IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

IMPORTANT: The wall bracket supplied with the appliance must be used.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF A

BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING POOL.

IMPORTANT: If the heater is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, it must

be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person using

a bath or shower.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not locate the heater immediately below a ﬁxed socket outlet or connection box.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not place material

or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater, for instance

by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a ﬁre risk.

NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater or

the air inlet slots in the base of the heater.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of ﬁre that

exists if the heater is accidentally covered.

CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular

attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge

if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in

a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be

made by children without supervision.

Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/o the appliance

provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position

and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance

in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and

less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user

maintenance.

Note that due care and consideration must be taken when using this heater in series

with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that switches

on the heat automatically, since a ﬁre risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered

or displaced.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent

or a similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING: Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the

manufacturers approved service agent or a similarly qualiﬁed person, using only exact

manufacturer approved spare parts.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent electrician, and be in strict

accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH

BLUE: NEUTRAL

BROWN: LIVE

The heater is ﬁtted with a length of ﬂexible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.0mm2 for

connection to the ﬁxed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box

positioned adjacent to the heater.

A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the ﬁxed wiring of the premises in

accordance with the wiring rules. The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a

double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm.

DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IF IT HAS BEEN DROPPED.

DO NOT USE IS THERE ARE VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.

USE THIS HEATER ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE, OR FIX IT TO THE WALL AS

APPLICABLE.

WARNING:

Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons

not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of ﬁre keep textiles, curtains or any other ﬂammable

material a minimum distance of 1 metre from the air outlet.

Supplementary Earth Bonding

Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing conductor in the supply

cord is deemed to provide the supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation

544.2.5, 17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).

Please note that lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with the convection

eect of electric heaters can cause soot deposits to build up on the surface directly

above and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of the heater. Extensive burning

of candles or smoking in the operating environment of this product can produce heavy

discolouration within a few months of use.
