SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic pr ecautions should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
2. This appliance gets very hot when in use. To prevent burns, do not touch hot sur-
faces with bare skin. Use the handle when moving the appliance. Keep all flam-
mable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and cur-
tains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front and top of the appliance also avoid
contact with the sides and back.
3. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet when the appliance is not in
use.
5. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after faulty opera-
tion, or when it has been dropped or damaged in any way. Contact the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment,
or repair.
6. Do not use the appliance outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar indoor
locations. Never position the appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or come
in contact with water.
8. Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners, or the like. Keep the cord away from any passageways where it could be
tripped over.
9. To disconnect the appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
10.Do not wrap the cord around the appliance immediately after use.
11.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into the air intake or air outlet grille,
as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the appliance.
12.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or air outlet grille in any way.
Do not use the appliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the openings may
become blocked.
13.Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating
and the risk of fire.
14.The internal parts of the appliance can become very hot or produce sparks during
operation. Do not use the appliance in areas where gasoline, paints, or other
flammable liquids are used or stored.
15.Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not indicated
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
16.To prevent current overload and blown fuses, make sure that no other appliance is
plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.
17.It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. However, an
excessively hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and may be the result of a
defective electrical outlet. Defective outlets must be replaced before using the hea-
ter. Plugging the heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power
cord or may cause the risk of fire.
18.If the supply cord is damaged, to reduce the risk of malfunction it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed and qualified professional.
19.Always plug the heater directly to a wall outlet. Never use with an extension cord

or relocable power tap.
20.Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Wall outlets may deteriora-
te with time, so check the plug periodically for signs of overheating or deforma-
tion. If the outlet has deteriorated, stop using it and have it repaired.
21.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cord have been damaged during
shipping.
22.Make sure that no styrofoam or other packing materials remain in the appliance.
23.The first time the appliance is used, run it at the maximum power for at least two
hours. During this time, ventilate the room thoroughly to eliminate the “new” smell
released by the appliance. It is completely normal for the appliance to emit
“creaking” sounds the first time it is run.
24.During use check frequently to determinate if your plug outlet or faceplate is hot.
25.CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, make sure the wide prong of the plug is
inserted in the wide slot of the outlet.
26.CAU
TION: Risk of fire. Do not open. No user serviceable parts inside.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug hav-
ing one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
CAUTION
- Always use the heater in an upright position.
- Do not use the heater to dry your laundry. Never obstruct the intake and outlet grilles
(danger of overheating).
- The appliance must be installed so that the switches and other controls cannot be
reached from a person standing in a bathtub or a shower.
- The electrical cord must be replaced only by authorized personnel.
ELECTRIC POWER CONNECTION
The fan heater must be connected to a properly polarized A/C 110/120 V household out-
let in perfect working condition.
Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall out-
let where the heater is plugged in.
REQUIRED TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLY AND ESTIMATED ASSEMBLY TIME
Required Tools(not included): 1 Screwdriver PH 2 x 100 (Phillips type)
Estimated assembly time (carry handle and screws): 5 minutes
INSTALLATION
The fan heater can be easily positioned on any horizontal support surface in an upright
position.
OPERATION
Switching on
Plug into the outlet. Turn the thermostat to maximum. Switch the appliance on using the
switch/switches following the procedures given below:
- switch in position «l» = minimum power (indicator light on);
- switch in position «ll» = maximum power (indicator light on);
To get the maximum power, both switches must be depressed.

Adjusting the thermostat:
When the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly turn the thermostat knob
counter-clockwise until you hear a “click”, and not beyond that point. The thermostat will
then adjust that set temperature automatically and keep it constant.
Anti-freeze function
With the thermostat in position and the switches on, the appliance keeps the room at a tem-
perature of approx. 41° F (5° C ), preventing freezing with minimum energy consumption.
Switching the appliance off: To turn appliance off, switch off both switches then remove
the plug from the electrical outlet.
Additional features: Front Safety Guards- prevent the front grill from touching the floor
when the heater is tipped over forward.
- Convenient Carry Handle-allows for easy transport from room to room.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Always remove the plug from the power socket and allow the heater to cool. After the
heater has cooled, clean it with a soft damp cloth, do not use detergents or abrasives. Peri-
odically clean the air intake and outlet grilles during the period in which the heater is in
use with a vacuum cleaner. Should the heater not be in use over a certain length of time,
wrap the cable and store it in a dry place. This appliance has been built to provide many
years of trouble free service. In case of malfunction, do not try to repair the heater yourself:
it may result in fire hazard or electric shock. Call the nearest Service Center (see attached
list of Service Centers).
ATTENTION
A safety device switches the fan heater off if it accidentally overheats. To reset the unit for
normal operation, remove the plug from the outlet for a few minutes, eliminate the cause of
overheating (e.g. air intake or outlet grilles obstructed) and then plug the fan heater back
in again. Contact your nearest Service Center if the fan heater does not begin normal
operation again.
The appliance is equipped with a double tip-over-switch for extra safety. This device turns
the appliance off should it fall over or if it is not perfectly stable. To restart the appliance,
simply place it upright again.
