when they are occupied by person not capable of leaving the
room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
• Do not pull on the power cord or the appliance to unplug the
appliance from the electric socket.
• If the electric cord is damaged, it has to be replaced by the supplier
or an authorized service center or a professionally qualified, to avoid
any risks.
• The appliance must not be positioned immediately under a socket.
• The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be
removed quickly in case of emergency.
• Do not use the appliance with a timer or a programmer or with a
system that can switch on the appliance automatically, to avoid risk
of fire, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned
incorrectly.
• Do not use the heater in places where it could be subject to shocks
in the immediate vicinity of a bathtub, shower or swimming pool to
avoid drops of water falling on the heater or the heater falling in the
water: If the appliance should accidentally get wet or be submerged
in water, remove the plug from the supply socket immediately and
dry the unit carefully. Check that no liquid has gone inside and if in
doubt, contact professionally qualified personnel.
INSTALLATION
• After removing the packing materials, check the integrity of the appliance; if you are unsure, do
not use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out the reach of children because they are potential sources of
danger; but dispose of them in accordance with current law.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of
your electricity and that the electric plug is grounded. In the event of incompatibility between
the electric outlet and the plug of the appliance, have the outlet replaced with another more
suitable type by professionally qualified personnel, who will make sure that the section of the
wires of the outlet is appropriate for the absorbed power of the appliance. In general, the use of
adapters or extension cords is not recommended; if their use is indispensable, they must conform
to existing safety standards and their current capacity (amperes) must not be less that the
maximum of the appliance.
