This fan heater is designed for heating indoor premises. Before first use, ensure the appliance is undamaged and placed on a stable, horizontal surface. Maintain minimum clearance distances (50 cm on sides/top, 120 cm in front) to ensure proper airflow. Do not use in bathrooms, near water, or with external timers. Always operate under supervision.
Product description
The appliance features a mode selector, thermostat, and oscillation switch. Key components include:

- Cold air inlet
- Heated air outlets
- Mode selector
- Thermostat
- Indicator light
- Oscillation switch
Setup and installation
Before switching on for the first time, remove all packaging material. Ensure the appliance is placed on a stable, horizontal surface. Verify that the mode selector is in the OFF (0) position before plugging into a grounded 230V/50Hz wall outlet. Ensure the power cable is fully unwound and not placed under carpets or near air inlets/outlets.

Operation
Use the mode selector to choose between the following settings:
- 0: Fan and heating elements off
- Fan icon: Cold air (fan only)
- I: Warm air (fan + one heating element)
- II: Hot air (fan + both heating elements)
Use the thermostat to set the desired ambient temperature. In modes I and II, the appliance will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. The oscillation switch allows the unit to move within a 90-degree angle for wider heat distribution.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the appliance at least once a month:
- Switch off and unplug the unit.
- Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air inlet and outlet openings.
- Wipe the exterior with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners or allow water to enter the unit.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not heat, check the overheating protection and fan mode. If the indicator light is off, check the power supply and mode selector position. If the overheating protection activates frequently, clean the air inlets and outlets.
