• Unpack all parts and check for damage that may have occurred
during transport. If any parts are damaged or missing, do not
use the appliance and return it to your retail outlet immediately.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
• It is normal when heaters are turned on for the first time, or if
they have not been used for some time, to emit some smell and
fumes. This will disappear after a short time (approx. 2 hours).
• It is also normal for the heater to emit small crackling sounds
when you first turn it on.
• This heater is designed for occasional or intermittent use and
should not be left on for prolonged periods of time.
CAUTION:
• The heater must always be placed in an upright position on a
horizontal surface. Never turn the heater upside down when in
use as it could cause irreparable damage.
• The heater does not have a device to control the room
temperature. Do not use the heater in small rooms occupied
by persons incapable of leaving the room on their own, unless
constant supervision is provided.
SETTING UP THE HEATER
1. Make sure the heater is placed upright on a firm, level, heat-
resistant and non-combustible floor surface. Do not place the
heater on a carpet or soft surface that may block the air inlets/

and the desired function is activated. Similarly, when turning
the THERMOSTAT knob (5) down, the click indicates that the
thermostat has turned o and the function is deactivated.
