INSTALLATION

After unpacking, check that all parts of the appliance are present; if in doubt, do not use and contact a qualified technician. The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, metal staples, etc.) must not be left within reach of children, as they constitute possible sources of danger and must be disposed of according to applicable regulations. All packaging elements must be disposed of according to their raw material (see the symbol stamped on each one) and according to the provisions of their municipality. The secondary elements of the packaging with low weight (es: packing tape) are unmarked as are its small size packing materials, the protective film of surfaces: therefore you have to follow the procedures for the disposal in force in your municipality.
Before connecting the heater check that the voltage shown on the specifications plate corresponds to that of the electrical supply, and that the plug is effectively grounded. Check that other appliances with high absorption are not connected to the power line to avoid overloading and fire hazards. In the event of incompatibility between the power socket and the appliance’s plug, have the plug replaced with a suitable model by a qualified professional, who should ensure that the cable is appropriate for the power rating of the device. The use of adaptors or extensions is generally not advisable; if it is necessary to use them, they must comply with safety regulations and the total current (amps) must not be rated lower than the maximum current of the appliance.
The plug point must be accessible so as to easily remove the plug in case of an emergency.
Place the appliance far from any other source of heat, from flammable material (curtains, tapestries, etc.), from flammable gases or flammable material (sprays) and from materials that can be deformed by heat. Make sure there is 120cm of free space in front of the appliance and 50cm on the sides and back.
Do not use the appliance in areas where it could be bumped. Keep away from bathtubs and swimming pools to prevent it falling in.
The surface where the appliance is used must be stable, spacious (do not use on shelves), and level (since the appliance could tip over). It must also be smooth to allow the safety switch on the base to work correctly: this switch stops operation should the heater be knocked over.
Ensure that the power cable is correctly positioned and does not come into contact with hot parts or sharp edges, nor become wound around the appliance itself, is not twisted and does not snag, in order to prevent the appliance from falling. Make sure there’s no risk of tripping, to prevent people from accidentally being injured. Also make sure the cord is not under a carpet.
If there is a fault or the appliance is not working correctly, switch it off and have it checked by a qualified professional. Repairs done by an unqualified person can be dangerous and cause the guarantee to become void.
