FUNCIONAMIENTO (Figuras 1 y 2)
1.Cuidadosamente retire su Calefactor de la caja y la bolsa.
2.Coloque el Calefactor sobre una superficie firme y plana. CUIDADO: Los tacos de plástico o hule, tales como las patas de esta unidad, pueden pegarse a la superficie de los muebles y/o a los pisos de madera. La unidad podría dejar un residuo capaz de oscurecer, manchar o dejar marcas permanentes en el acabado de ciertas superficies de muebles, incluyendo superficies de madera y/o pisos de madera.
3.Asegúrese que el Calefactor esté en la posición de “APAGADO”
(0)antes de conectar el Calefactor al tomacorriente.
4.Conecte el cable a un tomacorriente de 120 voltios.
Asegúrese que el enchufe encaje firmemente en el
tomacorriente.
Cuando los enchufes quedan flojos dentro de los tomacorrientes, podrían deslizarse parcial o completamente fuera del tomacorriente con el menor movimiento del cable adosado. Los tomacorrientes en este estado podrían sobrecalentarse y representar un peligro de incendio grave; si queda cubierto por una cortina o tela, el peligro de incendio es todavía mayor.
5.Cuando el Calefactor sea encendido por primera vez, la Luz de Encendido se encenderá indicando que hay electricidad en la unidad. La Luz de Encendido permanecerá encendida hasta que el Calefactor sea desconectado del tomacorriente eléctrico.
6.Coloque la Perilla del Termostato en la Posición Máxima (
