Overview
Please read this guide carefully and retain
for future use and maintenance.
This appliance has been designed and
manufactured to the highest international
standards, however, care must be taken
for optimal results and safety. This
appliance also meets the requirements of
EU Directive 2004/106/EC for EMC.
Safety & Care
Our Low Surface Temperature heaters
have been designed and built to the NHS
requirement for safe surface temperatures
which is that no surface which can be
touched by the user will be more than 43
degrees C (at a room temperature of 21
degrees C.) This means that our Low
Surface Temperature heaters out-perform
the European Standard by a significant
margin. The appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning
 Do NOT site the appliance in a corner.
 Do NOT handle the appliance with wet
hands.
 Do NOT use the appliance in workshops
or rooms where excessive dust is
generated or present.
 Ensure that nothing is pushed into any
aperture of this appliance.
 Do NOT touch outlet grille when the
appliance is in use.
 Do NOT cover or restrict any aperture of
the appliance when in use.
 Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
 Do NOT leave the appliance
unattended where young children are
present.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally
operated cut-out (TOC). This is a safety device,
which switches the heater off if, for any reason,
the appliance overheats. The TOC can only be
re-set after the appliance has cooled down.
66000960 Iss 02
In order to re-set the TOC, proceed as follows:
 Switch off appliance and leave for
approximately 10 minutes.
 Switch appliance back on and TOC
will re-set.
 Ensure that the appliance is functioning
correctly. If the TOC control operates
again, the appliance should be checked
by a competent electrician.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn
the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a
risk of overheating.
Cleaning
Always disconnect the heater from the mains before
cleaning. The heater should not require any
maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept
clean. An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is
all that should be necessary.
 Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of
the heater.
 Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any
way bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
 Check that power is available to the heater. The
LED light should be illuminated.
 Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated.
Follow the reset instructions given under the
section headed ‘Thermally Operated Cut-out’.
 Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown.
This can be done by replacing the fuse with
another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then
telephone the helpline number shown in these
instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the
heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a
competent installer, preferably registered with
NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting) in accordance with the 17th
edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and
any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater is
fitted with a 3-core mains supply cable and must be
permanently connected to the electricity supply via
a double pole switch having 3mm gap on each
pole. There are no exceptions.A switched Fused
Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended
mains supply connection accessory to ensure
compliance with safety requirements applicable to
fixed-wiring installation.

appliance may emit a slight smell. This is purely the
evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process.
