use this heater in a bathroom, shower room or any other wet environment.

3. NEVER locate the heater near combustible materials such as curtains,
furniture etc. Allow at least 1 metre distance.

4. DO NOT locate the heater close to an adjacent wall or low ceiling. Allow a
distance of at least 1 metre from a wall or ceiling. Avoid placing the heater
directly below power socket outlets.

5. Take care to ensure that the wire guard cannot be covered.

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.

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 wire to the
plug terminal marked
with a letter E or

• 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 yourself.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

If the heater has been used, always allow it to cool down for at least 15
minutes and disconnect from the power supply before performing any
maintenance tasks.

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 two pozidrive screws securing the wire guard,
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 tubes in reverse order.

5. Replace the guard using the screws removed earlier.

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 tubes are clear of dust (use compressed air to clean if
possible. (ALWAYS wear a dust mask 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 storage in a dry, ventilated place.
