IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read this manual thoroughly before operating your Solis Silent Hea-
ter to become familiar with the appliance and learn to operate it safely. We
recommend safely keeping this manual and, should you pass the appliance
on, handing it over to the new owner.
When using electric appliances, please regard the following cautionary mea-
sures for your own safety:
1. To prevent electric shock, neither the heater nor the power cord and plug must
come into contact with water or any other liquids. Water might penetrate the
housing and damage the appliance! Should the appliance resp. power cord or
plug come into contact with water, pull the plug from the socket immediately,
using dry rubber gloves.
2. Before starting up, check if the voltage stated on the appliance corresponds to
your mains voltage.
3. During operation, the appliance has to stand on a firm, stable and dry surface
with all four wheels to prevent it from falling over. Alternatively, you can mount
the heater firmly to a wall not sensitive to heat. When mounting the appliance
to a wall, keep the required safety distance of at least 15 cm to the floor, 25 cm
to the next wall and 45 cm above the heater to prevent the appliance from over-
heating and to permit free air circulation. When using the appliance standing on
its feet, keep the safety distances around and above the appliance.
4. Do not let the power cord hang over edges to prevent it from being pulled down.
Please ensure that it does not come into contact with hot surfaces like f.e. an
stove top or a heater or even the appliance itself. Always unroll the power cord
completely before plugging in the plug.
5. Keep the appliance safe from hot gas, hot ovens or other heat-emitting devices
or heat sources. Never place the appliance near moisture, heat and naked fla-
mes. Keep the appliance safe from moving parts or devices.
6. Never carry or pull the appliance by the power cord or place anything on the
power cord.
7. Never connect the appliance to a plug board or a power socket, to which other
appliances are connected.
8. We advise against using the appliance with an extension cord. Do not place
the appliance directly under a power socket.
9. Always pull the plug when the appliance is not in use or unsupervised, or if you
wish to clean it. We recommend using a residual current device (RCD-safety-
switch) to provide additional protection when using electric devices. It is advi-
