Operating your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit
before use. Please follow the below instructions.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.

WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear of

the appliance.

WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-

control system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically,
since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.

WARNING: Never leave this heater unattended.

Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position,
insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.

CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially

pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and

socket and could result in fire.

Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a slight odour or
smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the
internal heating elements and should not occur again.
