Any other use is to be considered inappropriate and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for eventual damage caused by inappropriate, improper or irresponsible use and/or for repairs made to the product by unauthorised personnel.
• This stove is a radiant appliance the elements of which are visibly incandescent and exceed a temperature of 650^ C; the appliance gets hot when working; so only touch the pull-chain switch to select power. Avoid contact with the radiant part. Also warn persons near the heater about this.

INSTALLATION

• After removing the packing materials, check the integrity of the appliance; if you are unsure, do not use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out the reach of children because they are potential sources of danger; but dispose of them in accordance with current law.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of your electricity (230V\~ 50Hz), and that the electric plug is grounded. 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.
• The appliance must not be positioned immediately under a socket.
• The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.

Wall installation

With wall installation, the wall to which the appliance is secured must be made of masonry and/or of heat-resistant material (not wood, or synthetic material which can easily overheat); also, follow these indications for the installation:

1) so it is horizontal, to avoid it overheating or damaging the heating elements
2) far from other sources of heat, inflammable materials (curtains, carpets, etc.), inflammable gases or explosive materials (spray cans) and from materials that can deform on exposure to heat
3) at the minimum distances from walls (always so long as they are masonry or brick) indicated in figure n.2; these distances must be increased at least 3 times for other materials, but it is a good idea to use a professionally qualified installer; the heater must be installed at least 1,8m above the floor.

4) not below electrical outlets.

- Attach the heater to the wall using the screws provided, use the holes of the control box (see fig.2).

• Make sure that the electric cord is correctly positioned, inset the electric cord through the guide (right or left) not touching hot or sharp surfaces and not wrapped around the appliance or twisted.
- To orient the infrared radiant element and heat in the most convenient way, adjust the inclination of the heating part (angle = 45° max).
- Do not use the appliance with a timer or a programmer or with a system that can switch on the appliance automatically, to avoid risk of fire, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
- All repairs should be made by a competent qualified electrician. In any case you should return the appliance to this service.

USE

The heater has a "pull switch" to select the heater's power with a display that shows the selection: 0 = off, 1 = 600W, 2 = 1200W and 3 = 1800W. The selection changes each time you pull the cord. To turn the heater off, pull the cord of the "pull switch" until you see "0" on the display and plug out from the current socket.

Never leave the appliance connected to the socket if it is not in use, especially for long periods.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Attention: before cleaning the appliance, switch it off, remove the plug from the current socket and leave it until getting cool.

• Protect the radiant part from dust to preserve its reflectivity.
  • To clean the base, use a slightly damp, soft cloth; do not use scouring pads or abrasive products.
• To clean the radiant part, use a slightly damp, soft cloth; do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive products, water or other liquids; do not immerse in water or other liquids.
• A special tool is required to replace the electrical cord and quartz heater (230V 600W): contact an authorized service center, also for any repairs.
• If 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.
• Do not dispose of non-biodegradable products in the environment but dispose of them in accordance with current law. At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to stockists who supply this service on purchasing a new appliance. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health

deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.
