USER MANUAL
OHY SERIES
You have just purchased a highly sophisticated heater unit
establishing new standards in design and precision while
being filled with industry-first characteristics. This heater will
bring you warmth and piece of mind for the years to come. If
you have any question concerning your unit, do not hesitate
to communicate with our customer service department.
Hybrid Series is a convection and forced-air wall heater of
great power including an integrated electronic thermostat, a
completely quiet timer, a night light with integrated switch, a
contemporary look and a user-friendly interface. The thermos-
tat manages when the fan needs to start in order to keep a
constant temperature.
Please read and understand this user guide completely
before using the heater. Failing to follow this user guide and
if the heater is not installed according to installation instruc-
tions included in the box, the manufacturer will not be liable
for the warranty.
HEATER OPERATION
Once the unit is powered up the blue display indicates the
ambient temperature in degree Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit
(°F). To change the units from °C to °F or vice versa, press
the two buttons with arrow signs on the right side of display
simultaneously for two (2) seconds.
IMPORTANT: The 1
st
stage of heating (1000W) is a natural
convection type, it is normal that you feel heat coming out of
the grill even if the fan is not running. The fan will start only
with the 2
nd
stage of heating or in timer mode.
For the set point temperature, use the top arrow button ( )
and the down arrow button ( ) to adjust the setting between
10 to 35 °C (50 to 95 °F). When heater is on, four gradated
lines indicate the power level on the left side of the display.
For timer mode (boost heating), use the hour-glass button
located on the left side of display. Press once to activate this
mode and to see the remaining time flashing (“min” is now
displayed in the bottom right corner). Display will stop flash-
ing after five (5) seconds. While the remaining time flashes,
press again the button on the left to set the minutes to 5, 10,
15, 20, 25 or 30. If display does not flash any more, press
again the button on the left to turn off the timer. Whenever
needed in the timer mode, use the arrows located on the
right side to increase or decrease remaining time. When in
the timer mode ambient temperature is not displayed.
To turn on and off the night light use the button located
underneath. The night light is a low-consuming device due to
its technology.
NOTICE
When starting up the heater for the first time, some smoke
will come out of the louvers; this is totally normal and will
stop after a few minutes of use. Also, under normal use the
heater may become hot.

splash get inside heater. IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE
