The following basic precautions should always be followed when handling electrical equipment:
• To avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.
• Some parts of this product may become very hot and cause burns. Special care must be taken
when children and vulnerable persons are near the heater.
• The fan heater is not suitable for outdoor use in damp weather, bathrooms or other wet or humid
environments.
• Please note that the fan heater can become very hot. It should therefore be placed at a safe dis-
tance from combustible objects such as furniture, curtains and the like.
• Do not cover the heater.
• Do not place the heater directly under a power outlet.
• Do not connect the radiator to an on/off timer or other devices that automatically turn the heating
on or off.
• The radiator must not be stored in rooms where flammable liquids or gases are used.
• If an extension cord is used, it must be as short as possible and always fully extended.
• No other appliances may be plugged into the same outlet as the heater.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or a
similarly qualified person to avoid danger.
• Place the heater far enough away from curtains and places where the air intake can be blocked.
• The power coupler is waterproof when not in use. Never use the unit with wet hands when it is not
working properly and when water is on the power cord to avoid possible electric shock or power
leakage.
• Do not dispose of electrical equipment as unsorted waste, use separate collection facilities. Con-
tact the local municipality for information on collection systems. When electrical equipment is
disposed of in landfills, hazardous substances can enter the groundwater and thus the food chain.
