5. The supply voltage and utility frequency, specified on the machine, need to match those of the socket that is
used. The electrical installation needs to be protected by a residual current device (max. 30 mAmp). Make
sure that the power point is easily accessible at all times so that the plug can be taken out in the event of an
emergency.
6. 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 any other way. Do not run the cord underneath carpeting; do not
cover it with mats, carpet strips, or similar and make sure it is not placed in any passageways. Make sure the
cord cannot be stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Do not lead the cord around sharp
corners and do not roll it up too tightly after use!
7. If possible, do not use an extension cord, as this poses the risk of overheating and fire. If the use of an
extension cord is unavoidable, then make sure it is an undamaged, approved extension cord with a minimum
diameter of 2 x 2.5 mm² and a minimum permissible power of 2000 Watt/10Amp. To prevent overheating,
always fully extend the cord!
8. To prevent the circuit being overloaded and fuses being blown, make sure no other appliances are connected
to the same socket or wired to the same electrical circuit as the heater.
9. Do not use the heater outdoors and do not use it in spaces smaller than 6 m².
10. A heater contains hot and/or glowing and sparking components. Do not, therefore, use it in areas where
fuels, paint, flammable liquids and/or gasses etc. are stored.
11. Do not place the heater near, under, or directly opposite a socket and do not place near an open fire or other
heat source.
12. Do not use the heater near or directly opposite furniture, animals, curtains, paper, clothes, bedding or other
inflammable objects. Keep them at least 1,2 metre away from the heater!
13. Never cover a heater! The heater’s air inlets and outlets should never be obstructed in any way, so as to
prevent the possibility of fire. Never use the heater to dry clothes and do not place anything on top of the
heater. Do not place it on soft surfaces such as beds or deep-pile carpets, as they can block openings.
14. Make sure that the air around the heater can circulate freely. Do not place the heater too close to walls or
large objects and do not place it under shelves, cupboards, and similar. Keep a distance of at least 1 metre
all round the heater, with 1.2 metres at the front.
15. Prevent foreign objects from entering the heater via the venting or exhaust openings as this may lead to
electric shock, fire or damage.
16. Never leave the heater unattended when switched on. Always switch if off before removing the plug from the
socket. Always unplug the heater when not in use! Pull on the plug to remove from the socket, never pull on
the cord!
17. Always switch the heater off, unplug it and leave to cool down before:
- cleaning the heater
- carrying out maintenance on the heater
-
touching or moving the heater. Use the handle for this!
18. This machine gets hot when it is in use. To prevent burns, do not let bare skin come into contact with hot
surfaces.
19. Do not use a timer or a similar product to automatically switch on the heater. Always perform safety checks
before using the heater!
20. Never touch any of the heater’s moving parts: danger of death!
21. This heater is not suitable for breeding or cultivating activities.

children use the appliance as a toy. This appliance is not suitable to be operated by children or persons who
have physical, sensory and/or mental limitations, or by persons who have no knowledge of, or experience
with, this appliance.
23. Keep the heater clean. Dust, dirt and/or a build up of deposits in the heater are a common cause of
overheating. Make sure these deposits are removed regularly.
24. Do not turn on the appliance if you have discovered damage to the appliance, cord or plug, if the appliance is
malfunctioning, if it has been dropped or if there are signs of any other defect. Return the complete product to
the vendor or to a certified electrician for inspection and/or repair. Always ask for original parts.
25. The manufacturer, importer and supplier accept no liability for any damage caused because the capacity of
the heater was insufficient for the space to be heated, nor for any damage caused by the incorrect usage of
the heater or for any damage caused by force majeure.
26. Do not use attachments and/or accessories, not recommended or supplied by the manufacturer.
27. The appliance (incl. cord and plug) may only be opened and/or repaired by properly authorised and qualified
persons.

these rules also immediately nullifies the guarantee and vendor, importer and/or manufacturer do not take
responsibility for any of the consequences!
