IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk

of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. This appliance is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

Use handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pil-

lows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0,9 m) from the front and top

of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

3. Extreme caution is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or invalids

and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

4. Always unplug appliance when not in use.

5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance mal-

functions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to authorized ser-

vice facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

6. Do not use outdoors.

7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor loca-

tions. Never locate appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.

Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

9. To disconnect the appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.

10. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.

11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation opening as this may cause

an electric shock, fire or damage the appliance.

12. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use

on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

13. A fan heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where

gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.

14. Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by

the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the

same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.

16. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which

becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electri-

cal outlet (receptacle). Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use

of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle/ may result in overheating of

the power cord or fire.

17. Do not use an extension cord because the extension cable may overheat and cause a risk of

fire. However, if you have to use an extension cable, the cable shall be no. 14 AWG mini-

mum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying power

18. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Please remember that

receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs

overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and

CALL your electrician.5

19. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way

during transportation.

20. CAUTION: to prevent electric shock match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

21. Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating with the

attendant risk of fire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug.

- This heater includes a thermal Cut-Off Overheat Protection System that shuts the unit off if it

overheats due to abnormal conditions. It this occurs, the Overheat safety light “red” will

turn on. Turn the heater “Off”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or adja-

cent to the heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume normal

- Always use the heater in an upright position.

- Do not use the heater to dry your laundry. Never obstruct the intake and outlet grilles (dan-

ger of overheating).

- The appliance must be installed so that the switches and other controls cannot be reached

from a person standing in a bathtub or a shower.

- The electrical feed cord must be replaced only by officially authorized personnel.

ELECTRIC POWER CONNECTION The fan heater must be connected to a properly polarized A/C 110/120 V household outlet in

- Setting the thermostat:

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly in an anti-

clockwise direction until the pilot light turns off and not beyond it. The thermostat will then adjust

that set temperature automatically and keep it constant.

in the position, then remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

- Additional features: Front Safety Guards- prevent the front grill from touching the floor

when the heater is tipped over forward.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Always remove the plug from the power socket and allow the heater to cool. After the heater has

cooled, clean it with a soft damp cloth, do not use detergents or abrasives. Periodically clean the

air intake and outlet grilles during the period in which the heater is in use with a vacuum cleaner.

Should the heater not be in use over a certain length of time, store it in a dry place.

This appliance has been built to provide many years of trouble free service.

In case of malfunction, do not try to repair the heater yourself: it may result in fire hazard or elec-

tric shock. Call the nearest Service Center (see attached list of Service Centers).

ATTENTION A safety device switches the fan heater off if it accidentally overheats. To reset the unit for normal

operation, remove the plug from the mains socket for a few minutes, eliminate the cause of over-

heating (e.g. air intake or outlet grilles obstructed) and then plug the fan heater back in again.

Contact your nearest Service Center if the fan heater does not begin normal operation again.

The appliance is equipped with a double tip-over-switch for extra safety. This device turns the

appliance off should it fall over or if it is not perfectly stable. To restart the appliance, simply

place it upright again.7
