• Should the appliance fail or not work correctly, disconnect the power
cord immediately. Check that it is not damaged, and thereafter turn
it back on: if in any doubt, consult a qualified professional.
• Do not pull on the power cord or the appliance itself to unplug the
appliance from the plug point.
• Do not pull on the power cord to move the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if it does not work properly or if it appears
damaged; when in doubt, contact a qualified technician.
• Ensure the heating element is free of dust, lint, or any similar material:
this improves the fan heater's performance, and prevents
overheating. Periodically check that the aspiration grille does not
become obstructed by objects, fabrics or other materials to prevent
overheating or breaking the appliance.
• 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 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 on the data plate matches that of
the electric system. In the event of incompatibility between the plug point and the appliance's
plug, have the plug replaced with a suitable model by a qualified professional, who should
ensure that the cord is suitable for the power rating of the appliance (10A). Check that other
appliances with high absorption are not connected to the power line to avoid overloading
and fire hazards. 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.
• Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and that the power cord is not
damaged: if in doubt consult a qualified professional.
• Ensure that the power cord is correctly positioned and does not come into contact with hot
parts or sharp edges, or become wound around the appliance itself and is not twisted.
• Do not hang or even lean the appliance against any walls.
• Place the fan heater far from any other source of heat, from flammable material (curtains,
tapestries, etc.), from flammable gases or explosive objects (spray cans) and from materials
that can be deformed by heat. Make sure there is 120 cm of free space in front of the fan
heater and 50cm free space on both sides and behind it.
• The surface where the appliance is used must be stable, spacious (do not use on shelves),
level (since the appliance could tip over) and heat resistant.
