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.
