ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Regularly inspect the power cable / plugs to be used with this heater
and DO NOT use the heater if the power cable is damaged.

• Minimise the risk of electric shock by installing a RCCB (Residual Current
Circuit Breaker).

• Make sure that the voltage on the rating plate is the same as the
voltage of the power supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• DO NOT abuse any electrical cable used with this heater. 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.

instructions and have been trained in its use.

• DO NOT obstruct the air inlet and outlet sections of the heater.

• DO NOT cover the heater.

• DO NOT touch the heater casing or grille when first switched off, as these
will be very hot and will take time to cool.

• DO NOT get the heater wet or use in areas of high condensation.

• DO NOT allow the power cable to touch hot surfaces.

• DO NOT connect other appliances to the same mains socket as the
heater.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.
If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.

If the plug has to be changed due to damage, a replacement should be
fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be
disposed of as insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.

terminal which is
marked L or coloured
Red.

•The Yellow/Green wire
