6. OPERATING THE HEATER
Never cover the heater or obstruct the opening at the base of the heater, this
could cause overheating and consequent risk of fire.
The appliance can be controlled by the manual control located on the lower left hand
side of the heater or by using the remote control handset.
How does the heating element operate?
The heating element on the heater has a fixed 2kW output, and is controlled by an
electronic thermostat. The heating element operates to reach a preset temperature,
which when achieved, will result in the heating element and heater fan switching off.
When the thermostat detects a temperature below the preset temperature, the heater
fan and heating element will switch on automatically, according to room temperature
and chosen thermostat setting. The heater fan and element will therefore cycle off
and on during normal operation.
