FAQs

Can I use this heater with an extension cord?

No, this heater must be plugged directly into a wall socket and should not be used with an extension lead for safety reasons.

What is the maximum area this heater can effectively warm?

The heater is designed to warm spaces up to 28 square meters (m²).

How do I adjust the temperature for my plants?

You can adjust the temperature by using the thermostat control knob. The digital thermometer allows you to monitor and maintain the precise temperature required for your plants.

Is the heater safe to use in a humid greenhouse environment?

Yes, the heater has an IP24 rating, meaning it is splashproof and designed for use in humid environments. However, it should not be subjected to direct water contact or submerged.

Can the fan function be used for cooling in summer?

Yes, the fan setting can be used to keep greenhouses cool and aerated during hot summer weather.

What are the different heat settings available?

The heater has three settings: Fan only, 1400W, and 2800W.

How does this heater help prevent plant diseases?

By maintaining a stable temperature and circulating air with the fan, it reduces condensation and dampness, which helps to prevent common cold-related plant diseases like mould and rot.

Troubleshooting

Heater does not turn on

Ensure the heater is securely plugged directly into a functioning wall socket. Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Verify the chosen heat setting is not 'Fan Only' if heat is expected.

Insufficient heating in a large area

Confirm the heater is set to the maximum heat setting (2800W) and the thermostat is set appropriately higher than the ambient temperature. Consider adding additional greenhouse insulation to improve heat retention. Ensure the coverage area of 28m² is not exceeded.

Fan not working

Select the 'Fan only' setting or a heat setting that includes fan operation. Check if any vents are obstructed. If the fan remains inoperative, contact customer support.

Heater switches off unexpectedly

Check if the thermostat setting has been reached. Allow the unit to cool down if it has been running continuously on a high setting, as it may have an overheat protection mechanism. Ensure vents are clear.
