Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating instructions and
safety information with due care. Keep these
operating instructions in a safe place so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, hand over these
operating instructions and the safety information as
well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or
accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these
instructions and the safety information.
NOTE! The equipment has a topple cut-out. If the
equipment is tilted beyond a certain angle, it will
be deactivated automatically and only restarted
after it has been returned to its upright position.
1. Safety information
n Check that the equipment has been delivered in
perfect condition. If it has suffered any damage,
do not connect the equipment to the power
supply.
n Check the equipment, particularly the mains
cable, for signs of damage every time before use.
n Position the power cable so that there is no
danger of tripping over it.
n Do not pass the power cable over hot parts of the
equipment during operation.
n Never use the power cable to pull the power plug
out of the socket-outlet! Never use the power
cable to carry the equipment or try to move the
equipment by pulling the power cable.
n Never wind the power cable around the fan
heater.
n Never jam the power cable between objects or
pull the cable over sharp edges or position the
cable over hot plates or open flames.
n Never open the equipment or touch live parts –
danger of fatal accident!
n Never immerse the equipment in water – danger
of fatal accident!
n Do not place the equipment near wet rooms or
wet areas (bathroom, shower room, swimming
pool, etc.). It must not be possible for the control
elements to be touched by a person in a shower,
a vessel filled with liquid or the bathtub.
n Never use the equipment with wet hands.
n Position the equipment in such a way that the
power plug is accessible at all times.
n If the equipment is not used for a lengthy period
of time, disconnect it from the power supply.
n Do not position the equipment directly below a
socket.
n If the equipment is used for a lengthy time, the
housing can become very hot. Position the
equipment in such a way as to prevent accidental
touching.
n Do not use the equipment in rooms in which
inflammable materials (for example solvents, etc.)
or gases are used or stored.
n Keep highly inflammable substances and gases
away from the equipment.
n Do not use in areas where there is a fire risk (for
example wooden sheds).
n Only use the heater with its power lead fully
extended.
n Not suitable for installation with permanently
installed electrical cables.
n Do not use the equipment for animal husbandry
or livestock breeding.
n Do not insert any foreign objects in the
equipment’s openings – danger of electric shock
and damage to the equipment.
n Keep children and people on medication or under
the influence of alcohol away from the equipment.
n Maintenance and repair work may only be carried
out by authorized trained personnel.
n Do not use this heater with a program switch, a
timer or any other type of device which switches
on the heater automatically since there is a risk of
fire if the heater is covered or installed incorrectly.
n When installing the equipment in a bathroom, be
sure to observe the safety clearances stipulated
in your country. It must be impossible for the
control elements to be touched by a person in a
shower, in a vessel filled with liquid or in a
bathtub. In Germany the appliance is not allowed
to be mounted within protection zone 0, 1 or 2 (in
order to comply with VDE 0100 Part 701). Please
refer to the regulations in your country (fig. 9).
n Connect the device to an earthed socket outlet
outside the protection zone only.
n For electrical safety purposes we recommend
that you install a residual current device circuit-
breaker (RCD).
n WARNING: This equipment is not equipped with a
device for controlling the room temperature.
Unless continuous supervision is provided, the
heater may not be used in small rooms which are
inhabited by persons who are unable to leave the
room on their own.
n Do not move or transport the heater while it is
running or in a hot state. Switch off the heater,
disconnect it from the power supply and allow it to
cool down.
