Workplace

Important:

Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched.

• The appliance must not be used near showers, bathtubs, sinks or swimming pools.
• The adjusting knobs should never be accessible to persons who are in the shower or bathtub to prevent any touching with wet hands.

Operation

• Extract the foot placed on the back of the appliance as shown in picture 8. Just pull it until you hear a "click" and check that the foot is firmly locked in its extracted position.

• The switch is used to control heater's functioning selecting the off condition, cold air ventilation, warm air (1000W) or hot air (1800W).

• The heater is also equipped with an alarm light (picture 10) that switches on in case of overheating/ malfunctioning. It is not a power control light and, consequently, it will not switch on during normal functioning.

• Do not put anything on the heater to avoid any overheating/malfunctioning.

Thermostat

• In a room with a temperature exceeding 30^ , the thermostat does not turn on the fan heater even if it is at maximum.
• Vice-versa, in a room with a very low temperature (below 5^ ), it is normal that the thermostat keeps the heater constantly on, even if it is at minimum.
  To optimise the use of the thermostat, proceed as follows:

o turn the thermostat knob to maximum and wait until a comfortable temperature is reached.
o then turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until you hear a "click" and the heater turns off.
o turn the thermostat knob clockwise just a little.
o in this position, the thermostat will maintain the selected ambient temperature.

Troubleshooting

• In the event of overheating, the safety device on the appliance automatically disabled the heating elements and motor. As a result, the heater stops working. In this case:

o Turn off the fan heater and allow it to cool down for about 15 minutes.
o Eliminate any other possible reasons for overheating (e.g.: obstructions in front of the air inlet/outlet grilles, build-ups of dirt).
o Turn on the fan heater again and check it works correctly.

Maintenance

This product does not require any special maintenance.
