Is this heater suitable for a bathroom?

Do I need a special app to use the smart features?

Yes, you will need to download either the Smart Life app or the SolAire IQ App to control the heater remotely and set schedules.

Can I control the heater without WiFi?

Yes, you can manually control the heater using the LCD display and buttons on the unit itself. However, smart features like remote control and scheduling require a WiFi connection.

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.

How large of a room can this 2000W heater effectively warm?

A 2000W heater is typically suitable for medium to large rooms, approximately up to 20-25 square meters, depending on room insulation, ceiling height, and ambient temperature.

Does the heater make any noise?

Troubleshooting

Heater not turning on.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the main power switch on the heater (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify there are no tripped circuit breakers.

WiFi connection fails.

Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. Verify that the WiFi password entered is correct. Move the heater closer to the WiFi router during setup or restart both the router and the heater.
