WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE HEATER TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.

Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or 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.

WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE
COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW AND GREEN = EARTH

If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings
on the plug:

• The BLUE wire must be
connected to the
terminal which is
marked N or coloured
black.

• The BROWN wire must
be connected to the
terminal which is
marked L or coloured
red.

• The YELLOW AND
GREEN wire must be

connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured green.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
through a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB).

If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician.

safe distance from flammable
materials. Keep a minimum of 2m
clearance all round.

6. Once the room reaches the required temperature, the heating element
will stop working and will come back on automatically to maintain a
constant temperature in the room.

7. Turn the thermostat control slowly counter-clockwise until the thermostat
clicks off to set the running temperature. Leave the control in this position.

8. When not in use, disconnect the heater from the mains supply.

SAFETY SYSTEMS

The Devil 2850 has a thermal cut out to prevent the unit from overheating.

If the temperature of the front grille gets too high the thermal cutout will turn
off the heating elements. When the fan has cooled the unit sufficiently, normal
operation will resume.

In the event of the heater falling over, the tip-over switch will cut off the power
until it is set upright again.
