electric outlet and the plug of the heater, 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 heater (10A). 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
heater.
Attention: before use the appliance remove the detachable coupon to stick the handle.
•Before each use, verify that the heater is in good condition and that the electrical cord is not
damaged: in the case of doubt, ask for professionally qualified help.
•Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and that it is not in contact with hot parts or sharp
edges, nor wrapped around the device or twisted.
•The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.
•Position the fan heater far from other sources of heat, inflammable materials (curtains, carpets,
etc.), inflammable gases or explosive materials (spray cans) and from materials that can deform on
exposure to heat. Make sure that there is 100 cm of free space in front of the fan heater and 30 cm
on the sides. Do not use the heater 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), or in places
where it could be subject to shocks.
•Make sure that the fan heater is working correctly: if not, turn the heater off and have it checked by
professionally qualified personnel.
•Make sure that the air-intake grid is not obstructed by objects, fabrics or anything else to avoid the
heater overheating or breaking.
•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.
•In the case of a breakdown or fault, switch off the appliance and have it checked by a
professionally qualified technician; repairs made by unqualified persons can be dangerous and
render void the warranty.
Wall installation
With wall installation, the wall to which the appliance is secured must be made of masonry and/or of
heat-resistant material (not wood, or synthetic material which can easily overheat); also, follow these
indications for the installation:
1) At a distance of at least 50 cm. from the floor.
2) At a distance of at least 60cm from baths, sinks and/or tanks (see fig.1)
3) At a distance of at least 20 cm from the corners of walls
4) At a distance of at least 100 cm from flammable materials (curtains, fabrics, etc.)
5) Not beneath socket outlets
-Mark the exact position of the hole in the centre of the braket on the wall; drill the wall and fix with
a screw to secure the bracket
-Hang the fan heater on the wall by inserting the bracket into its seat at the rear (see the way round
fig.2), by sliding the protrusion (fig.3) into its slot.
-If fixed in a bathroom shall state that the heater is
to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or
shower.

“0” = off “ ” = fan
“I” = air warm (1000W) “I I” = air very hot (2000W)

Anti-frost device
Insert the plug into the power socket, turn the selector knob in pos. “I I” and turn the thermostat knob
to the anti-frost position (*): this permits convector heater switching on when the ambient temperature
falls below +5°C.
Ionising function: this produces a flow of negative ions which neutralise the positive ions in the air;
the ionising function is less evident in environments with high levels of humidity. This function is
active every time the appliance is switched on.
Never leave the appliance connected to the socket if it is not in use, especially for long periods.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention: before cleaning the fan heater, turn it off, remove the plug from the outlet and wait for it
to cool.
•Periodically check that the air-intake grill is not obstructed by fuzz or threads.
•Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the body; do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive
products.
•To clean and maintain of the grid, it is possible vacuum cleaner paying attention not to damage the
electrical resistance.
•A special tool is required to replace the electrical cord: contact an authorized service center, also
for any repairs.
•When the appliance is not being used, cover it and put it in a dry place. it is a good idea to put it
back in its original packaging to protect it from dust and humidity.
•If you decide not to use the fan heater, we recommend that you make it inoperative by cutting the
power cord (but first make sure you have removed the plug from the electrical outlet), and make
those parts harmless that are dangerous when played with by children.
•Do not dispose of non-biodegradable products in the environment but dispose of them in
accordance with current law. At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as
urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to
a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and
enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and
resources. Bear in mind that: the body, the electrical wires are copper coated in rubber. – The
electric motor is made of iron and copper. The electrical resistance is made of iron.
