INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PRINCIPLES OF SAFE OPERATION
When using electrical equipment always follow basic safety
rules, especially those listed below:
• This equipment is not intended to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities or a person with no experience or
knowledge, unless it is done under supervision or in
accordance with the instruction manual, handed over
by persons responsible for their safety. Make sure that
children do not play with the equipment!
• The convection heater should only be used as intended
and in accordance with these instructions.
• Before use, the feet should be assembled in indicated
places (do not use the device without assembled feet).
• Before switching on the heater read the manual carefully
(keep the instructions for future reference).
• Before connecting the unit to the power supply check if
the casing and power cable are not damaged. Should
the device have any visible signs of damage or if there is
suspicion that it might be damaged in an invisible manner
(e.g. if device dropped), it cannot be used. Do not use the
device when defective or damaged. Regularly check the
device to see if there is no damage to the power cord.
• In the case of any damage to the heater or the power cord,
the convection heater should be definitely left for repair in
a service shop. Such a device cannot be used. You should
not make repairs or exchange the power cord on your
own.
• Before connecting the power cord into the power network,
check whether the rated voltage specified on the device is
consistent with the mains voltage (the convection heater
can be powered only with AC 230 V, 50 Hz, through socket
with pin/earth pin).
• Other equipment should not be connected to the socket
with the convection heater. Do not use distributors,
extension cords or remotely controlled devices (systems),
time switches, programmers or other devices switching
the heater automatically or semi-automatically.
• The convection heater should not be placed directly
below a power socket. Place the convection heater on the
ground (after assembling the feet), on a flat surface in a
stable manner protecting the device from falling.
The device should always operate in the upright position.
The power cord must not come in contact with a damp
or hot surface. It cannot be twisted or placed within the
reach of children. It must be placed away from the heater’s
casing (which is emitting heat). The power cord must
neither be dragged through sharp edges, nor left to jam.
• Do not use the heater in the room with explosive gas,
flammable adhesives, solvents and similar substances.
There are parts inside the device that can be hot during
operation, or that may cause sparking.
• The convection heater must not be immersed in water
or any other liquid. Do not expose the device to weather
conditions (rain, sun...). Do not use the equipment in an
open area, near a bathtub, shower, pool or other water
sources. Do not use in wet or damp environment. The
device must be protected against ingress of water and
other fluids. This may cause electric shock. Do not operate
the device with wet or damp hands.
• Do not use the heater near furniture, bedding, clothes,
paper, curtains and other combustible material due to the
risk of those objects getting ignited from the heaters (the
distance between the convection heater and such objects
cannot be less than 100 cm).
• Do not use the heater in a room with an area of less than
4 m
2
. The device cannot be installed nor used inside
vehicles.
• Do not cover the convection heater. Do not cover, block
or obstruct air inlet and air outlet grilles. Do not obstruct
airflow to the unit or the outflow of hot air. This may cause
overheating of the device or fire.
• Do not insert fingers or other objects in the grid of the
device (when the heater is both turned on or off).
• Before changing the location of the convection heater,
set the heating and ventilation switch to “0” position, the
thermostat knob to „Min” and disconnect the device from
the power source.
• Do not leave the heater unattended if switched on.
• Do not leave children or pets unattended near the
appliance (children and pets are not allowed to touch or
play with the convection heater. During operation the
temperature in the outlet opening is very high).
• When leaving the house, make sure to disconnect the
convection heater from the power source (set the heating/
ventilation switch to “0” position, the thermostat knob
to “Min”, remove the plug from the socket). Always unplug
the heater when not used! The plug disconnected by
pulling the power cord.
• The appliance should be kept clean. Do not allow any
objects to get inside the device. Do not disassemble and
open the device. This may cause electric shock, fire or damage
to the convection heater.
• This device is intended for home use only.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
When connecting the device and during maintenance and
operation of the device adhere strictly to the safety rules
described in this manual, in the “Principles of safe operation”
section. Place the convection heater in a proper place
(in accordance with the safety rules). Make sure that all mode
switches are set to the “0” position and that the thermostat
knob is set to “min.” position. Plug the heater’s cord to the
power source. Set the mode switch to the desired mode of
operation:
