Important
• Before connecting the appliance check that the voltage indicated on the type plate
corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
• Read the instructions for use together with the illustrations (page 3) before using the
appliance.
• Use the heater only standing or hanging in a vertical position as illustrated in fig. 1.
• Do not use the appliance (standing upright) before mounting the two stands.
These stands are packed separately.
• Allow ample space around the heater. A safe area to be left free is 20 cm / 8" at the top and
at the sides. If the appliance is used hanging from a wall, allow 15 cm / 6" space below it as
well.
• Keep the air openings free: do not hang anything in front of it or above it. If the heater is
covered there is a fire risk.
• Keep the mains cord at a safe distance from the air inlet opening (A) and from the air outlet
openings (B1, B2).
• The appliance shall not be located below a socket outlet.
• Do not place the heater on extremely deep-pile carpets.
• It may happen, especially if the heater operates on position •• 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.
• For your own safety and that of others: water and electricity are a dangerous combination!
Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming
pool.
• Do not insert any objects into the heater. Ensure that children cannot play with the
appliance.
• 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.

Working
The heating element inside the convector heats
the air. The heated air rises and leaves the
convector at the top (B1). At the same time, cold
air is drawn in at the bottom (A).
(fig. 1 on page 3)
The built-in turbo fan (B2) in type HD 3455
accelerates the outflow of heated air, so that a
room can be heated more rapidly.
Safe positioning
• The heater must not be located below a socket
outlet.
• If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire.
• Position the appliance in such manner that the
air flow, towards the heater and away from it,
are not obstructed.
• Select a safe spot to avoid electrical shock and
the risk of fire. Only touch the heater with dry
hands.
• This appliance can be used as a free-standing
unit by means of the stands (G). However, it
can also be mounted to a (fireproof!) wall using
the wall-brackets (I). This wall should be solid,
flat and fireproof.
