WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly
before connecting the product to the mains supply.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity
supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is
designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power
source may cause damage.

This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. 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 because it is not suitable for your socket, or due
to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring
instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion
into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.

If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond
with the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal

which is marked N or coloured Black.

• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal

which is marked L or coloured Red.

• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green 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 via
a Residual Current Device (RCD)

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs
yourself.

SAFETY OVERHEAT SHUT OFF

Your oil filled radiator is fitted with two safety devices.

The first is an anti-tilt switch which turns off the oil filled radiator if it falls over;
simply stand the radiator up again to reset this switch.

The second is a safety overheat device which switches off the oil filled radiator
in the event of overheating caused by any fault condition which induces a
rapid temperature rise.

In the event of the safety overheat device operating, the oil filled radiator will
cease to function until the teperature falls below the cut off point. If this
happen again have your oil filled radiator serviced by an approved service
agent.

The safety device supplied must never be replaced by anyone other than an
approved service agent.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

The oil filled radiator requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:

1. Do not stand on or drop the heater and treat it carefully at all times.

2. Always turn off and unplug the oil filled radiator from the mains supply and
alow it to cool before cleaning.

3. Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the oil filled radiator to remove
dust and dirt.

4. Ensure the oil filled radiator is dry before plugging back into the mains
supply.

5. Do not allow water to run into the interior of the oil filled radiator as this
could create a fire or electric shock hazard.

STORAGE

If the oil filled radiator is not going to be used for long periods, for example
during the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably covered
to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
