Cleaning and maintenance
The convector should not require any maintenance. However
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the con-
vector from the mains and wait for it to cool (this should take
around 5 minutes). It is sufficient to remove external dust with a
soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive powders or solvents. If neces-
sary, remove concentrated areas of dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Warnings
- Do not use the convector in a bathroom or in the vicinity of
bathtubs, wash basins, showers or swimming pools.
- Never use the convector to dry laundry.
- Never place the power cable on top of the convector while it is
hot.
- Only use the convector in an upright position.
- Do not block the outlet grilles at the top of the convector or the
intake grille at the bottom of the convector .
- The convector must be positioned at least 50cm from furniture
or other objects.
- If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, an authorised service centre or a qualified electrician in
order to eliminate all risk.
- Do not use this convector in rooms which have a floor area
smaller than 4m 2 .
- We recommend that you do not place the convector in a draught
as this may adversely affect the convector ’s operational efficiency.
- The convector must never be placed immediately under a fixed
mains socket.
- A safety device intervenes and turns the convector off in the
event of overheating or because the convector is positioned in a
strong draught of air. To reactivate the convector , remove the
plug from the mains, allow the convector to cool (for about 5
mins), remove the cause of the overheating/draught and then plug
the convector back into the mains and turn it back on.
- The use of an extension lead is not recommended, as overheating of
the extension lead may occur during the operation of the convector
- In order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of
the safety system, this convector must not be powered through
an external timer.
- As with any electrical convector , whilst the instructions aim to
cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common
sense should be applied when operating your convector , particu-
larly in the vicinity of young children.
Important: never cover this convector in any manner what-
soever while it is operating as this could lead to dangerous
overheating.
