2. IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE PRODUCT

In order to minimise the risk factors associated with product installation and use, please read the following instructions carefully and observe them with the utmost diligence:

• The product is designed for household use by consumers. Compliance with the declared performance and safety requirement is not guaranteed in case of intense professional use.
• The product is not designed for operation in open industrial environments, large commercial areas, large public or community areas, basements, garages, garrets, pergolas, porches or other locations where it may be exposed to the elements.
• The product is not designed for outdoor use; if used outdoors, compliance with the safety requirement is not guaranteed and the user's safety may be at risk.
• The product must not be used by children unless they are provided with comprehensive information regarding its use and it is ascertained that said information has been properly understood.
• The product must not be made available to children even after it has been decommissioned insofar as it contains certain parts that may cause injury if used improperly.
  • The product must not be used by persons with motor or cognitive impairments unless they are properly supervised.
• Do not use the product in the presence of sources or accumulations of liquids: ensure a safe distance from containers, tanks, taps, piping, dehumidifiers, expansion or storage tanks, gutters, downpipes, filling and drain pipes, etc.
• The product must not be used if deformities, colour changes (even partial), openings in the housings, cracks, excessive heating, the emission of smoke, vapours, bad smells, intense or unusual noises are observed; in this case, discontinue use immediately and contact qualified technical personnel.
• Before installation, check that the rated voltage indicated on the rating plate attached to the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage.
• Before assembly, check that the power cord is disconnected from the mains. Never start or operate the appliance in any way until assembly and installation are complete.
• The appliance must not be installed near windows or openings where it may be exposed to the elements, nor in the vicinity of curtains, ornamental plants or other bodies that could collide with moving parts.
• The product must be placed on a horizontal, flat and stable surface, sheltered against impact, accidental or otherwise, with objects of any kind.
• The product must not be placed in the path of opening doors or windows, shutters, blinds, louvres, movable partitions or the like.
• Do not move the product while it is running.
• Do not use the product after a fall: have it checked by qualified technical personnel.
• Do not place any objects in the fan oscillation area during operation: such conduct constitutes a serious risk of injury. For the same reasons, avoid stopping fan oscillation in any way during operation; carefully and constantly check that such circumstances cannot occur accidentally.

• Do not cover the fan in any way. Do not use the grille to cover fabrics, clothes or other damp objects. Periodically check that no objects can in any way obstruct fan air circulation.

• Do not insert any objects into the grille and make sure that this cannot happen during the entire period of operation: in addition to constituting a danger of injury to surrounding persons, doing so seriously compromises the reliability of the product, causing almost certain breakdowns.

• Before cleaning, check that the appliance has been switched off for at least 15 minutes and that the power cord has been disconnected.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the product and avoid any abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents; wait for the product to fully dry before operating it again.
• Do not install or use the appliance under direct sunlight or within the range of other ventilation devices, in environments that are particularly humid and/or saturated with gas, vapours or other suspended substances, in the vicinity of open flames and/or flammable, combustible or explosive substances.
• Do not use in the vicinity of open flames, such as burners, fireplaces, pellet stoves, gas cookers and the like, especially if extinguishing such flames would result in gas leakage.
• Do not use the product to extinguish flames.
• Ensure the appliance is connected to a compliant, state-of-the-art installation fitted with a residual current device and thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
• Do not connect the appliance to devices that may cause it to start unsupervised, such as timers, remote controls or automatisms.
• Once unpacked, do not leave the relative materials unsupervised, in particular the plastic bags, as these may be a source of danger for children or persons with motor and cognitive impairments.
• There is no reason to disassemble the appliance, even after its decommissioning. At the end of its service life, it must be sent for recycling according to the legal requirements in force and described in detail in the next chapter.
• Do not modify the appliance for any reason whatsoever: no improvements in performance can be gained by tampering with its parts. Any modifications shall invalidate the legal guarantee and compliance with the safety requirement, with foreseeable risks for the user.
• Do not remove or tamper with the safety devices fitted to the product.
• Do not disconnect the product from the mains by pulling on the cord; rather, firmly grasp and extract the plug with a quick and decisive movement.
• Never submerge any part of the appliance in water or other liquids: do not spray any substances in the vicinity of the appliance or directly thereon, especially if operating.
• Slight smoking or a burning smell during the initial moments of the first start-up is normal and does not constitute a defect: this emission should cease after a few minutes of operation.
• Periodically check the wear of the various parts of the appliance. If damage or defects are found, do not use it and contact qualified personnel. Pay particular attention to the wear of the power cord.
• In anticipation of long periods of non-use of the appliance, it should be disconnected from the mains and not simply switched off by means of the relative control.
• Wait until the blade has exhausted its rotation due to inertia before restarting the appliance following a stop.
• During use, it is not advisable to stand close to the appliance for a long time, especially in the direction of the flow: this circumstance impacts user health and well-being at a multi-system level.
• Use the appliance only for the intended purposes as illustrated in this instruction manual.

4. ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING

The appliance is supplied with the motor and keypad already installed on the rear shield (8). Therefore, only the blade, front shield and base need to be installed.

K) Insert the blade (2) in the motor shaft (4), aligning the hole with the screw with the flat part of the shaft.

L) Fully tighten the blade screw on the shaft.

M) Place the front shield (1) on the rear shield (8), aligning the holes of the securing screw found at the bottom end of the perimeter.

N) Insert the securing screw (5) in the hole and fully tighten it with the relative nut.

O) Secure the base by matching the ends with the holes on the side of the shield (1), making sure the horizontal part is facing the back of the appliance.

P) Insert and fully tighten the side screws of the base.

Q) Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface, then connect the plug to a socket with the proper voltage.

R) Start the appliance at medium speed by pressing the dark grey key on the keypad.

S) Run for a few minutes to check that it is in proper working order.

T) Turn the appliance off by pressing the white button on the keypad.

5. USE

The rear selector switch behind the shield activates blade rotation and therefore ventilation, the speed of which depends on the start button pressed:

• Black button: maximum speed
• Dark grey button: medium speed
• Light grey button: minimum speed
• White button: stop rotation

The flow angle can be directed vertically by gently guiding the grille in the desired direction: if the base screws are properly tightened, the grille can be easily adjusted and will automatically hold the selected position. Avoid using excessive force to adjust the grille to prevent the appliance from tipping over; for the same reason, do not push the grille beyond the mechanical limit allowed by the base. The grille should be adjusted with rotation stopped.

6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The product does not require any maintenance. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. It is imperative to disconnect the blade from the mains before cleaning. Do not use compressed air to clean the blade, and in any case never try to help the blade rotate other than normal use of the appliance. A long, soft bristle brush can be used to remove any dust deposits. Wait until it is completely dry before reconnecting the appliance to the mains.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event that the appliance exhibits abnormal operating conditions other than that stated in Chapter 2 above, it is advisable to consult the following table for simple troubleshooting.

Problem	Possible cause	Probable solution
The fan does not start.	The electrical plug is disconnected from the mains.	Plug the electrical plug into a normal 10 A household socket.
	The electrical socket to which the fan is connected does not supply electricity.	Check the efficiency of the socket by connecting another appliance that is definitely working. If necessary, contact an electrician.
Fan is particularly noisy.	Parts are not fully assembled.	Review the assembly process, tightening screws and bolts more fully.

If the product shows malfunctions or anomalies other than those indicated, it is highly probable that the problem cannot be solved independently. In this case, consult qualified technical personnel.
