furniture, pillows, bedding, paper,
clothing, and curtains 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 redu-
ced physical, sensory or mental capabi-
lities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, 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.

damaged cord or plug,after faulty opera-
tion, or when it has been dropped or
damaged in any way. Contact the neare-
st authorized service facility for exami-
nation, electrical or mechanical adjust-
ment,or repair.

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 bath-
tub or come in contact with water.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting the plug to the power
outlet, make sure that the voltage of your elec-
trical system corresponds to the voltage
shown on the appliance rating label and the
outlet you are going to use is in good condi-
tion.
INSTALLATION
The appliance may be used on any rigid hori-
zontal surface. Do not overload the electrical
circuit; avoid using the same outlet for multi-
ple appliances.

2. The appliance emits a beep and the power
indicator light (H) comes on and remains
on as long as the appliance is powered.
3. The appliance goes into OFF and the
display shows a dot “  ”.
If the dot is blinking it means that the tip
over switch has been activated.
See paragraph: “Additional safety featu-
res” page 6.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
• The remote control functions correspond
to those on the control panel. See the sec-
tion “Operation and Use" on the previous
page for a description of the functions.
Inserting or replacing the batteries
- Remove the cover on the rear of the remo-
te control;
- Insert two AAA (R03/1.5V) batteries
(included but packaged separately)
making sure they are in the correct posi-
tion (see the instructions inside the battery
compartment);
- Do not mix old and new batteries;
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-
zinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc)
batteries;
- Replace the cover;
- Old batteries must be removed and dispo-
sed of in accordance with current legisla-
tion as they are harmful to the environ-
ment.
MAINTENANCE
- Before carrying out any maintenance,
always remove the plug from the power
outlet.
-During the season when the appliance is
being used, regularly clean the air intake
and outlet grilles using a vacuum clea-
ner.
- Never use abrasive powders or solvents to
clean the appliance.
- Remove the back grille by pulling it
outward (Fig. 1).
- Remove the dust filter that filters impuri-
ties from the air taken in from the room,
blow it lightly, then reposition it in the
appliance.
WARNINGS
- Never use this heating appliance in the
immediate vicinity of a bathtub, shower, or
swimming pool.
- Use the appliance always and only in the
vertical position.

6
- Do not use the appliance to dry laundry,
and do not obstruct the air intake and
outlet grilles (danger of overheating).
- Do not operate the appliance in contact
with walls, furniture, curtains, etc.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, the authori-
zed service facility, or a qualified electri-
cian, in order to prevent the risk of mal-
function.
- Do not cover the appliance while it is ope-
rating, as this could potentially cause a
fire.
- Do not use this appliance in a room smal-
ler than 43 square feet (4 m²).
- Heaters should never be used with an
extension cord or outlet strip. Heaters
should be plugged directly into an outlet.
- Before storing the appliance, check it is
completely off and the cable is unplugged.
At this point wrap the cord around the
base. Do not store in a dusty room. The
room temperature should be between 32-
86°F (0-30°C). Do not load anything
above it.
- Heaters draw more current than small
appliances, overheating of the outlet may
occur even if it has not occured with the
use of other appliances.
Additional safety features
1. Overheating protection: a safety device
switches the fan heater off if it accidental-
ly overheats (e.g.: air intake and outlet
grilles obstructed, filter clogged). In this
case remove the plug from the power
outlet and leave it unplugged for a few
minutes, eliminate the cause of overhea-
ting, then plug the fan heater back and
turn it on again.
2. Tip over safety switch: a safety tip-over
switch turns the fan heater off if it tips
over or is positioned in an improper way
that could jeopardize safety. The appliance
emits a beep and the display will show a
blinking dot. After the appliance has been
restored in the vertical position it will take
just few seconds to start on again.
Note: To avoid overheating the appliance, do
not cover it.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
In case “PF” is displayed and a warning sound
is emitted, there is a fault on the temperature
sensor. If the problem persists contact the
Service Center.
If the appliance shuts off unexpectedly:
- Check that the appliance is receiving
power.
- Check that the appliance is in the vertical
position and on a flat surface, as the
safety tip-over switch may have been trip-
ped.
- Check the temperature set and the timer:
the appliance may be off because the set
temperature has been reached or the time
set on the timer has elapsed.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. lf this equipment does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
