Taurus CHTA500 Mode D'emploi page 9

- The appliance has a safety device, which pro-
tects the appliance from overheating.
- When the appliance switches itself on and
off repeatedly, for reasons other than the
thermostat control, check to ensure that there
are no obstacles that impede correct air entry
or expulsion.
- If the appliance turns itself off and does not
switch itself on again, disconnect it from the
mains supply, and wait for approximately 15
minutes before reconnecting. If the machine
does not start again seek authorised technical
assistance.
CLEANING
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning
task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products,
for cleaning the appliance.
- Do not let water or any other liquid get into the
air vents to avoid damage to the inner parts of
the appliance.
- Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or place it under running water.
- If the appliance is not in good condition of
cleanliness, its surface may degrade and
inexorably affect the duration of the appliance's
useful life and could become unsafe to use.
- Remark: When the appliance is used as a hea-
ter after long periods in storage or after having
been used solely as a fan a small amount of
smoke may be produced. This is not important
and is due to the heater burning dust de-
posits which have accumulated on the heating
element. This phenomenon may be avoided by
cleaning the inside of the appliance before-
hand through the grill with a vacuum cleaner or
pressurised air.
