Important Safety Instructions

Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Make sure you understand all instructions
and warnings. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference, along with
any warranty information, your purchase receipt and the original carton. If you sell or
transfer ownership of this product, pass on these instructions to the new owner.

Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:

Electrical Safety and Cord Handling

• Voltage: Before plugging in the heater, make sure your outlet voltage and
frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.

• Electrical circuit: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that already has other appliances working.

• No adaptor, no extension cord: Do not use the heater with a power board or
double adaptor as this may overheat and create a fire risk. Do not use it with
an extension cord because the cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

• Never touch the heater with wet or damp hands or feet.

• Do not use the heater if any part of it has become wet. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any part
of the electrical system that has been wet.

• Never spill liquid into the heater; never immerse the cord, plug or any
part of the appliance in water or any other liquid. Do not reach for an
appliance that has fallen into water. Switch off and unplug immediately.

• Damage: Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service
agent in order to avoid a hazard. Contact our after sales support line to
arrange an examination and/or repair.

• Plug: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose
fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating and distortion of
the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace a loose or worn outlet.

• Protect the power cord:

• Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces.

• Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.

• Arrange the cord away from any traffic area so no one will trip over it.

• Do not run the cord under carpeting; do not cover it with rugs, runners etc.

• Only operate the heater with the power cord fully unwound. Using it with
the cord coiled up could cause overheating and present a hazard.

Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)

• After use: Always disconnect power when the heater is not in use and before
cleaning, servicing or moving the heater. To disconnect the heater, switch it off
and remove the plug from outlet. When disconnecting, grip the plug, do not pull
on the cord.

• Safety switch: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device
(safety switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust openings. Do not block air intakes

not connect it to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

surroundings of a bath, shower or swimming pool. This appliance is not
