STAND-BY

LED

Move the switch-on button (on the rear, beneath the air intake grille) to position ‘I’. When the appliance emits a beep, this means that the fan heater is ready for use (stand-by). The STAND-BY LED is lit.

By pressing the STAND-BY button ‘ ’, the appliance will start functioning in NORMAL mode, at the

COMFORT heat level .

At this stage it is possible to leave the NORMAL operating mode or select the BODY-SENSOR mode (activation of the PRESENCE SENSOR): the corresponding LED will light up.

In both the NORMAL and in the BODY-SENSOR modes, it is possible to select the COMFORT mode

(maximum heat 2000 W) or the ECO mode (minimum heat 1300 W) or cool ventilation (seq.). It is also possible to set the timer for switch-off, after 1, 2 or 4 hours.

When the COMFORT mode is selected, the appliance will first operate for 10” at minimum power before activating the maximum heat mode.

If the unit is operating and the STAND-BY button is pressed, the unit will continue to ventilate for a few minutes before switching off completely, to cool the ceramic heating element.

If the unit has been in stand-by mode for quite some time, so that the heating element has already cooled down, pressing the ON/OFF button causes the unit to switch off instantly, without ventilating.

In the BODY-SENSOR mode: every 2 minutes the unit detects the presence of people in the room, in the range of approximately 2 metres. If is does not detect anyone and the ECO or COMFORT modes have been selected, the heating element switches off but the fan will continue operating for 8 minutes: the unit will then enter the stand-by mode. If the cold ventilation mode is selected, the fan will continue to operate for 10 minutes before entering the stand-by mode.

To switch off the fan heater completely, move the on/off button to the “0” position.
