11. Before wiring the heater make sure that the voltage is the same as indicated on
the device rating plate.

12. Do not use in presence of gas, inflammable or explosive liquids or substances.

13. Some fundamental rules which apply to all electrical devices must be observed

2

when using the heater:

CAUTION

• Do not touch the heather with wet hands.

• Do not handle with bare feet.

• Do not pull the electric cord or the device itself to unplug it from the socket;

pull the plug directly.

14. Avoid the use of an extension cord with this product, because the extension cord
may overheat and cause a risk of fire.

15. Do not apply any modification to the product that could compromise the safety.

16. Keep connections dry.

17. If the appliance is not used for a long period, disconnect it from the power supply.

18. Always disconnect the appliance before doing any maintenance operation.

Some parts of the appliance may become hot and cause burns.
Caution should be exercised if there are children and vulnerable people.

2. CAUTION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person
in accordance with the standards HD 384 CENELEC for Europe, or international IEC
60346-7-708 1988.
The energy supply must be made through a properly grounded socket. The appliance
must be connected to the power supply by a H05RN-F cable, gotten properly into
dimension in respect to its own length and the kind of the connection.

An over-voltage category III Combined Circuit breaker and Residual Current
Device (RCD) with rated earth leakage operation not exceeding 30mA must
be fitted upstream on the supply line. The circuit breaker must have a contact
opening distance of at least 3mm.

The appliance has a protection rating of IP55, so it can be used outside.

• Keep the indicated distances between the heater and the wall/ceiling (fig. 1-2-3).

• Install the heater in such a way that the lamps stay horizontal.

• A safety distance of not less than 1 meter should always be left in front of the heater.

• The appliance must not be located either directly below, or in front of a socket-

outlet.

• Do not use the heater directly near a bathtub, a shower, a swimming pool.

• Ensure that the power cable cannot come into contact with the reflector of the

appliance and does not intrude into the area of heat output.

• Ensure that there is no possibility of inflammable material, combustible material or

curtains coming into contact with the Heater, or stored near the heater.

All infra red radiation heaters are designed to achieve and maintain a
certain thermal comfort to the people who need it both outside and inside.
It is therefore very important to carefully study the area where people stay and
consequently direct the radiation towards them.
