Safety features
The heater is fitted with a tipping safeguard which automatically shuts off the
appliance if it inadvertently falls over. When the heater is returned to its upright
position, it will resume functioning as normal but, before reusing, switch off, unplug
and check for damage. Do not use the heater if it is damaged or malfunctioning, but
have it inspected/repaired!
In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off.
This may occur if the heater cannot give off enough heat or if it cannot draw in
enough fresh air. As mentioned above, this is generally caused by (partially) covering
the heater, blocking the air inlet and outlet openings or installing the heater too close
to a wall or something similar. When the heater has cooled down sufficiently, it will in
principle start again automatically, however if you do not remove the cause of the cut-
off then this will probably be repeated. Regular overheating can give rise to
irreparable damage.
If the overheating protection switches the heater off, you must switch off the power
buttons (buttons raised), unplug and allow the heater to cool down. Remove and/or
amend the cause of overheating and reuse the heater as normal. If you cannot find a
cause and overheating recurs, stop using the heater, and take it in for
inspection/repair.
Als extra veiligheidsvoorziening heeft de kachel een tweede oververhittings-
beveiliging die in werking treedt als de eerste mocht haperen. Als deze de kachel
uitschakelt, treedt die na afkoeling niet automatisch weer in werking: U dient eerst de
kachel uit te schakelen met de vermogenknoppen en de stekker uit het stopcontact
te nemen. Na afkoeling kunt u de kachel dan weer in gebruik nemen.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common
cause of overheating so these should be removed regularly. Switch off the heater,
remove the plug from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning or
carrying out maintenance work.
Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or
chemical solutions!
Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from the grills.
The heater contains no other parts which need maintenance.
At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater in the original packaging if
possible. Store upright in a cool, dry and dust-free place. If necessary, remove
the wheel supports.
Do not dispose of heater with household waste when if becomes worn or
damaged beyond repair. Take it to your local authority's collection point for
electrical appliances where any reusable materials will be collected and
redistributed.
