P/N 035-00431-000, Rev 1 Artwork 043-50189-000 GUIDE D'UTILISATION SUPER OFF APPAREIL DE CHAUFFAGE CÉRAMIQUE QUICK HEATMD Modèles HZ-315 et HZ-316, et modèles HZ-315C et HZ-316C La marque de commerce Honeywell est utilisée par Kaz, Inc., avec l'autorisation de Honeywell Intellectual Properties, Inc. IMPORTANTES INSTRUCIONS DE SÉCURITÉ L'utilisation d'appareils électriques nécessite des précautions élémentaires afin de réduire les risques d'incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessures. Parmi les précautions à observer, on compte les suivantes : 1. Lire toutes les instructions avant d'utiliser cet appareil de chauffage. 2. Cet appareil devient chaud lorsqu'il fonctionne. Afin de prévenir les brûlures, éviter le contact entre la peau nue et les surfaces chaudes. Si l'appareil est muni de poignées, utiliser les poignées pour déplacer l'appareil. S'assurer que les matières combustibles comme les meubles, les oreillers, la literie, le papier, les vêtements et les rideaux se trouvent à au moins 0,9 m (3 pieds) du devant de l'appareil et qu'elles n'entrent pas en contact avec les côtés et l'arrière de l'appareil. 3. La plus grande prudence est recommandée au moment d'utiliser tout appareil de chauffage en présence d'enfants ou de personnes handicapées ou dans le cas où l'appareil est laissé sans surveillance. 4. Toujours débrancher l'appareil de chauffage quand celui-ci ne sert pas. 5. Éviter d'utiliser tout appareil de chauffage dont la fiche ou le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé. Éviter également d'utiliser l'appareil si celui-ci a montré des signes de mauvais fonctionnement, si on l'a laissé tomber ou s'il a été endommagé de quelque façon que ce soit. Retourner l'appareil à un centre de service autorisé pour un examen, un réglage électrique ou mécanique ou une réparation. 6. Ne pas utiliser l'appareil en plein air. 7. Cet appareil de chauffage a les caractéristiques électriques assignées suivantes : 1500 W, 120 V c.a. Il est conçu pour être utilisé sur une table, un bureau ou un plancher. Il ne doit pas être utilisé dans un endroit humide ou mouillé, comme dans une salle de bains ou une salle de lessive. S'il s'avère nécessaire d'utiliser une rallonge, cette dernière doit être d'une grosseur minimum de 14 AWG et calibrée pour pas moins de 1 875 watts. 8. Éviter de faire passer le cordon d'alimentation sous les tapis ou de le couvrir d'une carpette, d'un chemin de couloir, etc. Éloigner le cordon des endroits très passants et de là où l'on risquerait de trébucher dessus. 9. Ce produit est équipé d'une fiche polarisée (fiche dont l'une des lames est plus large que l'autre). Afin de diminuer le risque de choc électrique, cette fiche ne peut être insérée que d'une seule manière dans la prise de courant polarisée. Si la fiche ne pénètre pas complètement dans la prise, tourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne s'insère toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un électricien. ÉVITER de contourner le dispositif de sécurité que constitue la fiche polarisée. 10. Durant son fonctionnement, cet appareil de chauffage tire 5 ampères. Afin de ne pas surcharger le circuit, éviter de brancher l'appareil sur un circuit qui alimente déjà d'autres appareils en marche. 11. Il est normal que la fiche soit un peu chaude au toucher. Cependant, une mauvaise connexion entre la sortie de courant alternatif (prise de courant) et la fiche pourrait provoquer un échauffement excessif et la déformation de la fiche. Demander à un électricien de remplacer la prise de courant défectueuset. 12. Pour débrancher l'appareil de chauffage, régler les dispositifs de contrôle à OFF, puis tirer sur la fiche pour l'enlever de la prise de courant. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon d'alimentation. 13. S'assurer qu'aucun corps étranger ne pénètre dans les ouvertures prévues pour la ventilation ou l'évacuation, au risque de recevoir une décharge électrique, de déclencher un incendie ou d'endommager l'appareil de chauffage. 14. Afin de prévenir un incendie, éviter de boucher de quelque façon que ce soit les orifices d'admission ou d'évacuation d'air. Éviter de placer l'appareil sur une surface molle comme un lit, ce qui pourrait boucher les orifices. 15. Un appareil de chauffage contient des pièces chaudes et susceptibles de produire des étincelles. à ...
