• Do not place the cable under a carpet.
• Mind that during function the cordset must be always completely pulled out.

Use of the heater

• Due to the oscillation (turning) a more equal temperature in the surrounding is achieved.
  · Never block the oscillation movement.

Use of the thermostat

• In a room where the temperature is too high (more than 30°C), it is normal that the thermostat will not switch on the heater.
• In a room where the temperature is too low (around 5°C or even less) it is also normal that the thermostat will keep the appliance working until the temperature gets higher.
  · To select the right thermostat position we suggest you to

· turn the thermostat in maximum position (clockwise);

• leave the appliance working until the comfortable temperature is reached;
• turn the knob anti clockwise until you hear a „click“ and the red indication light turns off;
• turn clockwise again the knob (just a little): in this position the thermostat will maintain the comfortable temperature you have selected. The red indication light shines if the heater turns on again.

- If the appliance is used for the first time there can be a little smoke due to some production oil residues.
