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. ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before moving the heater, or
performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
4. 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.
5. Inspect the power cable regularly for signs of damage. DO NOT use if it is
damaged, and ALWAYS keep it away from the source of heat.
6. Check the heater for damage before use. Any damage should be
properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use. Consult
your local Clarke dealer.
SERVICE & REPAIRS
1. If necessary, have your heater repaired by a qualified person using
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
appliance is maintained.
WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE POWER SUPPLY.
The 230v model is provided with a 13 amp BS 1363 plug, fitted with a 13amp
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.
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.
The wires in the mains lead should be
wired up in accordance with the
following colour code:
• Connect the GREEN & YELLOW
coloured wire to the plug
terminal marked with a letter E
or or coloured GREEN or
GREEN & YELLOW.
• Connect the BROWN coloured
wire to the plug terminal
marked a letter “L” or coloured RED
• Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked a letter
“N” or coloured BLACK.
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).
The 110V model is fitted with a 32 amp, three pin industrial plug to EN 60309
and MUST be connected to a 110-130 volt, 1 phase 50Hz supply through a
suitably fused isolator switch. On no account must a 230V, 13amp (BS1363)
plug be used.
NOTE: If a portable 110V transformer is used, make sure it has a rated
capacity sufficient to take the load of the heater.
In the event that the heater is hard wired into the electrical system, it must be
carried out in accordance with IEE regulations.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical
repairs yourself.
