IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be taken to avoid the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read these instructions thoroughly before using this heater.
2. If your radiator is equipped with a polythene tape, which serves as carry handle, remove it
prior to connecting the appliance to an outlet.
3. This heater becomes very hot when operating. To avoid burns, do not touch its hot surfaces
with your bare skin. Use the heater’s handle when moving it. Keep combustible materials,
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) away
from the heater’s front and top, and also well away from its sides and rear.
4. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
5. Always unplug the heater when it is not in use.
6. Do not operate your heater when its cord or plug has been damaged or after it has malfunc-
tioned, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If you notice any leakage of oil, swit-
ch it off immediately and contact a service center as indicated in these instructions. Return the
heater to an authorized service facility for inspection, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or
repair.
7. Your heater should not be operated outdoors.
8. Your heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations.
Never locate the heater where it might fall into a bathtub or other water containers.
9. Do not run the electric cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or
the like. Run the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
10. To disconnect the heater, switch it OFF, then unplug its cord from the outlet.
11. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
12. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this
might cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
13. To prevent fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not place the heater on
soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may be blocked.
14. Your heater’s internal parts may become hot or issue sparks during normal operation.
Therefore, you should not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are
used or stored.
15. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer might cause fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
16. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliances are plugged into the
same shared outlet, or a separate outlet on the same shared circuit.
17. The heater’s electric cord and plug may grow warmer during normal operation. However,
exceedingly hot or deformed plug or cord are not normal, and are often the result of a defec-
tive power outlet. You should replace such outlets prior to further use of the heater.
Continuous use of defective outlets might cause cord overheating and fire.
18. The use of extension cords is not recommended, as they are likely to overheat and increase
the risk of fire.
19. Make sure the heater is firmly plugged into the wall outlet. Please note that the quality of wall
outlets may deteriorate over time: Check the electric plug periodically for signs of overheating
or deformation, and in such cases, stop using that outlet and have it fixed.
20. Check that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during
transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between
heating elements. If necessary, remove such pieces using a vacuum cleaner.
22. When switching the heater on for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two
hours to get rid of a possibly unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room where the heater is
placed is well ventilated during this first operation. Soft crackling sounds are normal during
the heater’s first operation.
