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

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

discolouration within a few months of use.

This product meets the Ecodesign requirements for an electric ﬁxed local space heater. Commission Regulation
