type of use, for example commercial or business use, will void the warranty.
(2) This heater is not suitable for use in wet or damp spaces such as bathrooms and laundries.
Do not place the heater in the vicinity of taps, bathtub, shower, pool, fountains or other sources
of moisture. Make sure it cannot fall into water and prevent water or liquids from getting into the
heater itself. If, at any time the heater does fall into water, switch off at the power outlet and unplug
immediately. Never immerse the heater, cord or plug in water and never touch it with wet hands.
(3) Fully extend the cord before plugging in the heater. Make sure it does not come into contact with
any part of the heater and prevent it from heating up in any other way. Make sure the cord cannot be
stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it.
(4) The heater carries the warning “DO NOT COVER” in order to avoid overheating do not cover the
heater. The heater’s air inlets and outlets should never be obstructed in any way. Do not place articles
on or against any parts of this heater. Never use the heater to dry clothes. Do not place on soft surfaces
like beds or deep pile carpets as they can block openings.

surroundings of a bath, shower or a swimming pool.

or large objects and do not place it under shelves or in cupboards.

may lead to electric shock, fire or damage.

switching off the socket outlet and removing the plug. Never pull on the cord to remove the plug from
the socket outlet – always pull on the plug.
