- Unplug the appliance from the mains.

CARRY HANDLE:
- This appliance has a handle on the back to
make it easy and convenient to transport (E).
ANTI-TIPPING SAFETY DEVICE:
- The appliance has an anti-tipping safety device
that turns it off if the working position is not the
correct one.
ANTI-FROST FUNCTION:
- When the machine is on, turn the adjustable
thermostat knob (A) to the MIN position. Whe-
never the room temperature drops to 0-5ºC the
heater will automatically turn on. When the room
temperature is over 5ºC, the fan heater will
automatically turn off.
SAFETY THERMAL PROTECTOR:
- The appliance has a safety device, which pro-
tects the appliance from overheating.
- When the appliance switches itself on and off
repeatedly, for reasons other than the ther-
mostat control, check to ensure that there are
no obstacles that impede correct air entry or
expulsion.
- If the appliance turns itself off and does not
switch itself on again, disconnect it from the
mains supply, and wait for approximately 15
minutes before reconnecting. If the machine
does not start again seek authorised technical
assistance.
CLEANING
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning
task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products,
for cleaning the appliance.
- Do not let water or any other liquid get into the
air vents to avoid damage to the inner parts of
the appliance.
- Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or place it under running water.
- If the appliance is not in good condition of clean-
liness, its surface may degrade and inexorably
affect the duration of the appliance's useful life
and could become unsafe to use.
- Remark: When the appliance is used as a hea-
ter after long periods in storage or after having
been used solely as a fan a small amount of
smoke may be produced. This is not important
and is due to the heater burning dust depo-
sits which have accumulated on the heating
element. This phenomenon may be avoided by
cleaning the inside of the appliance before-
hand through the grill with a vacuum cleaner or
pressurised air.
