Safety measures
The heater is equipped with a topple safeguard which switches the heater off if it
accidentally falls over. It will start working again once it has been set upright.
but, before reusing, switch if 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. After cooling down, the heater will
automatically switch on again but if the cause has not been eliminated, this could
be repeated (with all of the corresponding risks) 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!
If the heater is hung on the wall, clean the back and the space behind the
heater. Then remove the heater from the wall, see ‘Installation’.
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.
