Important
• Before connecting the appliance check that the voltage indicated on the type plate
corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
• Read these instructions carefully, in conjunction with the illustrations (page 3) before using
the appliance.
• The appliance is double insulated and need not be connected to an earthed mains outlet.
If you wish to use an extension cord, a 2-wire type is suitable. However, ensure that the
plugs and cord allow high power (16A-220V / 13A-240V AC).
If a reel type is employed, please unroll the cord completely to prevent overheating.
• It may happen, especially if the heater operates on position 2 and another electrical device
is switched on as well, that a fuse or circuit breaker cuts off the mains power. In such a case,
the fuse or circuit breaker may not allow this high electrical power.
You may connect one of the involved appliances to another circuit (employing another fuse
or circuit breaker) or have the electrical installation revised by an authorized electrician.
• The heater is not designed for use as the main form of heating. Use the appliance only for
the intended use, i.e. extra heating in the house.
• To avoid the risk of fire and electrical shock select a safe place for the heater. (See section
"Safe positioning".)
• Do not insert any objects into the heater.
• Ensure that children cannot play with the appliance.
• Attention: the front grille gets hot during use.
• Only touch the heater with dry hands.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their
service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.

Safe positioning
• The heater must not be located immediately
below a socket outlet.
• Only use the fan heater when it is standing in a
horizontal position, on the four feet (as
illustrated in fig. 1).
• For your own safety and that of others: water
and electricity are a dangerous combination!
Do not use this heater in a bathroom or near a
swimming pool.
Ensure that the appliance cannot fall into water
(bath, wash basin, shower cubicle, etc.).
• Do not use the heater in rooms with explosive
gas (e.g. petrol) or while using inflammable glue
or solvent (e.g. when glueing or varnishing
parquet floors, PVC etc.).
(fig. 1 on page 3) • Allow ample space around the heater.
A safe area to be left free is 50 cm / 20" at the
top and at the sides, and 120 cm / 47" at the
front.
• Prevent overheating of the appliance by
keeping the air inlet and outlet grilles free:
do not hang anything in front of it or above it -
otherwise there is a risk of fire.
Check the grilles from time to time for
accumulated dust.
If overheating should occur, the built-in
overheating safety device will switch off the
appliance.
• Keep the mains cord at a safe distance from the
air inlet and outlet grilles.
• Do not allow aerosols, inflammable substances
or materials sensitive to heat to be in the flow of
hot air.
• Do not use the heater on extremely
deep-pile carpets!
• Do not use the heater in an upright position
(see figure).
