the immediate vicinity of water, such as bathtubs, washbowls, swimming pools etc. where the
likelihood of immersion or splashing could occur.

• WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater, or operate in close
proximity to curtains, etc. Check air inlets and outlets from time to time for accumulated
dust.

• CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such
as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

• Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool.

• Do not leave the heater running unattended.

• Do not operate the product if it is dropped, damaged or showing signs of product malfunction.

• Do not twist or wrap the power cord around the appliance as this may cause the insulation to
weaken and split, particularly where it enters the unit. Fully unwind the cord before use as a
coiled cord may overheat.

• Use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if it is absolutely necessary ensure the
cord is short as possible (long cords coiled up can overheat and cause tripping accidents).

1. To turn on the heater, first turn on switch ‘1’. The top heating element of the heater will now glow.
(Note: the thermostat has no effect in this lowest heat mode).

2. For high heat (without fan-assist), turn on the switches ‘1’ and ‘2’. The top and bottom heating
elements will now glow, and the fan will turn on. Adjust the thermostat as desired.

3. To turn the unit off, select the “OFF” power setting and set the thermostat control to the MIN
position, then unplug the heater at the power point. Allow the heater to cool down before
restarting it, if required.

NOTE: The heater will take some time to cool after the power is shut off. Always wait until it has cooled
down before moving the heater, and then use the built-in carry handle for ease of movement.

NOTE: When turning your heater on for the first time it is normal for the heater

to

emit a ‘new heater’

smell, which will quickly pass. There is no cause for concern. Ensure there is good ventilation.

NOTE: When this device is overheated it is automatically turned off by a special security system. Unplug
the device and let it cool down before activating it again.

Overheating protection

The heater is fitted with an overheating protection which switches the appliance off automatically if it
becomes too hot internally. If this occurs, switch the heater off, unplug it and inspect and remove any
objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. Wait 5-10 minutes for the unit to
cool down.
While this feature provides additional safety in case of overheating, first and foremost you should make
sure to eliminate all potential reasons that can lead to overheating and create a fire rise

THERMOSTAT
Your heater is also fitted with thermostat. This is the large rotary knob situated under the switches.
Heater will maintain the desired room temperature you select by turning the knob. Turn clockwise to
maintain a higher temperature; anti-clockwise for a lower temperature. When the desired room
temperature is reached, the thermostat will automatically switch off the bottom element only. If the room
temperature drops below the desired comfort level, the thermostat will automatically switch the bottom
element back on and so forth, maintaining your desired comfort level.

Preventing

overheating

To prevent overheating, check and ensure that the appliance can sufficiently dissipate the heat generated.
This is particularly important in case the overheat protection has been activated.

•

Is the appliance covered?

Make sure the unit is NOT covered.

•

Is the appliance too close to a wall or other obstacle? Always maintain a minimum clearance of 50cm to

any furniture or wall.

•

Are the grilles on the front or back clear? Make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are free of dust, lint

and

obstructions.

If you cannot eliminate the problem, and the overheating

protection

triggers a second time, contact our

customer service support and arrange for return of the appliance for inspection or repair.

Note: The thermostat has no effect when the heater is in the lowest heat mode. i.e. when only
switch ‘1’ is on.

TIP-OVER PROTECTION

This heater is equipped with a tip-over protection switch that is activated when the heater is tipped from
its vertical position and automatically shuts off the heater. The heater will restart when it is returned to its
normal operating position.

Note: It is normal when the heaters are turned on for the first time or when they are turned on after
having not been used for a long period of time to emit some smell and fumes. This will disappear when
the heater has been on for a short while.

NOTE: Do not place the heater on LONG PILE CARPET OR FLOKATI RUGS. Use a heat board if
necessary.

CLEANING

The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:

• Unplug the heater from the mains supply before cleaning.

• Ensure that the heater has been allowed to cool down first before cleaning.

• Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the heater to remove dust and dirt.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove and dust and fluff from around the grilles.

• Do not allow any water or other liquid to enter the housing or control panel.

• Ensure the heater is dry before plugging back into the mains supply.

CAUTION: Do not use harsh detergents, chemical cleaners or solvents as they may damage the
surface finish of the heater.

Warning: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.

WARNING - Fabric, clothing or other flammable materials may ignite if placed against or in close
proximity to the heater. No flammable materials should be placed within 120cm of the front or
heat outlet and 50cm of sides or rear of the heater. Do not cover the heater. This appliance is for
indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
