IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. This appliance is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot sur-
faces. Use handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furni-
ture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0,9 m) from the
front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or
invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug appliance when not in use.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or
mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor loca-
tions. Never locate appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, run-
ners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will
not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
10. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation opening as this may
cause an electric shock, fire or damage the appliance.
12. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not
use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
13. A fan heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
14. Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into
the same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord
which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a
worn electrical outlet (receptacle). Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior
to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle/ may result
in overheating of the power cord or fire.
17. Do not use an extension cord because the extension cable may overheat
and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cable,
the cable shall be no. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875
watts, and has to be used only for supplying power to this appliance.
18. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Please remember
that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if

signs overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the recepta-
cle and CALL your electrician.
19. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way
during transportation.
20. CAUTION: to prevent electric shock match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
21. Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating with the
attendant risk of fire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having 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
- This heater includes a thermal Cut-Off Overheat Protection System that shuts the unit off if
it overheats due to abnormal conditions. It this occurs, the Overheat safety light “red”
will turn on. Turn the heater “Off”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or
adjacent to the heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume
normal operation.
- 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 feed cord must be replaced only by officially 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 outlet
where the heater is plugged in.
INSTALLATION
The fan heater can be easily positioned on any horizontal support surface in an upright position.
OPERATION
-
Turn the thermostat knob in a clockwise direction until it reaches the maximum setting.
- Summer service (ventilation only): turn the function selector knob to setting (the
pilot light amber is in “on position”).

-Setting the thermostat:
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly in an anti-
clockwise direction until the pilot light turns off and not beyond it. The thermostat will then
adjust that set temperature automatically and keep it constant.
-Anti-freeze function
Turn the function selector knob to setting 2, then turn the thermostat knob to setting .
When it is set in this way the appliance keeps the room at a temperature of approx. 41°
F (5° C ) with minimal energy expenditure.
-Switching the appliance off: turn the function selector in position “OFF” and the
thermostat in the position, 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. Periodically
clean the air intake and outlet grilles during the period in which the heater is in use with a vacu-
um cleaner.
Should the heater not be in use over a certain length of time, 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 nor-
mal operation, remove the plug from the mains socket 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.
