carried out by an authorised specialist company!
Warning of electrical voltage
Before any work on the device, remove the mains plug
from the mains socket!
Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable
out of the mains socket.
Warning of hot surface
Parts of this appliance can become very hot and cause

Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is
activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the
operating temperature).
Once the safety thermostat has switched itself on, the heating
will be turned off. The fan keeps running. When the device has
cooled down sufficiently, the heating will be switched back on.
Investigate the cause of overheating.
If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of
overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that
case the device switches off completely. If so, please contact
the customer service to have the overheating protection
replaced.
Tilt protection
The device is equipped with a tilt protection switch(8). The tilt
protection is a safety device intended to minimize the risk of fire
in case the device is tipped over inadvertently. The device will
be switched off when knocked over (or if its upright position is
changed in any other manner).
The tilt protection switch is located at the bottom of the device.
Warning
The device is not a toy and does not belong in the
hands of children.
Warning
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may
use it as a dangerous toy.
Warning
Improper installation entails a risk of fire.
Do not place the device on combustible ground.
Do not place the device on high-pile carpets.
Do not use the device without the feet attached.
Warning
In order to avoid overheating and fire hazards, the
heater must not be covered.
Behaviour in the event of an emergency
1. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains
feed-in: Switch the device off and disconnect the power
cable from the mains socket. Hold onto the mains plug
while doing so.
2. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.
It is impossible to use the device unless the tilt protection
switch(8) was pushed entirely into the device. This occurs
automatically when placing the device on suitable ground.
The tilt protection switches the device off when it is inclined by
a few degrees out of its vertical position. The tilt protection is
also tripped when lifting the device a little, e.g. for transport
during operation. The device can again be used as usual only a
few seconds after placing it back in vertical position and on
solid ground.
