NOTE
Dear customer, Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owners. To ensure safe operation, the device may only be operated in accordance with the information in these operating instructions. Please carefully follow all information provided in these instructions.

 ATTENTION!
This device can be used by children aged 8 and over and by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental aptitude, providing they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the associated potential dangers. Children must not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children without supervision.

 ATTENTION!
Children younger than 3 years of age must be kept away unless they are supervised constantly.

 ATTENTION!
Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may switch the device on and off if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and have understood the resulting dangers, providing that the device is positioned or installed in its normal place of use.

 ATTENTION!
Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may not switch on the device, clean the device or carry out maintenance.

 ATTENTION!
The heating device carries the symbol shown on the right, which indicates that the heating device must under no circumstances be covered with any objects.

 ATTENTION!
Some parts of the device can get very hot and cause burns. Particular caution must be taken with children or vulnerable people.

 ATTENTION!
Do not operate the heating device in rooms where highly flammable substances are used (e.g. solvents).

 ATTENTION!
Install the device in such a manner that it cannot be touched by a person in the bathtub or under the shower.

 ATTENTION!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

 ATTENTION!
Rooms can become overheated if left unattended whilst in operation; this depends on the size of the room, its heat consumption and the controller setting. Persons who are not able to vacate the room if the temperature becomes too high can thus be placed in danger.

 ATTENTION!
To prevent a hazard due to the protection temperature limiter being reset unintentionally, the device must not be supplied by an external switching facility, such as a time switch, or connected to an electric circuit that is switched on and off regularly by a device.

 ATTENTION!
Do not use the device if it is visibly damaged or if the device has been dropped.

 ATTENTION!
If the device switches on automatically when unsupervised, hazards may arise, e.g. devices that have been covered or adjusted could result in fires.

NOTE
Use device for room heating within enclosed rooms only.

Overload protector

For your safety, the heating device is equipped with an overload protector. If the air circulation is interrupted (e.g. due to the air grille being covered or closed), the device switches off automatically. In this case, the power supply to the heating device should be disconnected for a few minutes (switch off the fuse) to allow the device to cool down sufficiently. Before recommissioning the device, resolve the reasons for the overload protector being triggered.

Maintenance

The device must be disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool down before maintenance. Clean the outside of the device using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use scouring powder or furniture polish as this may damage the surface. Dust which gathers inside the device can be removed from the outside using a vacuum cleaner.

Faults

If the heating device is not emitting any heat, check the following points:

• Has the heating level been selected?
• Has the controller been set to the desired temperature?
• Has the overload protector been triggered? See chapter 5.
• Has the fuse in the switch box tripped?
  If you cannot remedy the fault, please contact your electrical retailer. The retailer will require the product number (E no.) and the production date (FD) of the device. This information is listed on the type plate.

Warranty

This product is supplied with a two-year warranty according to our terms of guarantee.

 Recycling

Do not dispose of the device with general household waste. Take the device to the available collection points at the end of its service life.
