IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using any electrical appliance, some basic safety precautions should always be observed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons. Specifically:

Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
This appliance gets very hot when in use. To prevent burns, do not touch hot surfaces with bare skin. Use the handle when moving the appliance. Keep all flammable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front and top of the appliance also avoid contact with the sides and back.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet when the appliance is not in use.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after faulty operation, or when it has been dropped or damaged in any way. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
Do not use the appliance outdoors.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar indoor locations. Never position the appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or come in contact with water.
Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Keep the cord away from any passageways where it could be tripped over.
To completely turn off the appliance, push the ON/OFF button (A), and then unplug the heater.
Do not wrap the cord around the appliance immediately after use.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into the air intake or air outlet grille, as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the appliance.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or air outlet grille in any way. Do not use the appliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the openings may become blocked.
Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating and the risk of fire.
The internal parts of the appliance can become very hot or produce sparks during operation. Do not use the appliance in areas where gasoline, paints, or other flammable liquids are used or stored.
Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not indicated by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
To prevent current overload and blown fuses, make sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.
It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. However, an excessively hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and may be the result of a defective electrical outlet. Defective outlets must be replaced before using the heater. Plugging the heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power cord or may cause the risk of fire.
If the supply cord is damaged, to reduce the risk of malfunction it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed and qualified professional.
Do not use this appliance with an extension cord or outlet strip. Connect the appliance directly to a suitable outlet.
Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time, so check the plug periodically for signs of overheating or deformation. If the outlet has deteriorated, stop using it and have it repaired.
Check that neither the appliance nor the power cord have been damaged during shipping.
Make sure that no styrofoam or other packing materials remain in the appliance.
The first time the appliance is used, run it at the maximum power for at least two hours. During this time, ventilate the room thoroughly to eliminate the “new” smell released by the appliance. It is completely normal for the appliance to emit “creaking” sounds the first time it is run.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, make sure the wide prong of the plug is inserted in the wide slot of the outlet.
Do not place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
Extreme caution is necessary whenever the heater is left operating unattended.
Do not open the appliance. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Insert two AAA (R03/1.5V) batteries (included but packaged separately) making sure they are in the correct position (see the instructions inside the battery compartment);
Do not mix old and new batteries;
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbonzinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries;
Replace the cover;
Old batteries must be removed and disposed of in accordance with current legislation as they are harmful to the environment.

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance, always remove the plug from the power outlet.
During the season when the appliance is being used, regularly clean the air intake and outlet grilles using a vacuum cleaner.
Never use abrasive powders or solvents to clean the appliance.
Remove the back grille by pulling it outward (Fig. 1).
Remove the dust filter that filters impurities from the air taken in from the room, blow it lightly, then reposition it in the appliance.

WARNINGS

Never use this heating appliance in the immediate vicinity of a bathtub, shower, or swimming pool.
Use the appliance always and only in the vertical position.
Do not use the appliance to dry laundry, and do not obstruct the air intake and outlet grilles (danger of overheating).
Do not operate the appliance in contact with walls, furniture, curtains, etc.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the authorized service facility, or a qualified electrician, in order to prevent the risk of malfunction.
Do not cover the appliance while it is operating, as this could potentially cause a fire.
Do not use this appliance in a room smaller than 43 square feet (4 m²).
Heaters should never be used with an extension cord or outlet strip. Heaters should be plugged directly into an outlet.
Before storing the appliance, check it is completely off and the cable is unplugged. At this point wrap the cord around the base. Do not store in a dusty room. The room temperature should be between 32- 86°F (0-30°C). Do not load anything above it.
Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occured with the use of other appliances.

Additional safety features

Overheating protection: a safety device switches the heater off if it accidentally overheats (e.g.: air intake and outlet grilles obstructed, filter clogged). In this case remove the plug from the power outlet and leave it unplugged for a few minutes, eliminate the cause of overheating, then plug the fan heater back and turn it on again.
Tip over safety switch: a safety tip-over switch turns the heater off if it tips over or is positioned in an improper way that could jeopardize safety. The appliance emits a beep and the display will show a blinking dot. After the appliance has been restored in the vertical position it will take just few seconds to start on again.

Note: To avoid overheating the appliance, do not cover it.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

In case “PF” is displayed and a warning sound is emitted, there is a fault on the temperature sensor. If the problem persists contact the Service Center.

If the appliance shuts off unexpectedly:

Check that the appliance is receiving power.
Check that the appliance is in the vertical position and on a flat surface, as the safety tip-over switch may have been tripped.
Check the temperature set and the timer: the appliance may be off because the set temperature has been reached or the time set on the timer has elapsed.
