- Placement: Position the heater on a stable, level surface. Maintain a safe distance from combustible materials (walls, curtains, furniture, etc.).
- Electrical Connection: Connect the heater to a properly grounded electrical outlet (AC 220-240V~50Hz). Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary and ensure they are rated for the heater's power requirements.
- Supervision: Do not leave the heater unattended during operation. Keep children and pets away from the appliance.
- Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance as described in this manual. Disconnect the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
- Exhaust: Ensure the exhaust gases are properly vented to the outside via a dedicated exhaust pipe.
- Safety Features: The heater is equipped with multiple safety protections including automatic shutdown for faults, flameout protection, overheat protection, and overcurrent protection. Do not attempt to bypass or disable these features.
