• Operating temperature range -10 to +40
ºC
• The heater MUST be fully secured in the
vertical position before being switched
on.
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. This will reset automatically
once the appliance cools down.
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.
• Check that the thermal cut-out has not
operated. This will reset once the appliance has
cooled down.
• 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
latest 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.
Note: When switched on for the first time the
appliance may emit a slight smell. This is purely the
evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
