Important Safeguards - DeLonghi SFG1031 Instrucciones De Uso

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. If your appliance is equipped with a polythene tape used as carry handle, remove it before connecting
appliance to the outlet.
3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.
4. The front side of the heater must be positioned at least at 2 feet from walls, surfaces or other
objects that can restrain the air flow.
5. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children and whenever the heater is left
operating unattended.
6. Always unplug heater when not in use.
7. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never posi-
tion the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
10. Do not run power cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Keep
the cord away from traffic areas where it could be tripped over.
11. To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
12. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
13. 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.
14. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
15. The internal parts of the appliance can get very hot. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or
flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. 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.
17. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet
(receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
18. It is normal for the plug and cord of the heater to feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
However, an excessively hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and may be the result of a defective
electrical outlet. Defective outlets must be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Repeated use of defec-
tive outlets may cause the cord to overheat, with the risk of causing a fire.
19. We do not recommend using extension cords, which can overheat and increase the risk of fire.
However, an extension cord with 14 AWG gauge or larger and rating of no less than 1875 W may be
used if necessary, but should not be shared with other electrical appliances.
20. Make sure that the power cord plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time,
so check the plug periodically for signs of overheating or deformation, in which case stop using the outlet
and have it repaired.
21. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way during transportation.
22. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material are left in ventilation or exhaust open-
ings.
23. When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to
get rid of possible unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is placed is well
ventilated during this operation.
24. CAUTION: to prevent electric shock shock, make sure the wide prong of the plug is inserted in the
wide slot of the outlet.
25. CAUTION: DO NOT COVER - HIGH TEMPERATURES keep electrical cords, drapery and other fur-
nishing at least at 3 feet (90 cm) from the front of the heater and away from the side and rear.
26. Disconnect the heater from the electrical outlet before any maintenance/cleaning operation is
undertaken.
