inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible
damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to
persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible.
4. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate
the appliance when its Motor Unit is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact
a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent, or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock
hazard.
5. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,
and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth
wire for extra safety.
6. Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely
necessary, use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations
and according to the electrical parameters of the adapters.
7. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
8. Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any
non-original component or accessory NOT recommended by the manufacturer
may cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance.
9. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out
of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources
of danger.

Location
10. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence
of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric
conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items
containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never
be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
11. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of, objects
which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate
multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the
appliance. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the
surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above
or adjacent to it may become very hot. If the appliance is operated on wooden
furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes. There
should be at least 20 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides, and the
top of the appliance to allow adequate air circulation. Never put things on top of
the appliance.
12. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where
it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable
must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar.
Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped
over. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the cable.

splashing onto the fan may cause an electric shock.
14. DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only
indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of
the sun and dust.
