In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the plug of the appliance, have the outlet replaced with another more suitable type by professionally qualified personnel, who will make sure that the section of the wires of the outlet is appropriate for the absorbed power of the appliance. In general, the use of adapters or extension cords is not recommended; if their use is indispensable, they must conform to existing safety

standards and their current capacity (amperes) must not be less that the maximum of the appliance.

Carefully dry the appliance and make sure that all the electrical parts are dry: in the case of doubt, ask for professionally qualified help.
• Periodically check that the air-intake grill is not obstructed by fuzz or threads. If the filter is dirty, unhook the rear grid and clean the net with a brush or water, taking care not to damage it; then dry it perfectly and replace it in its seat. Reassemble the grill.
• It is essential that the motor's air holes be kept from dust and lint.
• Periodically check the electric cord for damage; its replacement requires a special tool: contact an authorized service center, also for any repairs.
• If the fan will not be used for long periods, it must be protected from dust and humidity; we recommend storing it in its original packaging.
• Should you decide not to use the appliance any more, we recommend making it inoperative by cutting the power cord (after making sure you have disconnected the plug from the socket) and make dangerous parts harmless if children are allowed to play with them.
