• Do not use an extension cord, power strip or any other electronic ballast devices. Connect the
power plug to a wall power outlet only.
• The safety clearance to combustible or highly flammable objects and materials (i.e. curtains,
doors, furniture, etc.) must be at least 50 cm for the housing sides and 100 cm for the heater
vents. Failure to heed this minimum safety clearance poses a fire hazard!
• Use in spaces with a great amount of dust, with flammable gases, vapors or solvents is not
permitted. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Never leave the product unattended during use.
• The air vents become very hot very quickly. Risk of burning! Use appropriate caution when
handling the product. Never touch it with your bare hands.
• Unpleasant odors may occur for some time during first use. Make sure the room where the
product is set up is sufficiently ventilated.
• Move, transport and store the product only when it is fully cooled off.
• Use the product in temperature climates only, do not use in the tropics.
• Do not use the product just after moving it from a cold to a warm space. This may cause
condensation which can destroy the device or lead to electric shock. Allow the device to reach
room temperature first. Wait until all condensation has evaporated – this may take up to several
hours – before connecting the product to the power supply and beginning use.
• Never pour liquids above or near the product. This poses a great fire hazard and risk of electric
shock. Should liquid enter the device interior, remove it immediately from the circuit (turn off
the circuit‘s fuse/circuit breaker/residual current operated circuit breaker). Only now is it safe to
unplug the product. Consult a professional. Discontinue use of the product.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from
any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) battery.
• The (rechargeable) battery should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period
of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged (rechargeable) batteries might
cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle
corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (rechargeable)
batteries lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
c) Miscellaneous
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a
qualified shop.
