A convector contains parts that generate arcs or sparks. It must not be used in potentially dangerous areas such as
areas at risk of fire or explosion, or areas loaded with chemical substances or humidity.
Do not use the convector on soft surfaces such as beds, where the grilles may be covered. Always stand the convector
on a flat, stable surface when in operation, in order to prevent it from overturning. Arrange the cord in such a way that
the convector and other objects do not rest on it. Do not run the cord under carpets. Do not cover the cord with
blankets, carpets or similar materials. Place the cord far away from busy areas, or in a place where it cannot be
accidentally pulled-out.
