IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this heater.

2. Never for any reason cover the appliance during operation as this could lead to dangerous overheating.

3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when
moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and cur­tains at least 3 feet (0,9 m) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

4. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the hea­ter is left operating and unattended.

5. Always unplug heater when not in use.

6. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or dama-

ged in any manner. If heater has leaked any oil, discontinue using the heater and contact the service center as indica­ted in this instructions leaflet. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adju­stment, or repair.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate
heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

9. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord

away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

10.To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.

11.Connect to properly polarized outlets only.

12.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an elec­tric shock, fire, or damage the heater.

13.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like
a bed, where openings may become blocked.

14.A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flam-

mable liquids are used or stored.

15.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

16.To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet (recep­tacle) or into anolher outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.

17.It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch
or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be
replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet /receptacle/ may result in overhea­ting of the power cord or fire.

18.Do not use an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension

cord, the cord shall be properly grounded No. 1 4 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be
used only for supplying power to this heater.

19.Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle in order to prevent any danger of overheating or
arcing. Please remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs of
overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.

20.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way during transportation.

21.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between one element of
the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.

22.When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to get
rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated
during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on for
the first time.
