voltage in your home.

3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the fan heater and cause
injury to the user.

4. The fan heater is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the
warranty and the supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage
caused when using the fan heater for any other purpose than that intended.

5. Avoid any contact with moving parts.

6. This fan heater is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

7. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the heater.

8. Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug
is damaged, the manufacturer or a qualified person must replace it in order to
avoid an electrical hazard.

9. Do not use the fan heater if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In case
of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised service
agent

is necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the power
consumption of the fan heater to avoid overheating of the extension cord,
appliance or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it can
be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over.

anything other than its intended use.
