Dyson AM05 fan heater

Let's get your machine working.

The heater is fitted with automatic cut-out switches that operate if the heater tips over or overheats. If the cut-out operates, unplug the heater and allow it to cool.

Hard reset

Unplug the machine and leave it for 10 seconds.

Hard reset

Unplug the machine and leave it for 10 seconds.

Plug the machine back in and retest.

Check that the household electrics are on.

Change the fuse in the machine's plug.

Check the plug and power cord for signs of damage.

Try the machine in a different plug socket.

Ensure the correct button on remote is being pressed

Point the remote directly at the front of the machine while pressing the button.

1) On/Off

2) Oscillation

3) Airflow speed

4) Temperature control

Check and clean machine

Clean the loop and base

Check for blockages and remove as necessary.

Machine is working

This is normal and the machine is working as expected.

Machine is working normally

This is completely normal.

The machine will run very slowly when in idle mode to keep air flowing over the thermostat so it can constantly regulate the temperature of the air.

There is no safety concern.

If the noise is intrusive, switching the machine off at the wall will stop the noise, or altering the position of the product in the room might make the noise less audible.

If pressed, it should be stated that the noise is caused by some of the electrical components emitting a frequency which can sometimes be heard as an electrical humming noise. This is not specific to Dyson products.

Ensure the correct button on remote is being pressed

1) On/Off

2) Oscillation

3) Airflow speed

4) Temperature control

Select a different option on the remote

Point the remote directly at the front of the machine while pressing a different option.

Test the remote buttons

Airflow can be set by the airflow buttons on the remote.

Airflow can also be set on the machine. Use the middle control toggle to adjust the speed of the airflow.

Paper test

The fan has a strong, smooth airflow when switched on. The airflow should be strong enough to lift a sheet of newspaper past 45 degrees.

Hold a newspaper approximately 2 meters (6' 6'') away from the product with the airflow control dial turned to maximum.

Wipe the machine

The following areas should be checked and cleaned to maintain the machine's performance.

Main body

Loop amplifier

The heating elements turn on one at a time and so this is to be expected when the machine first turns on.

Run the heater for 1 minute at the highest temperature setting.

Retry machine at 32°F/0°C

On first use, the heater will default to a temperature 1°C/33°F higher than the current room temperature.

Thereafter, the heater will remember the last target temperature set.

The heater will not operate unless the target temperature is above the room temperature.

Please retry the machine at temperature setting 37°C/99°F.

The heater will not operate unless the target temperature is above the room temperature, or the target temperature is set to 32°F/ 0°C for cooling.

Please retry the machine at temperature setting 32°F/ 0°C.

Retry machine at 37°C/99°F

On first use, the heater will default to a temperature 1°C/33°F higher than the current room temperature.

Thereafter, the heater will remember the last target temperature set.

The heater will not operate unless the target temperature is above the room temperature.

Please retry the machine at temperature setting 37°C/99°F.

Test oscillation

Before switching on, please make sure the fan is positioned so that the airflow or oscillation is not obstructed.

Check the feet are attached correctly

Ensure all the feet are attached to the base of the machine.

Place the fan on a flat, non-slip surface.

Select a different option on the remote

Point the remote directly at the front of the machine while pressing a different option.

Test the other buttons on the remote

1) On/Off

2) Oscillation

3) Airflow speed

4) Temperature control

Change the remote battery

Push the remote control's battery compartment.

Loosen the base and pull it away from the remote. Replace the battery with type CR 2032.

Test the buttons on the front of the machine.

Ensure the correct button on remote is being pressed

1) On/Off

2) Oscillation

3) Airflow speed

4) Temperature control

Check the bottom of the base unit has not come away, there will be a visible gap.

If there is a visible gap, press firmly down on the loop amplifier until the base clicks into place.

Target temperature explanation

The temperature set on the machine is the target temperature of the room, not the temperature of the fan.

The temperature from the fan when in heating mode will not change.

Test the remote buttons

Point the remote directly at the front of the machine while pressing the button.

This issue can occur if the machine is running and the power is cut e.g. plug pulled out, power cut etc.

Unplug the machine for at least 5 seconds or until the LED goes out.

Plug the machine back in and retest.

How to tilt the machine

Place the machine on a flat, stable surface.

Tilt the loop amplifier forwards slightly.

The loop should stay in the position it was left in.

Where to clean your machine

The following areas should be checked and cleaned to maintain the machine's performance.

• Loop amplifier - clean with a dry or damp cloth.
• Main body - clean with a dry cloth
• Shroud - clean with a dry cloth or soft brush

WARNING: Do not use polish or detergent on any part of the machine.

Replace the remote control battery

Please follow the steps in the video.

Replace the remote control battery

Turn off power and unplug the machine.

Push the base of the remote.

The battery compartment will open and you will be able to pull it out.

Replace battery (type CR 2032) and reinsert the compartment until you hear a click.

Serial number location

The serial number can be found on the base of the machine.

Please open the PDF for the user guide.

Quick start guide

Watch the simple video below for an easy guide to getting started with your new Dyson heater.

The model shown may vary from the product selected but the process remains the same.

If you are unable to view the video or prefer to follow a step by step guide choose the appropriate option.

Assembling your machine

NB: Before switching on, please make sure the heater is positioned so that the airflow or oscillation is not obstructed.

Align the black arrows located on the base and Main body of the machine.

How to change the airflow speed

To change the airflow speed press the airflow control button.

The digital display will show the new speed; after 3 seconds it will change back to the target temperature.

How to tilt

Carefully hold the base and top of the loop amplifier. Tilt forward or backwards for the required airflow angle.

Heating modes

For heating in a single spot, select a low flow of air.

For heating a whole room, select a high flow of air. For best results turn on the oscillation control.

Remote control

Use the ON/OFF, oscillation, airflow speed and thermostat controls as shown: To operate, point remote control toward the front of the base. The remote control docks magnetically on the top of the heater with the buttons facing down.
