Follow these steps to access the different programmes:
1.
Simultaneously hold the SET button on the screen and the green button on the air
gun pressed for two seconds. Release the two buttons. The correction value will
flash.
2.
If you do not wish to calibrate the temperature, press the SET button. CH1 and the
temperature value will flash. Adjust the temperature to the required value with the
arrows.
3.
When the temperature is set, press the SET button to enter the airflow setting
mode. Adjust the airflow to the required value with the arrows. Press the SET
button to confirm and to enter CH2.
4.
Follow the same pattern to set the temperature and airflow of CH2 and CH3.
5.
At the end of the sequence, select the temperature unit (°C or °F) with the arrows.
After all settings are completed, press the ENTER button to complete and store the
new parameters. Alternatively, if you just need to adjust one of the three channels,
you can change the temperature and airflow values for that channel by simply
pressing the ENTER button to store them.
To protect the heater, you should never set the airflow to zero (0). We recommend
setting a higher airflow value for higher temperatures.

Precautions
To extend the life of the heating element in the hot air gun, do not use the device
continuously at a low airflow and a high temperature. Allow the heating element to
cool after maximum 20 minutes of usage. Place the hot air gun back in its stand
when not in use.
Make sure that both heater and nozzle are cold before attaching the nozzle.
High temperatures! Both nozzle and airflow are extremely hot and can cause severe
burns. Never touch the nozzle and heater assembly or allow the hot air to blow
against your skin. When used for the first time, the hot air gun may emit some
white smoke, but this will soon dissipate.
Always let the unit cool down after use. After switching off, leave the power cord
plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling
function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for a short period. This protects
the heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug
during this cooling process.
