Installing your Appliance

Operating Your Heater
WARNING:In order to avoid overheating or fire, DO NOT COVER the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and sides of the
appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer,
remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on
