Safety features
The heater is fitted with a
tipping safeguard
which automatically shuts off the
appliance if it inadvertently falls over. When the heater is returned to its upright
position, it will resume functioning as normal but, before reusing, switch off, unplug
and check for damage. Do not use the heater if it is damaged or malfunctioning, but
have it inspected/repaired!
In case of internal overheating,
the overheating safeguard
will switch the heater off.
This may occur if the heater cannot give off enough heat or if it cannot draw in
enough fresh air. As mentioned above, this is generally caused by (partially) covering
the heater, obstructing the air intake and/or outlet grills or installing the heater too
close to a wall or something similar. When the heater has cooled down sufficiently, it
will in principle start again automatically, however if you do not remove the cause of
the cut-off then this will probably be repeated. Regular overheating can give rise to
irreparable damage. In case of overheating, switch off the heater and unplug. Give
the heater time to cool down, remove the source of the overheating and use as
normal. If the problem persists or if you have not been able to trace the source of the
overheating, turn the heater off immediately and unplug. Contact a servicing point to
have the heater repaired.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common
cause of overheating so these should be removed regularly. Switch off the heater,
remove the plug from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning or
carrying out maintenance work.
Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or
chemical solutions!
Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove any dust and dirt from the grills and
ensure that the air intake and outlet openings are clean. Be careful not to touch
or damage any internal parts during cleaning!
The heater contains no other parts which need maintenance.
At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater in the original packaging if
possible. Store it upright in a cool, dry and dust-free place.
Do not dispose of heater with household waste when it becomes worn or
damaged beyond repair. Take it to your local authority's collection point for
electrical appliances where any reusable materials will be collected and
redistributed.
