CAREFULLY

• Do not use this heater in series with a thermal
control, a program controller, a timer or any other
device that switches on the heater automatically,
since a fire risk exists when the heater is
accidentally covered or displaced.

AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

General

Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging
for possible future use, in the event of moving or
returning the fire to your supplier.

• Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible
material are positioned no closer than 1 metre
from the heater.

This model is designed to be free standing and is
normally positioned against a wall.

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the
fan heater, which is concealed beneath the unit.

Unplug the heater when not required for long
periods.

(Models FIF15 and MRL15, 750W or 1.5kW output).

• Keep supply cord away from the front of the
heater.

A minimum distance of 1 metre (39”) must be
maintained between the front of the heater and any
surrounding furniture, overhanging curtains or other
obstructions.

• Although this heater complies with safety
standards, we do not recommend its use on deep
pile carpets or on long hair type of rugs.

•

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug
is accessible.

Before connecting the heater check that the supply
voltage is the same as that stated on the heater.

• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
