Product Information
Full details
The Bruno Nostal S is a lightweight, portable carbon heater designed for individuals who need immediate, localized warmth in small to medium-sized rooms such as kitchens, home offices, or dressing areas. It delivers efficient, directional heat through a single curved carbon tube and features simple, intuitive controls, making it an excellent choice for quick spot heating; however, it is strictly intended for supplemental warmth rather than as a primary heating source for large living spaces.

FAQs
Can I leave the Bruno Nostal S running all night?
No. The unit features an automatic 2-hour shut-off, making it unsuitable for continuous overnight use. It is intended for monitored, short-term heating.
Is this heater safe for use around pets or children?
While the unit includes a tilt-switch safety feature, it should always be placed out of reach of children and pets, as the heating element can become hot during operation.
Does this heater include a thermostat?
The Bruno Nostal S uses a manual power dial (MID/MAX) rather than a temperature-controlled thermostat.
What is the power consumption of this heater?
The unit operates at 350W on the MID setting and 600W on the MAX setting.
Can I use an extension cord with this device?
It is recommended to plug the heater directly into a wall socket. If an extension lead must be used, ensure it is rated for the correct wattage and is fully uncoiled.
Troubleshooting
The unit will not power on.
Check that the power cord is firmly connected to the wall socket and that the socket is switched on. Ensure the heater is placed on a completely flat surface to avoid activating the tilt safety sensor.
The heater turned off unexpectedly.
The unit features a 2-hour automatic shut-off timer; simply turn the dial back to the desired setting to resume heating. Also, check that the unit has not been tilted or moved.
The heater smells like burning plastic.
New heaters may emit a slight odor during the first few uses due to manufacturing residues on the element. Run the heater in a well-ventilated room for 30 minutes to clear the scent.
