Philips HD 3345 manual Switching on and off, “ = “Quiet” setting. Type HD 3348 only, Cleaning

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.
