Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
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.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they have
been adequately supervised by a responsible
adult to ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• 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 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
• This heater becomes hot during use. To avoid
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 sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol,
paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
• To prevent overheating, do not cover the
heater.
• When turned on for the first time, your
new heater will emit a slight odour for
up to 8 hours. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used. It is safe, not
detrimental to the performance of the heater
and will not reoccur. Sunbeam advises that
the heater be placed in a well ventilated
area during this period.
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 Total Safety System
Safety auto shut-off
Your Sunbeam Convection Plus Heater is
equipped with a safety system that detects
any abnormally high temperatures within the
heater and automatically cuts power to the
heating element, preventing overheating.
Once the heater has cooled it will
automatically resume normal operation.
Thermal back-up fuse
In addition to this automatic shut-off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If the
heater is in an overheat situation, the backup fuse will open, stopping the power flow
to the heating element. This fuse cannot
be reset, so in the event that the back-up
fuse is activated, the heater will need to be
replaced.
Instant tip-over cut-out
Your Sunbeam Convection Plus Heater is also
equipped with an instant tip over cut-out
switch. This switch automatically interrupts
the power flow to the heating element when
the heater is tilted to a certain angle. If
the heater is tipped over, it will not turn on
until it has been placed back in the upright
position.
Note: The tip over cut-out switch will activate
when the heater is tilted forward, backward
or sideways. Care should be taken to ensure
your heater remains upright at all times.
