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
- 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 rea-
ched from a person standing in a bathtub or a shower.
- The electrical feed cord must be replaced only by officially authorised personnel.
ELECTRIC 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.
When you plug in the appliance, the red pilot light will illuminate (Fig. 1).
INSTALLATION
The fan heater can be easily positioned on any horizontal support surface in an upright
position.

OPERATION
-Reduced power operation: turn the thermostat dial to the maximum position and
press the “o” switch (the pilot light will turn on).
-Full power operation (only on some models): turn the thermostat dial to the maxi-
mum position and press the “o” and “oo” switches (the pilot lights will turn on).
-Setting the thermostat:
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly in
an anti-clockwise direction until you get to the setting — and not beyond it — where you
hear a click. The thermostat will then adjust that set temperature automatically and keep
it constant.
You could utilize only one of them power during mild seasons and on days not particu-
larly cold. You will thus use but little electrical power and obtain even greater savings in
energy consumption.
-Anti-freeze function
With the thermostat in the position and the switches pressed, the appliance will
keep the room at a temperature of approximately 5°C, thereby preventing freezing,
at a minimum consumption of energy.
-Switching the appliance off: turn off the switches and turn the thermostat dial anti-
clockwise to the minimum position .
MODELS WITH ROTATING BODY
This appliance is fitted with a motorized base and a rotating body.
To distribute the air flow over a larger area, press the oversized switch (Fig. 2).
When activated, the appliance will oscillate from right to left over an angle of approximate-
ly 30°. To terminate oscillating, simply press the oversized switch again.
IMPORTANT
In the event of a blackout , the appliance will not switch on again automatically.
To switch the appliance back on, repeat the procedure described above.
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).

The above warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties and representations. All implied warranties are limited to

ATTENTION
A safety device switches the fan heater off if it accidentally overheats. An audible signal warns
of any problems. To reset the unit for normal 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.
