• After removing the packing materials, check the integrity of the heater; 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.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of your electricity (220-240V\~ 50Hz) and that the electric plug is grounded. In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the plug of the heater, 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 heater (10A). Check that the mains are not connected equipment; high absorption to prevent overloading and fire risks. 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 heater.
  Attention: before use the appliance remove the detachable coupon to stick the handle.
• Before each use, verify that the heater is in good condition and that the electrical cord is not damaged: in the case of doubt, ask for professionally qualified help.
• Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and that it is not in contact with hot parts or sharp edges, nor wrapped around the device or twisted.

• Position the fan heater 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. Make sure that there is 100 cm of free space in front of the fan heater and 30 cm on the sides.

OPERATION

The heating fan can be adjusted using the following:

-Selector (2). By turning the relative knob clockwise, you can select these functions:

0= off, only ventilation, I= hot air (750W) II= very hot air (1500 W).

-Room thermostat (1). It adjusts the appliance's functions according to the temperature, continuously until reaching the set temperature, then at intervals to keep it constant. By turning the relative knob completely anti-clockwise the heating fan remains off, when turned completely clockwise it is set on the maximum temperature, in intermediate positions the surrounding temperature is lower.

The base has an anti-tipping device which allows functions when the heating fan is positioned correctly (when placed on a flat surface, you will hear "click") but interrupts when the appliance is tilted: it restarts functions as soon as the appliance is positioned correctly.

To use the heating fan:

1. Check that the switch is in pos. 0 (off), then insert the plug in the power socket.
2. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the temperature required.
3. Switch on the appliance by turning the selector knob to the position of the required function.
4. To switch off the appliance, switch off the resistance completely, let only the fan run for about 3

minutes (pos.) to cool the resistance (this way it will last longer), then switch off the fan by turning the knob to "0" (off). Then always remove the plug from the power 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 fan heater, turn it off, remove the plug from the outlet and wait for it to cool.

• Periodically check that the air-intake grill is not obstructed by fuzz or threads.
- Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the body; do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive products.
- To clean and maintain of the grid, it is possible vacuum cleaner paying attention not to damage the electrical resistance.
- When the appliance is not being used, cover it and put it in a dry place. it is a good idea to put it back in its original packaging to protect it from dust and humidity.
