FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY RULES

The use of devices that employ electrical energy and/or fuel oil requires the observance of some fundamental safety
rules such as:
Children ad unassisted disabled persons must not use the warm air heaters.
Do not operate electrical equipment such as switches, electric household equipment etc if you can smell fuel or other
combustibles. In this case:
• Open the doors and windows to aerate the room.
• Close the fuel supply valves.
• Call in quickly the After Sales Service or other professionally qualified personnel.
Do not touch the heater if you are barefoot or if parts of your body are wet.
Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance operation without first deactivating the heater by setting the main system
switch to "OFF" and without first closing the fuel supply.
Do not alter the safety and adjustment systems without prior authorisation and indications by the heater Manufacturer.
Do not pull, detach or twist the electric cables that exit the heater, even if the heater is not connected to the electrical
supply.
Do not open any doors that access the inside of the heater without turning the main system switch to "OFF".
Do not abandon or leave available to children the heater packing materials (cartons, nails, plastic bags, etc.), as these
are a potential source of danger.
Do not install the heater near flammable material, or in areas where there is a corrosive atmosphere.
Do not place any object on the heater or push anything through the grilles in the casing nor in the flue ducts.
Do not touch the flue ducts as during normal operation these can reach high temperatures and represent a risk.
Do not use any adapters, multiple sockets and cable extensions for the electrical connection of the heater.
Do not install the heater in the open air nor where it could be subject to atmospheric events.
Do not install the heater directly in limited spaces without adequate ventilation, as the burner air suction can create a
pressure drop in the room and consequently cause serious problems.
