GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. This heater is for indoor use only.
2. Do not expose the heater or power cable to rain or wet conditions. Any
water entering the heater will increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT
use this heater in a bathroom, shower room or any other wet environment.
3. Do not place the heater closer than 1 metre from any combustible
materials such as curtains, furniture etc.
4. Do not place the heater close to an adjacent wall or low ceiling. Allow a
distance of at least 1 metre from a wall or ceiling. Avoid placing the heater
directly below any power socket outlets.
5. Make sure that the wire guard is not covered.
6. Do not operate the heater in an explosive atmosphere such as in the
presence of flammable gases, dust or vapours, such as in a paint spray
booth or any explosive environment.
7. Never stand the heater on a vehicle where it could tip over.
8. Do not allow the halogen tubes to become covered with dust which could
become a fire hazard. If used in a dusty workplace the heater should be
cleaned as described under Cleaning and Maintenance.
9. Do not touch the halogen tubes for at least 15 minutes after switching off.
10. Do not leave the heater unattended.
11. If children are present always use with a fireguard.
12. Store the heater out of the reach of children and do not allow any person
unfamiliar with these instructions to operate it.
13. Do not use this heater with a programmable timer used to switch it on

14. Only use in an upright position. The tilt safety switch should operate if the
heater tips over.
15. Always move the heater using the handles provided and avoid trapping
the fingers between the handle and the heater body.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Electrical appliances must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances.
Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cable for pulling or
unplugging the heater. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,

4
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [e-mail] or [e-mail]
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk
of electric shock.
3. Keep the mains cable well away from any machinery and ensure an
adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not
restricted by the length of the cable.
4. ALWAYS disconnect from the mains supply before moving the heater, or
performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
5. Inspect the mains cable regularly for signs of damage. DO NOT use if it is
damaged, and ALWAYS keep it away from the source of heat.
6. Check the heater for damage before use. DO NOT use if the halogen
tubes are damaged or broken. Any damage should be properly repaired
or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use. Consult your local Clarke
dealer.
SERVICE & REPAIRS
1. If necessary, have your heater repaired by a qualified person using
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
appliance is maintained.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
DEVIL 370PB & 370SPB 230VOLT HEATER UNITS
The 370 models are provided with a 13 amp BS 1363 plug, fitted with a 13amp

preferably through a suitably fused isolator switch.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead should be wired up in accordance
with the following colour code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible cable of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

If this appliance is found to be fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the
electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the
correct replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local Clarke dealer.
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
DEVIL 371PB & 371SPB 110VOLT HEATER UNITS
The 371 models MUST be connected to a 110 Volt, 1 phase 50Hz supply through
a suitably fused isolator switch. ON NO ACCOUNT MUST A 230V, 13AMP
(BS1363) PLUG BE USED.
NOTE: If a portable 110V transformer is used, make sure it has a rated
capacity sufficient to take the load of the heater.
In the event that the heater is hard wired into the electrical system, it must be
carried out in accordance with IEE regulations.
Any power supply provided by the user must be comparable with the power
cable supplied with the heater, and any additional cables should not be
allowed to cause a trip hazard.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical

OPERATION
1. Place the heater where needed and lock the braked caster(s) to prevent it
from moving. When moving the heater use the handles.
2. Slacken the locking knobs and rotate the heater body to the required
angle. Tighten the knobs on each side to lock into place (SP models only).
3. Connect the mains cable to a suitable power supply.
4. Use the on/off switches to turn on either one, or both halogen tubes.
IMPORTANT: When using the SP model heaters, avoid tilting the heater
downwards even though the tilt safety switch may cut in to prevent
overheating of both the heater and the floor.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
If the heater has been in use always disconnect it from the power supply and
let it cool down for at least 15 minutes before performing any cleaning or
maintenance tasks.
PERIODICALLY
• If there is a build up of dirt, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth. Take
care that no moisture enters the heater. Take care NOT to touch the
halogen tubes with your fingers.
• Check the mains cable for damage. Heat will cause the cable to
stiffen and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced. Check
cable routing and ensure it is well away from the heat source.
• Ensure halogen tubes are free of dust (use compressed air to clean if
possible. (ALWAYS wear a dust mask if performing this operation)
• Refer to your Clarke dealer if internal maintenance is required.
• When storing the heater, let it cool down, then keep it in a dry,
ventilated place.
FITTING/ REPLACING QUARTZ HALOGEN TUBES
Before attempting to fit/replace halogen tubes, ensure the heater is switched
off and isolated from the electrical supply.
Never hold the halogen tubes with bare hands. Always handle using either a
soft clean glove or a piece of soft clean cloth wrapped around the tube.
