 Do not mount the product on walls made of synthetic
material.

2. Wall mounting
 Only fix the heater in vertical position with the air outlet grid downward;
 This heater is fitted with a double electrical insulation circuit (class II) and therefore does not require an
earth connection.
 It must never be possible for people in the bath tub or shower to reach the adjustment knobs.
 This heater must be correctly installed in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of
installation.
 In wet spaces like bathrooms or kitchens, the connection terminal must be installed at least 25 cm
above the floor. The electrical connection to the power supply must also be fitted with a two-pole switch
with a minimum gap between the contacts that allows complete disconnection according to excess
voltage III category conditions.
 Always make observe the minimum distances from walls, furniture and/or objects, as indicated in
picture 2. Never install the product so that the distance between the floor and the lower side of the
product is less than 600 mm:
-Drill three 6 mm diameter holes in the wall, as shown in picture 3
-Insert the three wall plugs supplied with the product
-Insert the 2 upper screws, contained in the same bag, taking care to leave a distance of 8 mm between
the head of the screws and the wall;
-Gripping the heater firmly, hook it onto the two screws; CAUTION! Before releasing the heater make

 Please do not push or embed towel close to the air outlet grid (picture 5) but place them as shown in
picture 6.
5. Using the fan heater
The heater is fitted with the controls shown in figure 7
Using the thermostat
 In a room with a temperature in excess of 35°C, the thermostat does not turn on the fan heater even if it
is at maximum.
 Vice-versa, in a room with a very low temperature (below 5°C), the thermostat keeps the heater
constantly on, even if it is at minimum.
 To optimise use of the thermostat, proceed as follows:
-turn the thermostat knob to maximum and wait until a comfortable temperature is reached;
-then turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until you hear a “ click” and the heater turns off;
-turn the thermostat knob clockwise just a little;
-in this position, the thermostat will maintain the selected ambient temperature.
Model with thermostat and 60’ timer
 This model of fan heater is fitted with two knobs, one for the 60’ timer and the other for the thermostat.
 2 different operating modes are available:
A Maintenance of ambient temperature:
Starting from the anti-freeze position “*”, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until you hear a
“click”: the fan heater starts working at 1000W and the indicator LED lights up.
The thermostat maintains the required ambient temperature byautomatically turning the heater on
and off. The more the knob is turned clockwise to a higher number, the higher the ambient
temperature will be. The highest position of the thermostat corresponds to approximately 35°C,
the bottom one (*) to about 5°C.
To adjust the thermostat, see the USING THE THERMOSTAT section above.
B Rapid heating
Adjust the ambient thermostat to the required temperature and then turn the timer knob to select
the required operating time. The product rapidly heats the room 1800W for the set time and then
reduces power to 1000W to maintain the ambient temperature selected with the thermostat.
 When the heater is working under timer control at 1800W the thermostat doesn't control the room
temperature. In this condition, do not use the heater in small rooms when they are occupied bypersons
not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided by a person
responsible for their safety.
6. Troubleshooting
 In the event of overheating, the safety device on the appliance automatically disabled the heating
elements and motor. In this case:
- Turn off the fan heater and allow it to cool down for about 15/20 minutes.
- Make sure the dust filter is not totally obstructed and clean if necessary. Remember to put it back
again afterwards.
- Eliminate any other possible reasons for overheating (e.g.: obstructions in front of the air inlet/outlet
grilles, build-ups of dirt).
- Turn on the fan heater again and check it works correctly.
7. Maintenance
 This product does not require any special maintenance.
 Clean the product with a dry cloth once every6 months.
 If the product requires repairing, contact an authorised technical service centre.
 When replacing the power cable, use a 2x1,00mm2H05VV-F HAR type. This operation must be
performed by qualified personnel and never by the end user in order to avoid damaging the appliance
and jeopardising personal safety.
