to the heating element before transport may be given off. This is completely normal and not a
cause for concern.

• The appliance must not be placed directly under a fixed socket.
• The heater must be positioned 50cm from furniture or other objects. Do not use this appliance

• Do not rest the power cable on the appliance.
• Always use the heater in a vertical position only.
• Do not obstruct the hot air outlet grilles or the air intake grille at the top or the bottom of
the appliance.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service
centre in order to eliminate all risk.
• 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.
• As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as
possible, caution and common sense should be applied when operating your appliance,
particularly in the vicinity of young children.
• This appliance is intended only for a domestic use.
A safety device trips and turns the appliance off in the event of overheating or if it is placed in
strong currents of air. To reset, unplug the appliance from the mains socket and leave to cool
down (about five minutes), remove the cause of overheating, plug back into the mains and turn
on again.
A number of models are fitted with a special device which turns power off if the appliance is
tipped over, sloped or knocked. If this occurs, you will hear a beep.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, never under any circumstances cover the
appliances during operation, as this would lead to dangerous overheating.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this
appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as an external timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
