shock, and/or injury to persons. Read all instructions carefully
before using the appliance. Specically:

Danger!

Failure to observe the warning may result in life
threatening injury by electric shock.

- Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, after faulty operation, or when it
has been dropped or damaged in any way. Con­tact the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjust­ment, or repair.

- Never position the appliance where it may fall
into a bathtub or come in contact with water. Do
not use the appliance near showers, bathtubs,
sinks, swimming pools, etc.

- Never use this heating appliance in the immedi­ate vicinity of swimming pool.

- If the appliance is located in a room with bath or
shower, respect the “safety distances” shown in
g. 1 and always install away from taps, basins,
showers, etc.

- CAUTION: ALTHOUGH THIS DEVICE IS PROVIDED
WITH PROTECTION WHICH REDUCES THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NEVER
BE USED NEAR WATER.

- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into
the air intake or air outlet grille, as this may
cause electric shock or re, or damage the appli­ance.

- Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the
outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time,
so check the plug periodically for signs of over­heating or deformation. If the outlet has dete­riorated, stop using it and have it repaired.

Important!

Failure to observe the warning could result in injury

or damage to the appliance.

- The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sen­sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience

the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

- Always disconnect the plug from the power out­let when the appliance is not in use.

- Do not use the appliance outdoors.

- Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do
not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the
like. Keep the cord away from any passageways
where it could be tripped over.

- To prevent a possible re, do not block air intake
or air outlet grille in any way. Do not use the ap­pliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the
openings may become blocked.

- Use this appliance only as described in this man­ual. Any other use not indicated by the manu­facturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury
to persons.

- To prevent current overload and blown fuses,
make sure that no other appliance is plugged
into the same outlet or into another outlet wired
into the same circuit.

- If the supply cord is damaged, to reduce the
risk of malfunction it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed
and qualied professional.

- Do not use this appliance with an extension cord
or outlet strip. Connect the appliance directly to
a suitable outlet.

outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time,
so check the plug periodically for signs of over­heating or deformation. If the outlet has dete­riorated, stop using it and have it repaired.

Danger of burns!!

Failure to observe the warning could result in burns
or scalds.

- This appliance gets very hot when in use. To
prevent burns, do not touch hot surfaces with
bare skin. Use the handle when moving the ap­pliance. Keep all ammable materials, such as
furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and
curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front
and top of the appliance also avoid contact with
the sides and back.

- Do not wrap the cord around the appliance im­mediately after use.

- Do not cover the appliance while it is function­ing in order to avoid overheating and the risk of
re.

- The internal parts of the appliance can become
very hot or produce sparks during operation. Do
not use the appliance in areas where gasoline,
paints, or other ammable liquids are used or
stored.

- It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel
warm to the touch. However, an excessively
hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and
may be the result of a defective electrical outlet.
Defective outlets must be replaced before using
the heater. Plugging the heater into a worn out­let may result in overheating of the power cord
or may cause the risk of re.

- Do not use the appliance to dry laundry, and
do not obstruct the air intake and outlet grilles
(danger of overheating).

- Do not operate the appliance in contact with
walls, furniture, curtains, etc.

Please note:

This symbol indicates recommendations and impor­tant information for the user.

- To completely turn o the appliance, turn the
function selector knob to 0, and then unplug the
heater.

- Check that neither the appliance nor the power
cord have been damaged during shipping.

- Make sure that no styrofoam or other packing
materials remain in the appliance.

- The rst time the appliance is used, run it at the

maximum power for at least two hours. Dur­ing this time, ventilate the room thoroughly to
eliminate the “new” smell released by the appli­ance. It is completely normal for the appliance
to emit “creaking” sounds the rst time it is run.

- Do not open the appliance. No user-serviceable
parts inside.

- Before storing the appliance, check it is com­pletely o and the cable is unplugged. At this
point wrap the cord around the base. Do not
store in a dusty room. The room temperature
should be between 32-86°F (0-30°C). Do not
load anything above it.

- Heaters draw more current than small appli­ances, overheating of the outlet may occur even
if it has not occured with the use of other appli­ances.
