Important Safety Instructions
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. Make sure you
understand all instructions and warnings. Keep the manual in a safe place
for future reference, along with any warranty information, your purchase
receipt and carton. If you sell or transfer ownership of this product, pass on
these instructions to the new owner.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention
measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before plugging in the heater, make sure your outlet voltage and
frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Electrical circuit: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
• No adaptor, no extension cord: Do not use the heater with a power board or
double adaptor as this may overheat and create a fire risk. Do not use it with
an extension cord because the cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
• Never touch the heater with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not use the heater if any part of it has become wet. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any part
of the electrical system that has been wet.
• Never spill liquid into the heater. Protect the heater from moisture. Do not
expose it to spray and/or dripping water. Do not place objects filled with
liquid, such as vases or open drink containers, on or near the heater.
• Damaged cord: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Contact the after sales support line for advice.
• Damaged heater: Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged. Contact
our after sales support line to arrange an examination and/or repair.
• Plug: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose
fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating and distortion of
the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace a loose or worn outlet.
• Protect the power cord:
• Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces.
• Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.
• Arrange the cord away from any traffic area so no one will trip over it.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting; do not cover it with rugs, runners etc.
• Only operate the heater with the power cord fully unwound.

• After use: Always disconnect power when the heater is not in use and
before cleaning, servicing or moving the heater.
• Disconnect: To disconnect the heater, switch it off and remove the plug
from the outlet. When disconnecting, grip the plug, do not pull on the cord.
• Safety switch: 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.

the underside of the heater. Take care when unpacking the heavy base, it
also contains the decorative washer.
• Remove the large plastic nut (not pictured) from the bottom end of the stand
pole (A).
• Put the decorative washer (B) and the weighted base (C) in place at the
bottom end of the stand pole and secure underneath the base with the
plastic nut.
• Your heater is now fully assembled. Place the heater in an upright position.
WARNING!
• Do not operate the heater without the base attached.

IMPORTANT!
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains source until it is securely
assembled on the base.
• When turning the heater on for the first time it is normal for the heater to
emit a ‘new heater’ smell, which will quickly pass. This is no cause for
concern. Ensure good ventilation.
Using the Heater
• Your new Ceramic Tower Heater can be operated using the control panel at
the front of the unit, or via the supplied remote control.
• Place the heater in an upright position on a stable, level, dry and heat-
resistant surface, taking into considering all relevant safety information on
the previous pages.
• The appliance is for floor-standing use only. Ensure that there is sufficient
distance from the wall, fixtures and other appliances. The distance must be
at least 50cm to exclude the risk of fire.
Connection
• Before connecting the heater to your power source, make sure that the
Power Switch at the back of the appliance is set to the OFF [ O ] position.
• Insert the plug of the power supply cord firmly into an electrical wall outlet
and switch on power to the outlet. Always use a separate socket that has
no other high wattage appliances connected at the same time – do not plug
it into a power board or socket adaptor; do not use an extension cord. Also
ensure that the socket is easily accessible so that the cord can readily be
disconnected in an emergency.
Standby Mode
• Press the Power Switch at the back of the appliance to set the heater into
standby mode. Once electricity is supplied, the unit will emit a short beep
and the Power Indicator Light will illuminate.
• Under standby mode, only the ON/OFF [ ] button will be effective, pressing
any other button will be ineffective.

Overheat Protection and Prevention
This heater is equipped with an automatic thermal cut-off (overheat protection),
which switches the heater off automatically in the event of abnormal over-
heating. While this features provides additional safety in case of overheating,
first and foremost you should make sure to eliminate all potential reasons that
can lead to overheating and create a fire risk.
If the overheat protection has been triggered, switch off the heater, unplug
it from the electrical socket and let the appliance cool for about 30 minutes.
Eliminate the cause of the overheating (for example, excessive dust in the
appliance, or the air outlet is covered) and start it up again. If after eliminating
the cause you still cannot switch the heater back on, or if the overheating
protection circuit switches on without an apparent reason, contact our after
sales support centre for advice.
IMPORTANT!
• A common cause of overheating is deposits of dust and fluff entering
the heater. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging
the heater, allowing it to cool and cleaning it as described opposite.
• Also make sure that the appliance can sufficiently dissipate the heat
generated. This is particularly important in case the overheat protection
has been triggered. Ensure there is sufficient room all around the heater,
and nothing is covering or obstructing the air outlet or intake.
Tilt Protection (Tip-Over Safety Switch)
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety switch, which switches off the
heater in the event that it is knocked over or tilted to a position where safe
operation is in jeopardy. Once the heater is restored an upright position, the
heater will reset.

the electricity supply to the appliance.
• If the outside of the heater needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth
and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Allow some time for the heater to dry

cleaning. Unscrew the filter cover, remove the filter and clean it carefully
under running water. Leave it to air dry completely before reinstalling it in
the appliance. Close the filter cover securely.
Storage

please unplug it at the power point.
• Clean the appliance as described above, then store it in its original carton to
protect it from dust. Store it in a cool and dry place, out of children’s reach.
