Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with
this type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a
safe place for future reference, along with any warranty information and your
purchase receipt. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Connect the appliance to a single-phase AC supply of the voltage
specified on the rating plate.
• Electrical outlet: Always plug this heater into a separate power point,
which must stand a minimum 10A load. Use a safe socket with an earthed
connection. To ensure you do not overload the electrical circuit, do not operate
another high-wattage product on the same electrical circuit. Do not place the
heater immediately below an electrical outlet.
• No extension cord: Do not use this heater with an extension cord as this may
overheat and cause a risk of fire. Do not use a plug adaptor.
• Protect the heater from moisture. Never touch the heater with wet or damp
hands or feet. Never expose it to water (including rain) or other liquids. Never
use the heater in a bathroom, laundry or similar indoor area; never use it in the
immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or swimming pool, or where it may
fall into a bathtub or any other water container.
• Protect the power cord. Do not put it on top of the heater, or expose it to hot
surfaces. Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the
product, as the power cord could fray and break. Do not run the cord under
carpeting or cover it with throw rugs, runners etc. Arrange the cord away from
traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
• Damage: Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after it
malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. In case of damage,
contact our after sales support centre for advice on return or repair.

Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• WARNING: Disconnect! Never leave the heater unattended while it is in
use. Always switch it off and unplug it from the power point when not in
use and before moving it. To disconnect the heater, turn the controls to the
OFF position and then remove the plug from the outlet. Grip the plug when
disconnecting, do not pull on the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

Getting Started
Unpacking
• Carton: This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have
made sure your new heater is undamaged and in good working order. The
carton is recyclable. We recommend you keep it for safe storage of the heater
when it is not in use. Otherwise reuse the carton and recycle it when disposing
of the packaging materials.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children,
so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Cord: Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect it and the plug for
damage. Do not use the heater if the appliance or its cord have been damaged
or are not working properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support
centre for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.
• Documentation: Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all the parts
and operating principles of the heater. Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions on the previous pages.
• Wheels: The heater is packaged with the feet (castor wheel assemblies) unat-
tached. You must attach them before turning on the heater.
Assembly
• Unpack the castor wheel assemblies and wing nuts.
• Put a soft covering on a table or benchtop and carefully lay the heater on top
with the bottom end at the edge of the table.
• Position a castor wheel assembly on the two protruding screws, threading
through the inner holes in the mounting plate. Do not loosen the screws.
• Secure the wheel assembly using two wing nuts, but do not overtighten. Affix
the second castor wheel assembly the same way at the other end of the heater.
• Turn the heater in upright position after the castor wheels are properly fitted.

Introduction
This 2-in-1 Radiant Convection Heater features specially designed internal
structures with large aluminium conductive fins to distribute heat in two
directions: radiant heat through the heat outlet grille at the front, and strong
natural convection heat through the heat outlets at the top. Double reflectors
help protect your floor coverings in front of the heater.
Positioning the Heater
Place the heater in an upright position on a flat, steady, stable, heat-resistant
surface. Make sure there are no flammable or heat sensitive materials or
substances within 1 metre of the heater. Operating the heater in any other
position could cause a hazard.
Connecting the Heater
• The heater is suitable for operation on an AC power supply having the same
voltage listed on the rating label (220-240V 50Hz).
• Before you insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet, ensure the heater is intact,
properly assembled and the cord is undamaged. To avoid overloading a circuit,
only plug the heater into a circuit that has no other appliances connected.
• With both controls set to the Off and minimum positions, insert the plug into
an appropriately installed wall socket and switch on power to the outlet.
• The heater has four heating elements, which can be operated on four heat
settings. It also features a thermostat, which can be set to control the
temperature when three or four elements are switched on. Operation is
explained in detail on the opposite page.
Instructions
WARNING!
• Do not operate the heater without the castor wheel assemblies attached.
• Only operate the heater in an upright position (wheels on the bottom,
controls at the top), any other position could create a hazard.

output has been selected (settings or ).
• Turn the control from low to high while heat
setting is selected, or heat setting for
most warmth.

FAQs
If you encounter problems with your heater, check in the list of frequently asked
questions below for solutions to common problems. If none of the suggested
solutions help you solve the problem, or if you experience any other problems
with your heater, do not try and manage them by yourself. Contact our after sales
support centre for advice on repair or replacement.
Will I save energy when I run the heater on the low power setting?
That depends. Running the heater on a low power setting will not require as
much electrical current, however, it will also not provide as much heat output as
on the high power setting. So you may need to run it for longer to warm up the
room.
Can I use the heater with an extension cord?
No. If an extension cord is used with a heater the cord may overheat and cause a
fire risk.
Can I dry clothes on the heater?
No, never place clothes or other items directly on top of the heater as they will
block the convection heat outlets at the top, which presents a fire risks and can
lead to overheating and damage to the appliance. To assist with drying clothes or
towels, hang them up in the vicinity of the heater, but without them touching the
appliance; clothing and other flammable items must be at least 1m away from
the heater.
My heater was knocked over and it stopped heating.
When the heater is knocked over, the automatic tip-over switch activates and
stops heating as a safety precaution. It should work properly again once you
have placed the appliance in a normal, upright position and reset the controls.

into the interior of the product, as this could create a fire and/or electrical
hazard.
• Do not use any chemical cleaners such as detergents or solvents, alkaline or
abrasive products, on any part of the heater.
Care and cleaning
• To clean dust and dirt off the heater, wipe the exterior surfaces only with a soft
cloth or brush, moistened, if necessary, but not wet.
• Alternatively, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove
dust from around the air outlet and intake grilles.
Storage
