• Do not pull on the power cord or the appliance itself to unplug the appliance from the plug point.

• Do not pull on the power cord to move the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance if it does not work properly or if it appears damaged; when in doubt, contact a qualified technician.

• Ensure the heating element is free of dust, lint, or any similar material: this improves the fan heater's performance, and prevents overheating. Periodically check that the aspiration grille does not become obstructed by objects, fabrics or other materials to prevent overheating or breaking the appliance.

The secondary elements of the packaging with low weight (es: packing tape) are unmarked as are its small size packing materials, the protective film of surfaces: therefore you have to follow the procedures for the disposal in force in your municipality.

• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage on the data plate matches that of the electric system. In the event of incompatibility between the plug point and the appliance's plug, have the plug replaced with a suitable model by a qualified professional, who should ensure that the cord is suitable for the power rating of the appliance (10A). Check that other appliances with high absorption are not connected to the power line to avoid overloading and fire hazards. The use of adaptors or extensions is generally not advisable; if it is necessary to use them, they must comply with safety regulations and the total current (amps) must not be rated lower than the maximum current of the appliance.

-Selector. By turning the relative knob, you can select these functions:

= off, only ventilation. = hot air (1400W). = very hot air (2000W), (see a ref. picture on the side).

To activate oscillation (right- left) turn the knob to the position corresponding to the desired power setting and symbol “ ” (see a ref. picture on the side).

-Room thermostat. 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 (pos.”-“), when turned completely clockwise it is set on the maximum temperature (pos.”+“), in intermediate positions the surrounding temperature is lower. - Indicator light: comes on according to the thermostat’s operation. It is on when the appliance is running. -Equipped with a safety device, which turns off the appliance in the event of overheating. To start it again, remove the plug from the mains and allow it to cool (approximately 10/20 minutes). Thereafter, plug it back in and turn it on once again. - Anti-tipping switch which allows the heating fan to function only when it is positioned correctly (when it is put in place, you will hear a “click”) but it stops the appliance if it tips. First use: run the appliance to eliminate the "new smell" and any oil residue from the manufacturing process for at least 10/15 minutes, pos. and “+”. During this operation, ventilate the room well to eliminate the "new smell" that is given off by the appliance.

To use the heating fan, follow these steps:

1. Insert the plug in the power socket.

2. Turn the thermostat knob to the temperature required.

3. Switch on the appliance by turning the selector knob to the position of the required function.

4. The light turns on and turns off when the appliance reaches the requested temperature; if the

thermostat is set at the maximum level, the appliance works continuously.

5. 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. If the appliance is not being used for long periods of time, remove the plug from the plug point.14
