SAFETY WARNINGS

Important: to avoid the safety system resetting accidentally, this
appliance must not be powered through an external timer.
• The first time you use the appliance, operate it for at least 15
minutes with the thermostat at maximum to eliminate the "new"
smell. A little smoke due to the protective substances applied to
the heating element before transport may be given off. This is
completely normal and not a cause for concern.
• Do not use the convector heater near bath tubs, showers,
sinks or swimming pools. The appliance must not be pla-
ced directly under a fixed socket.
• Do not rest the power cable on the appliance when hot.
• Always use the heater in a vertical position only.
• Do not obstruct the hot air outlet grilles or the air intake grille
on the bottom or top of the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given super-
vision 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.
• Heaters should never be used with an extension cord or outlet
strip. Heaters should be plugged directly into an outlet.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, an authorised service centre in order to eliminate all risk.
Please see guarantee leaflet for Customer Service details.
• Do not use this appliance in rooms measuring less than 4m
should avoid positioning it in currents of air which could disturb
operation of the heater.
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.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, never under
any circumstances cover the appliance during operation.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent reset-
ting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected
to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
