General safety instructions

1. Before using the machine, carefully read this entire instruction manual. Keep this booklet
in a safe place for reference.
2. Before using your new heater, check it, including cord and plug, for any visible damage.
Do not use a damaged heater, but send it back to your dealer for replacement.
3. Do not use the heater until it is been fully installed in accordance with the instructions
under the heading 'Description, Composition and Installation'.
4. This heater is strictly intended for normal domestic use. Only use it for the additional
heating of your home.
5. This heater in not suitable for use in wet or damp spaces such as bathrooms and laundry
rooms. Do not place the heater in the vicinity of taps, bathtub, shower, pool, fountains or
other sources of moisture. Make sure it cannot fall into water and prevent water from
getting into the heater itself. If, at any time, the heater does fall into water, unplug it
immediately! Do not use a heater that has a damp interior but have it repaired. Never
immerse the heater, cord or plug in water and never touch it with wet hands. Do not place
the appliance in an open window to avoid rain or on wet surfaces and avoid that no
moisture spillage.
6. The supply voltage and utility frequency, specified on the machine, need to match those
of the socket that is used. The socket used needs to be earthed and the electrical
installation needs to be secured with a ground-fault circuit interrupter (max. 30 mAmp).
7. Fully extend the cord before plugging in the heater. Make sure it does not come into
contact with any part of the heater and prevent it from heating up any other way. Do not
run the cord underneath carpeting; do not cover it with mats, carpet strips, or similar and
make sure it is not placed in any passageways. Make sure the cord cannot be stepped on
and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Do not lead the cord around sharp corners and
do not roll it up too tightly after use! Do not rotate or kink
8. If possible, do not use an extension cord, as this poses the risk of overheating and fire. If
the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, then make sure it is an undamaged,
approved extension cord with a minimum diameter of 3 x 1.5 mm² and a minimum
permissible power of 2000 Watt. To prevent overheating, always fully extend the cord!
9. To prevent the circuit being overloaded and fuses blowing, make sure no other appliances
are connected to the same socket or wired to the same electrical circuit as the heater.
10. Do not use the heater outdoors and do not use it in spaces, smaller than 15 m³.
11. A heater contains hot and/or glowing and sparking components. Do not, therefore, use it
in areas where fuels, paint, flammable liquids and/or gasses etc. are stored.
12. Do not place the heater near, under, or directly opposite a socket and do not place it near
an open fire or other heat source.
13. Do not use the heater near or directly opposite furniture, animals, curtains, paper, clothes,
bedding or other inflammable objects. Keep them at least 1 metre away from the heater!
14. Never cover a heater! The heater's air inlets and outlets should never be obstructed in
any way, so as to prevent the possibility of fire. Never use the heater to dry clothes and do
not place anything on top of the heater. Do not place it on soft surfaces such as beds or
deep-pile carpets as they can block openings.
15. Make sure that the air around the heater can circulate freely. Do not place the heater too
close to walls or large objects and do not place it under shelves, cupboards or similar.
16. Prevent foreign objects from entering the heater via the venting or exhaust openings as
this may lead to electric shock, fire or damage.
17. Never leave the heater unattended when switched on. Always switch the heater off before
removing the plug from the socket. Always unplug the heater when not in use! Pull on the
plug to remove from the socket, never pull on the cord.
