ing to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or damage to
persons.
CAUTION: The heater should not be operated with an
accumulation of dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can
cause a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this
reason the heater must be inspected regularly, depending
upon conditions and at least at yearly intervals.
The outer surface can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.
!NOTE: Do not use scouring powder or furniture polish,
as these can damage the surface.
Dust that collects within the unit can be removed from the
outside using a vacuum cleaner.
Maintenance
WARNING: A minimum distance of 3 ft. (0.9 m) must be
maintained in front of the heater.
WARNING: This heater must be properly installed before
it is used.
The manual controls are located on the right hand side, at
the top of the appliance.
1. Press the power button to power on the unit. An indica-
tor light beside the power button shows when the unit is
powered on.
2. The indicator light below the heat symbol is illuminated
when the elements are actually heating.
!NOTE: Should the heater overheat, an automatic ther-
mal cut out will turn the heater off. The heater will reactivate
once the heater has cooled.
Controlling the temperature
The heater is tted with an adjustable thermostat, enabling
the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider
accordingly.
1. The frost protector setting (*) represents a room tem-
perature of approximately 5 °C (41 °F) and may be used
for protection against frost.
2. The MAX setting represents a room temperature of ap-
proximately 30 °C (86 °F).
3. Adjust the slider to your individual comfort level. When
the room temperature has reached the desired level, the
power to the elements will be reduced. The heater will
then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
