DESCRIPTION AND USE
The appliance you have purchased is a fan heater
for wall mounting. The T version is equipped with a
programmable electronic daily/wekly timer-controller.
The appliance is ideal for use as a primary heat
source for a room when it would be too costly and
impractical to start up the central heating system.
Forced ventilation is automatically engaged in the
higher power setting, and provides faster and more
uniform room heating. The fan does not operate in
the lower power setting, making this setting
particularly suitable when silent operation is
required.
