Introduction

To get the most out of your new fan heater, please read
through these instructions and the attached safety
regulations before use. Please also save the instructions
in case you need to remind yourself of the fan heater’s
functions at a later date.

Thermostat Instructions

- At first turn the thermostat to “Max” and let the heater
operate with full power input. When the room
temperature reaches the required value, turn the
thermostat counterclockwise until it switches off.

- The thermostat will then switch on and off automatically
to control the room temperature according to the preset
value and to keep the room temperature constant.

- When using the heater for the first time, you may notice
a slight emission of smoke. This is quite normal and it
stops after a short time. The heating element is made of
steel and was coated with a layer of protective oil
during production. The smoke is caused by the leftover
oil as it is heated.
