ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Electrical appliances must match the power outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any
way. DO NOT use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Correct
plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. DO NOT abuse the electrical cable. NEVER use the cable for pulling or
unplugging the heater. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
3. Keep the power cable well away from machines and ensure an adequate electrical
supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the length of the
cable.
4. ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before moving the heater or
performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
5. Inspect the mains cable regularly for signs of damage. DO NOT use if it is
damaged, and ALWAYS keep it away from the source of heat.

elements are damaged or broken. Any damage should be properly repaired or the
part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use. Consult your local CLARKE dealer.

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE POWER
SUPPLY.
The 230V models are provided with a 13 Amp BS 1363 plug, fitted with a 13 Amp fuse
and MUST be connected to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply, preferably
through a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket or because of
damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following the wiring
instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely as insertion into a
power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
The wires in the mains lead
should be wired up in
accordance with the following
colour code:
•Connect the GREEN &
YELLOW wire to the plug
terminal marked with a
letter E.
Earth
(Green and
Yellow)
Neutral
(Blue)
Always fit
a 13 Amp
fuse.
Live
(Brown)
•Connect the BROWN
wire to the plug terminal
marked a letter “L”.
•Connect the BLUE wire to the plug terminal marked a letter “N”.
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a
Residual Current Device (RCD).
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical repairs

FITTING/REPLACING TUBES
Before attempting to fit/replace halogen tubes, make sure that the heater is switched
off and isolated from the electrical supply by removing the plug from the socket.
NEVER handle the halogen tubes with bare hands. Always handle using either a soft
clean glove or a piece of soft clean cloth wrapped around the lamp.
1. Loosen and remove the retaining screws on the top and bottom of the unit
securing the front cover, remove the guard and store removed parts safely.
2. To remove the tube, grasp and gently but firmly push it to one end of the heater.
The tube holders are spring loaded and will allow the tube sufficient movement to
clear the opposite holder.
3. Remove the tube and dispose of it according to local regulations.
4. Fit new halogen tube in reverse order.
5. Replace the guard and cover using the screws removed earlier.
6. Make sure all fixings are secure and tight.
The heater is now ready for use again.
PERIODICALLY
1. If there is any serious build up of dirt, wipe the exterior thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Take care that no moisture enters the heater. Take care NOT to touch the
tubes with your fingers.
2. Inspect the power cable for damage. Undue heat will cause the cable to stiffen
and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced. Check cable routing and
ensure it is well away from the heat source.
3. Ensure heating tube is clear of dust (use compressed air to clean if possible,
ALWAYS wear a dust mask and safety glasses if performing this operation).
4. Refer to your CLARKE dealer if internal repair is required.
5. When storing the heater, allow it to cool down, then place it in its packing box for
