Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Number: HFH1800
- Voltage: 220-240V~
- Wattage: 1800W
- Heat Settings:
- Low heat: 900W
- High heat: 1800W
- Safety Features:
- Automatic cut-off switch to prevent overheating due to airflow obstruction.
- Designed for indoor use only.
Usage Features:
The heater is designed for ease of use with straightforward controls located on the back of the unit.
- Placement: The heater should be placed on a hard, level surface, ensuring enough clearance from its surroundings. It must not be located immediately below a socket outlet, and the socket must always be accessible for disconnection. It is crucial to avoid placing the heater on long pile carpet or flokati rugs; a heat board should be used if necessary. Soft furnishings like hearth rugs should be kept away from the front to prevent obstruction of hot air flow.
- Operation:
- Insert the plug into a mains socket.
- Select the desired function using the switches on the back:
- Flame dimmer control: Adjusts the intensity of the flame effect.
- "I" Heat switch (Low heat setting): Activates the 900W heating function.
- "II" Heat switch (High heat setting): Activates the 1800W heating function.
- The fan switch must be on to activate any heat functions. Heating cannot start without the fan.
- Automatic Cut-Off: In the event of overheating, typically caused by an obstruction in the airflow, the automatic cut-off switch will activate. If this occurs, the heater must be allowed to cool for 15 minutes, and any obstruction must be removed before restarting. The heater will only operate if the fan switch is on and the thermostat is set above the current room temperature.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always read and follow the instructions in the user manual.
- Do not cover the heater or obstruct its air inlets and outlets to prevent overheating and fire risk.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 1m from combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, clothes, and curtains.
- Do not use the heater in areas where petrol or other flammable substances, sprays, solvents, or glues are used or stored.
- Avoid using the appliance outdoors or in the immediate vicinity of water (bathtubs, washbowls, swimming pools).
- Do not operate with wet or damp hands.
- Never immerse the product in water or any other liquids.
- Do not operate if the product is dropped, damaged, or shows signs of malfunction.
- Do not run the main cable under carpets or rugs.
- Ensure the mains cable does not hang over sharp edges or come into contact with hot surfaces.
- Fully unwind the power cord before use, as a coiled cord can overheat.
- Avoid twisting or wrapping the power cord around the appliance.
- Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary, and if used, ensure it is as short as possible.
- Do not connect the heater to the same socket or electric circuit with other electrical appliances to prevent overloading.
- Children aged 3 years and less than 8 years should only switch the appliance on/off under supervision and only if it is in its normal operating position. They should not plug in, regulate, clean, or perform user maintenance.
- Always use a fireguard when children and infirm persons can come into contact with the heater.
- Do not sit or stand on the heater.
- The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility, to avoid inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out.
