Caring for the Environment
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection

If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.

Must not be mounted less than 0.15m away from side wall(s) or any other obstructions.
Must not be connected or turned on before it is correctly mounted on the wall.
NOTE:
• Unpack carefully. Make sure to discard all packaging thoughtfully and to keep the mounting screw kit.
• The supplied accessories are designed for mounting on a brick wall. For other wall types, please consult
your local hardware store.
• Do NOT touch the heating elements; stains may be left which could then reduce the effectiveness / life of
the appliance.
