WARNINGS FOR BATTERIES

Batteries must not be exposed to heat sources such as fire, sun or similar sources; remove batteries if they start to heat up or if the appliance is not used for a long time
Batteries must be installed correctly in the appropriate battery compartment;
Dispose of batteries that have reached the end of life or have been damaged in accordance with the national regulations in force and listed below.
In case of loss of battery fluid, remove all batteries, preventing the spilled liquid from coming into contact with the skin or clothing. If the liquid from the battery comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash the skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a paper towel cloth, or follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning.
ATTENTION!
Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Use and replace only batteries with the same size and type. Improper use of batteries can cause liquid leakage, overheating or explosion. This liquid is corrosive and can be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful to swallow.

To reduce the risk of injury:

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Do not heat, open, puncture, cut or throw batteries into fire.
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types
Do not leave metal objects that may come into contact with the battery terminals and therefore may heat up and/or cause burns

DISPOSAL

INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC AND CHANGES INTRODUCED BY DIRECTIVE 2013/56/EU
Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted waste. They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows their constituent materials to be recovered and recycled, resulting in significant savings in terms of energy and resources. In order to highlight the obligation regarding separate disposal, the battery carries the crossed-out dustbin symbol. Illegal disposal of the product by the user may lead to administrative sanctions being applied as per current regulations.

OVERHEATING SAFETY DEVICE

In the event of overheating, the protection system of the appliance will automatically disable the heating elements and the motor, thus causing the fan heater to stop working.
In this case:
- turn the fan heater off;
- remove the causes of the overheating (e.g. obstacles in front of the air input/output grilles, dust build-up inside the appliance, etc.);
- leave the appliance to cool down for 15-20 minutes;
- turn the fan heater on again and check that it works properly.
If the malfunction persists, contact an Authorised Service Centre.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE FAN HEATER IN WATER.

Cleaning the outside surface of the appliance
Switch off the appliance and unplug it before cleaning or moving the appliance. Use a soft cloth to remove any dust from the product. If this is not enough, use a soft cloth dampened with water and neutral detergent at a temperature below 50 °C. Leave the appliance to dry thoroughly before using it again. Do not use corrosive detergents or solvents such as petrol. Do not wash the appliance with water. When cleaning the appliance, do not use oils, chemical substances or other items that may damage the surface. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.

STORAGE
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods, it must be stored together with this manual in its original packaging, in a cool and dry place.
