2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT, SAFE USE OF THE APPLIANCE

The following instructions must be read, understood and complied with before commissioning the appliance. They are especially useful for the protection of the safety, physical conditions and security of the operator and persons nearby, as well as for providing valuable information for preventing faults and malfunctions, for prolonging the service life, for reducing energy consumption and for environmental protection.

• The appliance is designed for household and non-intensive use. Any professional use compromises the safety requirement and is a condition for inapplicability of the warranty.

• The appliance is intended for indoor use and protected from inclement weather: use in an outdoor environment compromises the safety requirement and constitutes a potential hazard for the safety of the operator and persons nearby.

• The appliance must not be used if it shows deformations, bulges, cracks in the casing, missing parts or other structural anomalies. If these conditions occur, disconnect the power supply and contact qualified technical personnel.

• The appliance must not be used if it emits unusual noises, foul odours, smoke, vapours or any other type of exhalation not related to its normal use. If these conditions occur, disconnect the power supply and contact qualified technical personnel.

• The appliance must not be stored or used in excessively humid or dusty environments, in the presence of atmospheres saturated with gas, fumes, in excessive or low temperatures or under direct solar radiation.

• The appliance must not be used in explosive atmospheres, near explosive, combustible, detonating or flammable material (e.g. petrol pumps, gas cylinders, etc.). Such use constitutes a serious risk to the safety of the operator and persons nearby and may cause fires or deflagrations.

• Make sure that each part of the appliance, especially the cord, is placed at a safe distance from heat sources (e.g. electric or gas cookers), both during use and when not in use.

• The appliance and all its parts must be handled with special care to avoid damaging the halogen lamp, which is particularly fragile.

• During use, the appliance must be constantly supervised: do not use it in the absence of operators or persons who are able to constantly check its correct operation.

• If the appliance needs to be left unattended, switch it off.

• During use, the appliance must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 cm from surrounding objects on each side: this precaution prevents parts from overheating and improves performance.

• The appliance must be placed in a location where its operation cannot cause overheating, deformations or the unexpected movement of objects and materials.
  Therefore, check the trajectory of the outbound air flow.

• Do not use the appliance to dry garments or any other objects by resting them on the grille, which would seriously compromise the integrity of the appliance, as well as the health and safety of the operator and nearby persons and animals.

• Do not insert any objects into the grille: damage to the mobile parts or lamp could create situations of risk for the user and nearby persons and animals through injury or electric shock.

• Take the utmost care not to touch any part of the appliance during operation or in the minutes immediately following operation: parts reach temperatures capable of causing burns and physical injury.

• Ensure a standstill period of at least 30 minutes every 60 minutes of use in heating mode.

• Do not surround the appliance with any heat reflective material (e.g. aluminium).
  Doing so in no way enhances its performance and causes overheating, with the possibility of breakdowns and danger to the operator and nearby persons or animals.

• Make sure that every part of the appliance has cooled down adequately before storing it.

• Do not use the appliance if one or more of the parts listed in the following chapter are missing or damaged: contact your dealer for repair.

• Periodically check the conditions of the parts making up the appliance, in particular the power cord: if any anomalies are found, refrain from using the appliance and contact qualified technical personnel.

• Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive detergents for cleaning operations: refer to the following chapter for complete requirements.

• Cleaning operations must be carried out taking care to disconnect the appliance from the power supply: refer to the following chapter for the relevant requirements.

• The appliance must be connected to a compliant electrical system. The electrical system must have a power rating equal to or greater than that of the appliance and must be earthed.

• Before connecting the plug of the power cord to the socket, make sure that the voltage of your household installation corresponds to the voltage indicated on the appliance.

• Do not connect the appliance to extension cords, power strips, multi-socket strips, timers, controlled sockets or other devices that can start it up independently.

• If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, it is advisable to unplug the power cord from the socket: this will extend the life of the appliance and help reduce energy consumption.

• Do not disconnect the power supply by pulling on the cord: grasp the plug firmly with one hand, place the other hand on the frame of the electrical outlet and disconnect with a quick, sharp movement.

• Before disconnecting the appliance, make sure that it is switched off, unless you need to disconnect it in an emergency situation due to abnormal behaviour as described in this chapter.

• The appliance must be kept out of the reach of children under 8 years of age; in any case make sure that it is not used for play.

• If the appliance is used by children, even if they are over 8 years old, or by persons with reduced cognitive, sensory or motor skills, they must be instructed about the dangers of incorrect use of the appliance and it must be guaranteed that the
  information has been correctly and fully understood. Adequate supervision must however be ensured.

• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of liquid accumulations or sources, such as swimming pools, tanks, tubs, showers, sinks, other sanitary fixtures, faucets, pipes, sprinklers, bottles, storage vessels, expansion vessels, watercourses, flowerpots and similar. Do not place containers holding liquids on top of the appliance; make sure that the power cord or electrical plug is never submerged.

• Do not use the appliance with wet hands.

• Do not move the appliance by tugging on the cord.

• Do not immerse the appliance in any type of liquid.

• Before stowing the appliance, make sure that it has completely cooled, i.e., that it has been switched off and/or disconnected from the mains for at least one hour.

• Do not position the appliance in such a way that the generated flow can be directed towards electrical connections such as power outlets, including wall sockets, extension cords, power strips, electrical adaptors, switches or similar.

• Do not use the appliance continuously for long periods. Excessive hot or dry air can be harmful to health.

• Do not remain within the operating range of the appliance for long periods. Direct radiation from the lamp, as well as the direct air flow can lead to health-critical situations.

• There is no reason to disassemble the appliance, not even after it has been decommissioned. It is composed of parts that could be swallowed by children or persons with reduced cognitive ability.

• Do not carry out any repairs yourself; in the event of a fault, have the appliance inspected by a qualified technician.

• None of the parts of the appliance must be modified under any circumstances: doing so normally constitutes a serious impairment of the safety requirement, a condition for immediate forfeiture of the warranty and does not lead to any increase
  in performance.

• Do not subject the power cord to excessive bending or kinking: any internal damage to the cable which cannot be detected constitute a serious safety hazard.

• Place the appliance at an adequate distance from moving parts such as curtains, door and window sashes, hatches or similar in order to avoid accidental contact.

• Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface and ensure that the appliance cannot move independently due to gravity or external forces.

• Keep this manual for future reference.

3. IDENTIFICATION OF PARTS

The contents of the package and the parts of the appliance
The appliance can be assembled in two different configurations: floor-standing and floor-based.

Floor-standing configuration

1. Appliance body
2. Telescopic pedestal
3. Pedestal coupling
4. Base
5. Remote Control

The floor-standing configuration is preferable for the cooling function, as the elevated position of the fan impeller enhances the air flow throughout the room, thus optimising cooling and the removal of humid air.

Floor-based configuration:

1. Appliance body
2. Coupling shaft
3. Base
4. Remote Control

The floor-based configuration is preferable in heating mode as it facilitates the replacement of the cold, denser air normally found in the bottom layers, with the warm air generated by the appliance. The latter tends to naturally rise, allowing for more efficient distribution throughout the room.

4. COMMISSIONING AND FIRST START-UP

Some preliminary operations are necessary before first use. Proceed as follows:

• Unpack the appliance and check the conditions and completeness of the equipment, as indicated in the previous chapter.
• Keep the packaging for 15 days in case it needs to be returned to the retailer; after this period, dispose of it in accordance with the instructions on the separation of materials indicated on it.
• Read this manual in its entirety, paying particular attention to the instructions for safe use.
• Carefully remove all possible fastening materials from parts, including internal parts.
• Fully remove any stickers from the surface of the appliance.
• Remove the film on the bottom part of the remote control battery compartment, pulling it outwards.

Assembly in floor-standing configuration:

1. Place the base on a flat and stable surface, check that its location complies with the safety requirements in section 2 above. Therefore, it must be positioned at a safe distance from fixed or moving objects, build-ups or sources of water or other liquids, etc.
2. Insert the part of the floor-standing pedestal with a wider diameter into the hole in the base and screw it in, turning it clockwise, keeping it as upright as possible until it is fully tightened, that is, until further tightening is met with considerable resistance.
3. Extract the tap screw located at the rear and bottom of the motor body, turning it slightly counter-clockwise, until it no longer obstructs the insertion of the pedestal in the bottom hole. If the screw starts to come out of its seat, it can be re-inserted by resting it in the threaded hole and turning it slightly clockwise.
4. Fully insert the motor body onto the top of the pedestal, then secure the motor body by turning the tap screw clockwise until rotation is met with considerable resistance.
5. For greater safety, lift the entire appliance by a few centimetres and check that none of the parts disconnect from the others. The appliance can now be put into operation.

