te heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

12.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.

A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or
flammable liquids are used or stored.
15.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
16.To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet
(receptacle) or into anolher outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
17.It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the
touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles
should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet /receptacle/ may result
in overheating of the power cord or fire.
18.
Do not use an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an exten-
sion cord, the cord shall be properly grounded No. 1 4 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and
has to be used only for supplying power to this heater.
19. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle in order to prevent any danger of overheating or
arcing. Please remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs
of overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.
20.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way during transpor-
tation.
21.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between one element
of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
22.When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to
get rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ven-
tilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn
it on for the first time.
