IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10.This unit must not come into contact with any water source and must be protected
from splashes (e.g. a wet mop). Do not use it if any part has been immersed.
Moreover, do not turn it on or off when standing in water or if your hands are wet.
11.When mounting the unit, make sure that the anchorage used can support the total
weight of the unit with the mounting brackets.
12.When cutting or drilling into a wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
13.When starting up the unit for the first time or after a long period, it might produce
some temporary odours and whitish smoke. This is normal.
14.Because this unit is hot when in use, it may pose risks even during normal
operation. Therefore, be careful and responsible when using it. To avoid burns, do
not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Let the unit cool down for a few minutes before
handling it (it stays warm for some time after shut-down).
15.The convertion heater must be installed at a minimal distance of 6 inches (153 mm)
between the floor and adjacent walls. Keep flammable materials, objects or pieces
of furniture such as, but not limited to, blankets, towels, beds, laundry baskets,
clothing, papers, etc. at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the unit since they are more
flammable than walls and floors.
16. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to a fire. Some materials are more
heat-sensitive than others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
17.Never block air vents. This obstruction could lead to overheating, which could result
in a fire.
18.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as this may cause electric
shocks, a fire or damages to the unit.

limited to, gasoline, paint, chlorine, sawdust and cleaning products.
20.Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user's responsibility to evaluate if
the unit must be cleaned based on the amount of dirt accumulated on and inside air
vents. Accumulated dirt can lead to a component malfunction or give a yellowish
colour to unit. Failure to install and maintain unit in accordance with these
instructions poses a fire hasard.
21.The thermal protection activation indicates that the unit has been subjected to
abnormal operating conditions so the light shall lit up. If the thermal protection
remains activated or activates and deactivates repeatedly, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician or a certified repair centre examine the unit in order to make
sure it is not damaged. (Refer to the limited warranty).
