appliance at set times, position the pointer (D) in the L position and proceed as follows:
• Check the time on your clock or watch. If it is 10.00 for example, turn the numbered programmer
disk until the number 10 coincides with the pointer marked on the programmer.
• Set the periods of time during which you want the appliance to operate by pushing the teeth outwards.
Each tooth corresponds to a period of 15 min. At the end of this procedure, sectors corresponding
to the operating periods can be seen.
• In this way, the appliance will function automatically each day at the times set. (Important: the
appliance must always be plugged into the socket)
• To modify programming, return the teeth to the initial position and set the new operating periods.
• To turn the appliance off completely, turn the dial (A) to the "0" position and unplug from the mains
to avoid the programmer operating uselessly.
9. Maintenance
Always unplug from the mains socket before cleaning.
The convector heater requires no special maintenance. It is sufficient to remove dust with a soft dry
cloth. Clean when cold only. Never use abrasive powders or solvents.
WARNINGS
Important: to avoid the safety system resetting accidentally, this appliance must not be powered
through an external timer.
• The first time you use the appliance, operate it for at least 15 minutes with the thermostat at maxi-
mum to eliminate the "new" smell. A little smoke due to the protective substances applied to the
heating element before transport may be given off.
• Do not use the convector heater near bath tubs, showers, sinks or swimming pools. The appliance
must not be placed directly under a fixed socket.
• Do not rest the power cable on the appliance when hot.
• Always use the heater in a vertical position only.
• Do not obstruct the hot air outlet grilles or the air intake grille on the bottom of the appliance.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service cen-
tre or a qualified electrician in order to eliminate all risk.
• Do not use this appliance in rooms measuring less than 4m². You should avoid positioning it in cur-
rents of air which could disturb operation of the heater.
A safety device trips and turns the appliance off in the event of overheating or if it is placed in strong
currents of air. To reset, unplug the appliance from the mains socket and leave to cool down (about
five minutes), remove the cause of overheating, plug back into the mains and turn on again. A num-
ber of models are fitted with a special device which turns power off if the appliance is tipped over,
sloped or knocked. If this occurs, you will hear a beep.
Important: To avoid overheating, never under any circumstances cover the appliance during
operation as this would lead to a dangerous rise in temperature.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this applian-
ce must not be powered through an external switching device such as a timer, or connected to a cir-
cuit that is regularly switched on and off by the power provider.
