• This appliance is intended for domestic use only.
• Remember to turn the power switch to 0 and unplug the appliance when the appliance is not in use
or is to be moved or cleaned.
• This appliance is intended for use as auxiliary heating and should not be used unattended.
• During use, the appliance must not be placed directly under or facing a power outlet.
• The power cable must always lie freely and must not be exposed to anything that may damage it or
oveheat it. Make sure that it is not placed where it might be trodden on.
• The appliance must not be used if its cable is damaged or if it has been dropped or similarly
treated.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by authorised service
personnel.
• Avoid using extension cables as this may lead to overheating and even fire.
• Make sure that foreign objects do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet. This may lead to fire, electric
shock or damage to the heater.
• Do not use the heater in rooms where explosive gasses are present, or where flammable glue or
solvents are being used.
• Make sure there is a safe distance to furniture and other objects. 100 cm free space around and
above the heater is recommended. Make especially sure of
materials.
• Take special care when children or pets are near the heater, and do not leave it switched on without
a responsible adult present.

when moving it. Make sure the plug and lead are not strained when moving the heater.

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

under supervision, not as permanent heating.

usually only occurs the first time the heater is warmed up.

too close to curtains or furniture. Objects placed too close to the heater may be damaged.

permanently damage the appliance.
