1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and
any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also
recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual
Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1 The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1 and 1.1.2
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5 Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none are loose.

1.1.6 Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be
used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8 DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9 DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is damaged,
cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight. Double insulated products, which are always
marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as
indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10 Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with
your electrician.

1.1.11 Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension reel must be used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with
an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least

2.5mm².

3. LAMP INSTALLATION

Fig.1

NOTE! Hold the tube using the protective wrapping provided in its package or with a piece of clean dry cloth. If the tube glass surface
is touched, clean cold tube with alcohol and a soft cloth.
DO NOT touch a lamp just after switching ‘off’ its power supply. Temperature of a halogen lamp surface can exceed 600ºC during its operation.

3.1. Ensure that the lamps are;

a) The correct voltage rating for the power input, see rating plate on rear of unit.
b) Maximum of 1.4kW.

3.2. Remove safety guard on front of heater cassette by loosening and removing all 5 screws and lifting guard in an upward direction.

3.3. Remove tube from outer packaging carefully leaving it in its protective wrapping (Do Not touch halogen lamp quartz glass with bare

hands. Sweat and oils on fingers contain salt components that will cause a weak area and lead to premature lamp failure).
Expose the end caps of the tube and insert one end into one of the lamp holders. Push tube carefully against lamp holder until other end
of tube can be lowered into the other lamp holder.

3.4. Remove protective wrapping from lamp.

3.5. Repeat steps 3.3 for the other lamp.

3.6. Replace safety guard by locating the 3 slots on the bottom of the guard and secure all 5 screws. Do not over tighten.

4. OPERATION

 WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1 before using the heater.

NOTE! The infrared lamp is fragile and therefore it is important that it is not subjected to any unnecessary shocks or vibration and is not moved

when it is on or until cooled down.

IMPORTANT: DURING RELOCATION, THE HEATER SHOULD REMAIN SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY.
In the event of the heater being knocked over, a safety cut-out switch, which activates at an angle of 35º (±10º), will disable the heater.
Follow these steps to re-start the heater.
a) Switch ‘off ’ the heater at the on/off switches. As Fig.2.
b) Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
c) Return the heater to a standing position.
d) Check lamps are inser ted correctly into lamp holders ensuring cooling time has been adhered (you may need to remove the safety
Guard, see 3. Lamp Installation).
e) If no damage has occurred to lamps or lamp holders, replace safety guard if applicable, re-connect power cord to the power supply and
switch the heater back on.
Should the power cord require replacement, a complete wiring loom should be purchased and fitted by a suitably qualified person.

4.1 Ensure the heater is at least 200cm from any object.

4.2 Plug in the heater and switch it on.

4.3 The heater has the following settings: See Fig.2.

Position 0:0 Off position.
Position I:0 Lower element only.
Position 0:I Upper element only.
Position I:I Both elements.

4.4 Make sure the heater plug is disconnected from the mains supply before any
cleaning is attempted. Also allow the heater to cool completely. Do not use water
or other liquids, or harsh abrasive cleaners to clean the heater.

4.5 Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth with some mild detergent.

4.6 When the heater is no longer required, switch off and unplug the unit.

4.7 To replace any of the lamps, contact your authorised Sealey dealer.
