IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

When using electrical heaters, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fi re, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the heater must be used.
IMPORTANT – All packaging should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

OVERHEATING WARNING
WARNING - In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct the heater. Only use supplied

towel rail to hang garments. Do not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air

circulation around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and
a fi re risk. NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater or the air
inlet slots in the base of the heater.

WARNING - THE SURFACES ON THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of fi re that exists
if the heater is accidentally covered.

CAUTION - Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular
attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

For your safety this heater is fi tted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats
for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the
power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will reset automatically, it will continue
to cycle on and off automatically until the reason for overheating is removed.
The display screen may fl ash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the display,
remove the obstruction and hold Enter for 10 seconds.

SUITABLE APPLICATIONS
WARNING - This heater is suitable for normal domestic household purposes and should not be

used in any other type of environment. This product should only be used in the country where it

SERVICING AND REPAIRS
WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the manufacturers

approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualifi ed/competent person, using only exact
manufacturer approved spare parts. When working on the heater, suitable PPE must be worn.
PLEASE NOTE: Lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with the convection eff ect of
electric heaters can cause signifi cant soot deposits to build up on the surface directly above
and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of the heater. Extensive burning of candles or
smoking in the operating environment of this product can produce heavy discolouration within a
few months of use.

OPERATING WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: Remember to observe all safety warnings and precautions when operating the

heater on the automatic or timer modes, either attended or unattended since a fi re risk exists
when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING - If the heater is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, in
accordance with the current wiring regulations BS 7671, minimum clearances
and IP zone requirements must be adhered to. Any area that contains a bath
or shower must be protected by a suitably rated RCD.

WARNING - The electrical installation of this heater must be carried out by a suitably qualifi ed or

trained electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current wiring Regulations BS 7671. The
supply must be connected via a switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably for the appliances
fl ex. Failure to follow these instructions will mean that the manufacturer’s instructions have not

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH

BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE

• This heater must be earthed

• Not suitable for connection via a plug top

• Do not locate the heater immediately below a fi xed electrical point i.e. socket outlet.

The heater is fi tted with a length of fl exible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.0mm² for connection
to the fi xed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box positioned adjacent to the
heater. A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fi xed wiring of the premises in

a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm. Products that are
supplied without a plug are for installation into the fi xed wiring of the property, via a suitable
double pole switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably for the appliances fl ex. Typical fuse
ratings for 230V equipment - Up to 700W = 3A, over 700W = 13A.

In installation the supply cord may be cut to the appropriate length for the electrical connection
point. Excess cable should not be inserted and stored behind the heater.

WARNING: This heater must not be connected to the electricity supply via an external switching
device (such as a timer) or a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility supplier.
Failure to follow this warning could result in the heater’s thermal cut-off being inadvertently reset
and could create a fi re hazard. Cables/fl exes that are supplied pre-fi tted to the product must NOT
be extended.
