Important

•Before connecting the appliance check that the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.

•Read these instructions carefully, in conjunction with the illustrations (page 3), before using the appliance.

•The appliance is double insulated and need not be connected to an earthed mains outlet. If you wish to use an extension cord, a 2-wire type is suitable. However, ensure that the plugs and cord allow high power (16A-220V / 13A-240V AC). If a reel type is used, unroll itcompletely to prevent overheating.

•It may happen, especially if the heater operates on maximum power ( 2 ) and another electrical device is switched on as well, that a fuse or circuit breaker cuts off the mains power. In such a case, the fuse or circuit breaker may not allow this high electrical power. You may connect one of the involved appliances to another circuit (employing another fuse or circuit breaker) or have the electrical installation revised by an authorized electrician.

•For your own safety and that of others: water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use this heater in a bathroom or near a swimming pool. Ensure that the appliance cannot fall into water (bath, wash basin, shower cubicle, etc.).

•Do not use the heater in rooms with explosive gas (e.g. petrol) or while using inflammable glue or solvent (e.g. when glueing or varnishing parquet floors, PVC etc.).

•Do not insert any objects into the heater.

•Ensure that children cannot play with the appliance.

•Attention: the front grille gets hot during use.

•Keep the mains cord at a safe distance from the air outlet openings.

•Prevent overheating of the appliance by keeping the air inlet and outlet openings free: do not hang anything in front of it or above it. Check the openings from time to time for accumulated dust.

If overheating should occur, the built-in overheating safety device will switch off the appliance.

•Allow ample space around the heater. A safe area to be left free is 50 cm at the top and at the sides, and 120 cm at the front.

•Do not allow aerosols, inflammable substances or materials sensitive to heat to be in the flow of hot air.

•Do not use the heater on extremely deep-pile carpets.

•Fan heaters are designed to heat and circulate air in rooms. Therefore, use the fan heater for this purpose only.

Safe positioning

(also refer to section “Important”)

•The heater must not be located below a socket outlet.

•The appliance must not be covered - otherwise there is a risk of fire.

•Position the appliance in such manner that the air flow, towards the heater and away from it, is not obstructed.

•Select a safe spot to avoid electrical shock and the risk of fire.

•Only touch the heater with dry hands.

•Allow ample space around the heater.
