Be careful to prevent damage to the cosmetic finish or your floor surfacing.
2. Slide the wheel set fully into the grooves in the base of the heater nearest to the
back of the heater as shown in Picture A.
3. Slide the foot set fully into the grooves at the control panel/power cord end of the
heater as shown in Picture B.
4. Turn the heater the right way up.
Before using this appliance, it must have the castor plates with castors fitted. The
screw pack to attach the feet to your appliance will be taped to either one of the feet
for your appliance, or taped to the plug.

fitted.
This appliance has been supplied with ‘1 way screws’ for permanent installation of the
feet. This is a safety requirement for the New Zealand and Australian market.
Assembly Instructions
WARNING: Operate the appliance in normal upright position only with
wheel assemblies attached to the bottom. Any other position could create a
hazardous situation.

Operating Your Heater
Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions
outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please
follow the below instructions.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear
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
automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned
incorrectly.
WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended when in use.
Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off
position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may
partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat
the plug and socket and could result in fire.
Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a
slight odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by
the initial heating of the heating elements and should not occur again.