Assembly in floor-based configuration:

1. Place the base on a flat and stable surface, check that its location complies with the safety requirements in section 2 above. Therefore, it must be positioned at a safe distance from fixed or moving objects, build-ups or sources of water or other liquids, etc.
2. Insert the part of the coupling shaft with a wider diameter into the hole in the base and screw it in, turning it clockwise, keeping it as upright as possible until it is fully tightened, that is, until further tightening is met with considerable resistance.
3. Extract the tap screw located at the rear and bottom of the motor body, turning it slightly counter-clockwise, until it no longer obstructs the insertion of the coupling shaft in the bottom hole. If the screw starts to come out of its seat, it can be re-inserted by resting it in the threaded hole and turning it slightly clockwise.
4. Fully insert the motor body onto the top of the coupling shaft, then secure the motor body by turning the tap screw clockwise until rotation is met with considerable resistance.
5. For greater safety, lift the entire appliance by a few centimetres and check that none of the parts disconnect from the others. The appliance can now be put into operation.

Head tilt:
The top part, consisting of the propeller, cage and motor, can be tilted slightly upwards from the horizontal position to promote the vertical orientation of the air flow, especially if the appliance is assembled in the floor-based configuration. Assistance by a second person is recommended to adjust the head tilt. To perform this procedure, using a Phillips screwdriver, slightly unscrew (one turn is enough) the screw on the right-hand side immediately below the motor. The head will then be loose enough to be tilted in the desired direction, but regardless no more than 30­35 degrees upwards. For greater dexterity, this procedure should be performed before installing the body of the appliance on the telescopic pedestal or coupling shaft. Once the necessary tilt has been achieved, tighten the previously loosened screw until any further tightening is met with considerable resistance.

Adjusting the floor-standing height:
The telescopic pedestal can be adjusted to different heights within its range to perfect the orientation of the flow. The assistance of a second person is recommended to adjust the height of the pedestal. To perform this operation, turn the locking flange at the bottom of the chrome-plated section of the pedestal counter-clockwise, taking care not to unscrew the pedestal from the base and, if the appliance is already assembled, making sure the body of the appliance doesn’t suddenly drop down. Lift or lower the body of the appliance to the desired height. Then, holding it in position, retighten the locking flange until it is met with considerable resistance. Despite being more convenient the other way around, for reasons of greater dexterity and safety, this procedure should be carried out before the appliance is assembled, taking into account that when fully extended, the pedestal can determine an overall appliance height between 97 and 116 cm.

First start-up and operating check:
Perform the following operations in order:

If each operation has the described effect, the appliance is working properly and can be used as described below. If, however, anomalies are detected, disconnect the appliance from the mains and contact the dealer from which the product was purchased.

5. USING THE APPLIANCE

Use of the appliance entails the rotation of the blade, which moves the air in the room where it is installed and, if necessary, also heats it. There are two heating levels, proportional to the power level of the halogen lamp: full power mode evidently improves the speed at which the room is heated but does not necessarily generate greater long-term comfort; to the contrary, an overly high temperature can cause excessive dehydration of the air and rarefaction of the oxygen in the room, thus resulting in less comfort and higher energy consumption. The use of intermediate heating is therefore preferable, where possible.

The control panel buttons:

The same buttons are replicated with the same functions on the remote control.

Pressing each button activates the corresponding function, considering that it is possible to switch from the fan function (lamp off) to the heater function (lamp on) but not vice versa, since the lamp cannot be instantly cooled. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the appliance off and wait for the lamp cooling time, at minimum rotation speed (about 20 seconds). Then, once it has fully stopped, activate the fan.

The LED indicator lights:

Power-off timer

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The appliance does not require maintenance, understood as the replacement of consumables or scheduled servicing; it is normally sufficient to regularly clean the surfaces. All cleaning must absolutely be carried out with the power cord disconnected and, before reconnecting, ensure that all parts are completely dry. Use a simple, strictly non-abrasive cloth and wipe gently: then dry approximately with a dry cloth. In any case, strictly avoid aggressive detergents, abrasive sponges, steel wool or other chemical cleaners: the non-accessible parts inside the grille (propeller or lamp) can be cleaned with a canister of compressed air from a considerable distance and with the appliance switched off for at least one hour, and therefore with the lamp fully cooled.

Replacing the remote control batteries:
To replace the batteries, press inwards on the battery tray lever, located on the bottom edge of the remote control. Then, holding the lever pressed, pull the tray out using the special notch to help. Replace the battery, ensuring correct polarity (positive side up), then reinsert the tray by simply pushing it all the way in.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

Should any malfunctions occur other than those listed above, including the failed or partial heating of the rods with the switch on, a self-sufficient solution is not feasible and the appliance must be inspected by a qualified technician.
