INSTALLATION

• 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 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 than the maximum of the heater.
• The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.
• The appliance must be positioned on a stable and ample surface (NOT shelves or steps), on a perfectly horizontal plane (otherwise the appliance could tip).
• Make sure the electric cable is positioned correctly and not in contact with hot parts or sharp edges, nor wound around the appliance, twisted or trapped in any way, so the appliance cannot fall. Make sure it cannot be tripped over, to avoid accidental falls or personal injury. Make sure that the cable does not pass under a carpet or under the appliance itself.
• 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. Check that no other high absorption appliances are connected to the same power source.
