Philips HD 3345 - Manual (Page 5)

Switching on and off
The function selector (D) enables you to select the
following functions:
O = “Off”. Both the fan and the two heating
elements are switched off.
“ = “Quiet” setting. (Type HD 3348 only.)
If set to this position the appliance operates
almost silently. Nevertheless it provides
enough heat to keep a person comfortably
warm if he/she is close to the heater.
1 = “Warm air” for gradual heating-up.
The fan and one heating element are
switched on.
2 = “Hot air” for quick heating-up.
The fan and two heating elements are
switched on.
Thermostatic temperature control
(Types HD 3346 and HD 3348 only)
Your fan heater is equipped with a thermostatic
temperature control (G). This control is used to
keep your room at a comfortable temperature by
sensing the temperature in the room and
switching the fan heater on and off automatically
to ensure this temperature is maintained.
To find the most comfortable setting:
- Turn the fan heater on.
- Turn the thermostat knob (G) clockwise to the
highest setting.
- When the room temperature is comfortable,
turn the knob slowly anti-clockwise until the fan
heater switches off.
- The fan heater will switch back on automatically
when the room temperature drops.
You can turn the thermostat knob while you are
using the fan heater.
Pilot light
- When the appliance is plugged in and switched
on, the pilot light will come on.
- The pilot light will stay on until the appliance is
switched off or unplugged.
- The pilot light will stay on even when the
thermostat turns the fan heater off.
This shows that the fan heater is still plugged in
and switched on.
Frost protection y
You can use the fan heater to keep frost away
from the area near the fan heater. For example, to
prevent pipes freezing.
- Put the fan heater close to the spot that you
want to keep frost-free.
- Switch the fan heater on.
- Set the thermostat knob to position y (the
lowest thermostat setting, which is about 5°C).
The fan heater will switch off.
- The fan heater will switch back on automatically
when the room temperature drops below 5°C.
Overheating safety device
To prevent damage and risks due to overheating,
the built-in overheating safety device cuts off the
power as soon as the heating elements become
too hot.
If this should happen:
- (Types HD 3346 and HD 3348 only): First
ensure that it was not the thermostat which has
switched off the heater. Set the thermostat to
maximum position. If the heater still does not
switch on, you can be sure that the safety
device has been activated.
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
- Let the heater cool down for 10 minutes.
- Check that the heater has been placed correctly.
- Check if anything is obstructing the air flow.
If necessary, clean the grilles with a vacuum
cleaner.
- Replace the plug into the wall socket and switch
the heater on again.
If the safety device again switches off the heater:
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
- Have the heater inspected by a Philips Service
Centre or your dealer.
Cleaning
- Set the function selector (D) to position O to
switch off.
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
- Wait for the heater to cool down sufficiently.
- You may clean the outside of the heater with a
damp cloth. Do not allow water to enter into the
appliance.
- Clean the air inlet and outlet openings regularly
(with normal use at least twice a year) with a
vacuum cleaner, using the brush attachment.
