The fan heater becomes hot when in operation; only touch the buttons and the plastic handle. Do not touch the grille on the front as it is very hot. Never insert fingers and/or any object through the front grille, as this may cause grazes, electric shock or damage to the appliance.

• The protective grille does not provide complete protection for children or those with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacities.
  WARNING!

  • Parts of this product may become very hot and cause burns. Special care must be taken in the presence of children or vulnerable individuals.
  • Warning: when using electrical appliances, always comply with the basic safety precautions to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock and physical injury.
  • Never use this appliance in a room with floor area of less than 4m².

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or the necessary knowledge providing they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance intended to be carried out by the user should not be done by children unless they are supervised.

• Children of less than 3 years of age must be kept at a safe distance unless continually supervised. Children between 3 and 8 years of age must only switch the appliance on/off if it has been placed or installed in its normal operating position and they are supervised or instructed regarding the safe use of the appliance and understand its dangers. Children between 3 and 8 years of age must not connect the plug, adjust or clean the appliance, or maintain or service it.

• Check that the fan heater does not come into contact with water or other liquids. If it is accidentally wet or immersed in a liquid, first disconnect the power supply by turning off the control panel switch, and only then remove the plug from the power socket. Dry both the plug and the power socket carefully before reactivating the power socket. Reconnect the plug to the power socket and then use the appliance. If in doubt, call in qualified staff.

• The appliance must not be placed just below a power socket.

• The power socket must be easily accessible so that the plug can be removed easily in an emergency.

• Do not use this appliance in the immediate vicinity of a bathtub, a shower, a swimming-pool, washbasins, etc.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its aftersales service, or by a person with similar qualifications, to prevent all risks.

• This appliance is not intended for operation by means of an external timer or with a separate remote control system, to avoid the risk of fire if the appliance is covered or not correctly positioned. Ensure that there are no other appliances drawing large amounts of power on the same electrical line.

• To avoid all risk of electric shock, never immerse the plug, the power cord or the appliance in water or any other liquid.

• Unplug the appliance from the socket when not in use.

• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.

• Never move the appliance when in operation.

• Never leave the device exposed to the weather (sun, rain, etc.).

• Do not pull on the power cable or the appliance itself to remove theplug from the power socket.

• Do not move the appliance by pulling the cable.

• Ensure that the heating element is free from dust, fluff or other materials: this improves the fan heater’s efficiency and prevents the appliance from overheating. Check regularly that the intake grille is not obstructed by objects, fabrics or other items, which might cause the appliance to overheat or fail.

INSTALLATION

• After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is intact; if in doubt, do not use it and call in qualified staff. Packaging components (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, etc.) must not be left within reach of children since they are potentially hazardous. 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 appliance, check that the voltage values marked on the nameplate are the same as those of the electrical mains, and that the power socket is properly earthed. If the appliance’s plug is not compatible with the socket, have the socket replaced with another of suitable type by qualified staff, who must ensure that the socket’s wire gauge is suitable for the appliance’s power draw (10A) Check that there are no other appliances drawing large amounts of power on the electrical line, to avoid overloads and fire risks. In general, the use of adapters and/or extension leads is not recommended; if their use is unavoidable, they must comply with current safety regulations and their current rating (amps) must be no lower than the maximum current draw of the appliance.
• Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and ensure that the power cord is not damaged and do not switch it on unless certain it is intact: if in doubt, call in qualified staff.
• Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and is not in contact with hot parts or sharp edges, or wound around the appliance or twisted, and does not become entangled, to prevent the appliance from falling.
• Do not hang the appliance on or even place it next to a wall.
• Place the fan heater well away from other heat sources, flammable materials (curtains, upholstery, etc.), flammable gases or explosive materials (spray cans) and materials which may warp in heat. Ensure that gaps of at least 120 cm in front of the fan heater and 50 cm at its sides and rear are left.
• The supporting surface must be stable, large (shelves are not acceptable), not sloping (as the appliance might tip over), smooth and heat-proof.
