Position the fan heater far from other sources of heat, inflammable materials (curtains, carpets, etc.), inflammable gases or explosive materials (spray cans) and from materials that can deform on exposure to heat. Make sure that there is 100 cm of free space in front of the fan heater and 30 cm on the sides. Do not use the heater in the immediate vicinity of a bathtub, shower or swimming pool (to avoid drops of water falling on the heater or the heater falling in the water), or in places where it could be subject to shocks.

Anti-frost device

Insert the plug into the power socket, turn the selector knob in pos. “I I” and turn the thermostat knob to the anti-frost position (*): this permits convector heater switching on when the ambient temperature falls below +5°C.

Ionising function: this produces a flow of negative ions which neutralise the positive ions in the air; the ionising function is less evident in environments with high levels of humidity. This function is active every time the appliance is switched on.

Never leave the appliance connected to the socket if it is not in use, especially for long periods.

It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. Bear in mind that: the body, the electrical wires are copper coated in rubber. – The electric motor is made of iron and copper. The electrical resistance is made of iron.
