by or comes into contact with ammable material including curtains,
drapery, blankets, etc. KEEP THE CONVECTOR AWAY FROM THESE
MATERIALS.
• Do not insert and avoid accidental insertion of any external objects into
the ventilation or discharge outlets as this may lead to electric shock,
re or damage the convector.
• A convector contains parts that generate arcs or sparks. It must not
be used in potentially dangerous areas such as areas at risk of re or
explosion, or areas loaded with chemical substances or humidity.
• Do not use the convector on soft surfaces such as beds, where the
grilles may be covered. Always stand the convector on a at, stable
surface when in operation, in order to prevent it from overturning.
• Arrange the cord in such a way that the convector and other objects do
not rest on it. Do not run the cord under carpets. Do not cover the cord

INFORMATION ON THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT pursuant to Art. 26 of (Italian)
Legislative Decree no. 49 of 14/03/14, “IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU ON WASTE
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT”
At the end of its useful life, this appliance must not be disposed of together with household waste. We call
your attention to the crucial role played by the consumer in the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery
of such waste. The dismantled appliance, with its components collected separately, must be delivered to
the local waste disposal facility or returned to the dealer free of charge when purchasing a new equivalent
appliance. Sorted disposal of electric and electronic equipment prevents potentially negative consequences
on the environment and human health due to improper waste disposal, and also allows the constituent
materials to be recovered and recycled, with signicant savings in terms of energy and resources. In order
to highlight the obligation regarding separate disposal of these devices, the appliance carries the crossed-
out wheeled bin symbol.
