unwind the cord to its full length and
remove any protective cardboard or foam
that may have been used to minimise
transportation damage.

to ensure no foreign material is blocking
these areas.

4. Make certain the selector knob is
turned to OFF “O” and the temperature
knob to HIGH (KFH29 and KFH31 only).

5. Plug the power cord in a 230-240Volt
power outlet.To avoid an electrical circuit
overload, it is recommended that no
other appliances are plugged into the
same circuit with your heater when you
switch the unit on.

knob and temperature knob, as follows:

O Shuts off both heater and fan

*

heating power

2 Gives hot air with maximum

knob acts as an automatic thermostat:

• Turn both selector and temperature
knobs to high

• Once a comfortable room temperature
has been reached, slowly turn
temperature knob anti-clockwise until
you hear a click.

• At this setting your heater will
automatically cycle high and low to
maintain the desired room temperature

• For KFH29 only: Set the Oscillating
switch to ON, the heater will oscillate

0

least 5 minutes for the protection system
to reset before attempting to restart the
heater.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Always turn off and then unplug the
heater before cleaning.

• Use only a clean, dry cloth to clean the
external surfaces of the heater only.

• If the heater has collected dust or dirt
inside the unit or around the element,
have the unit cleaned by a qualified
service agent. Do not operate the heater
in this condition.

• Do not attempt to open the case of the
heater at anytime, there are no
customer serviceable parts inside.
