For your own safety

This fan heater is an extra-heating in the house. It must be used according to this concept.
Make sure that your supply rating corresponds to what speci-fied on the rating plate i.e. 230 V AC, 50 Hz.
Don’t leave your home while the appliance is in function: ensu-re in this case that the switch is in OFF (0) position.
During function, place the heater in a safe position :
far (1 mt. ) from inflammable objects or furnitures; if wall mounted, not fixed to wooden or synthetic plastic surfaces;
leaving the air outlet space free : 1 mt. of free space in front of the heater and 50 cm. of free space behind it;
not located immediately below a socket-outlet.
Do not leave animals or children touch or play with the appli-ance.
Pay attention!
The air outlet grille gets hot during operation (more than 80°C i.e. 17 5°F). Parts of this product may be very hot and cause burns. Special attention is needed when child-ren or vulnerable persons are present.
Take care, that children are not playing with packaging material (e.g. Plastic Bags)
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not hang anything on the heater and do not cover it while it’s working. This is clearly written on the cover of the product or shown by the symbol
- Do not use the heater in rooms with explosive gas or while using inflammable solvents or varnish or glues.
- If the cordset is damaged and you have to change it, do not do the job yourselves! Take the product to an after sales authorised repair centre or to a person with similar skill and knowledge, in order to avoid any risk of danger.
- Do not use this heater close to showers, baths, swimming pools.
- The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is always accessible and not to be hot blown on.

Safe positioning

The appliance must be used only on a flat, stable surface.
The fan heater only operates when the safety switch on the bottom of the unit is pressed.
The appliance must be not accessible for persons who are ta-king a bath or in the shower.
Do not place the cable under a carpet.
Mind that during the function the cordset must be always com-pletely pulled out.

Use of the heater

1800 W (Oscillation)
900 W (Oscillation)
OFF
900 W
1800 W

Oscillation

Due to the oscillation (turning), a more equal temperature in the surrounding is achieved.
Never block the oscillation movement.

Use of the thermostat

In a room where the temperature is too high (more than 30°C), it is normal that the thermostat will not switch on the heater.
In a room where the temperature is too low (around 5°C or even less) it is also normal that the thermostat will keep the appliance working until the temperature gets higher.
- to select the right thermostat position we suggest you to
- turn the thermostat in the maximum position (clockwise);
- leave the appliance working until the comfortable temperature is reached;
- turn the knob anti-clockwise until you hear a „click“ and the red indication light turns off;
- turn clockwise again the knob (just a little): in this position, the thermostat will maintain the comfortable temperature you have selected. The red indication light shines if the heater turns on again.
If the appliance is used for the first time there can be a little smoke due to some production oil residues.

To clean the filter proceed as following (picture)

Pull out the power plug;
Loosen the filter-screw at the back of the product and pull it backwards;
Remove the sponge filter from its holder;
Clean the filter by water with wash power under the temperature of 30°C.

Safety in case of abnormal operation

In case of overheating the safety cut out protecting the heating element will automatically switch off the appliance.
In this case the appliance stops working and the pilot light will remain switched on even if the appliance is not working.
If this happens:
- switch off the fan heater;
- remove the causes of abnormal operation or overheating (i.e. obstacles in front of air inlet or air outlet grille);
- leave the heater cool down for 15/20 minutes;
- switch on again the fan heater.

Maintenance

This fan heater does not require any particular maintenance.
We only recommend cleaning at least twice a year the air inlet and air outlet grille with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from motor and heating element.
In case you need to repair it, please contact an authorized repairing center.
If the cord set is to be changed, please mind that a 2x1mm2 H05VVF cordset is to be used.
