Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.
If provided, use handles when moving this
heater. Keep combustible materials such as
furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and
curtains at least 3 feet (90cm) away from the
front of the heater and keep them away from
the sides and rear.

• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the heater is left unattended.

• Always unplug the heater when not in use.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not run the cord of the heater under
carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw
rugs, runners or other floor coverings. Arrange
the cord away from traffic areas where it will
not be tripped over.

• Do not locate the heater immediately below a
socket outlet.

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

• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter
any ventilation or exhaust openings as this may
cause electric shock or fire, or damage to the
heater.

• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air
intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use
on soft surfaces, such as beds, where opening
may become blocked.

• A heater has hot and arcing or sparing parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol,
paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

Safety auto shut off

Your Sunbeam Oscillating Digital Ceramic
Heater is equipped with a safety system
that detects any abnormally high
temperatures within the heater and
automatically shuts it off to prevent
overheating. This first stage of the safety
system requires the user to manually reset
the heater for it to resume operation.

For instructions on how to reset your
heater, see page 8.

Thermal back-up fuse

In addition to this automatic cut off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If
the heater is in an overheat situation, the
back-up fuse will open, stopping the power
flow to the ceramic heating discs and fan.
This fuse cannot be reset, so in the event
that the back-up fuse is activated, the
heater will need to be replaced.
