Zenos Infrared Bar Heater Manual 3
BEFORE USING YOUR HEATER FOR THE FIRST
TIME
Please read all the instructions in this manual carefully, even if you have prior experience of
using an infrared heater. This manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference.
Should you need to make any kind of warranty claim with the manufacturer,you will need to
make note of the complete model number (located on the product card at the back of the
heater), the date on which you received the product, and your receipt of purchase.
The various ratings listed on the product card are based on specific loading tests performed
in a controlled environment. Normal usage of use with other electrical equipment may result
in different ratings.
Upon switching the heater on for the first time,you may notice a distinct smell and light smog.
Please be aware that this is completely normal-this is simply the protective oils used on the
element to protect it during production and transport burning off. Once the heater has been
on in an open environment, any smell or smog will disappear over a short period of time.
Please abide by the following safety precautions when using the heater,in order to minimise
the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury or property damage:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Use only the voltage specified on the product card located at the back of the heater.
Do not obstruct the front of the heater, or block the entry or exit of any airflow. There
should be a clearance of at least 30cm around the front and sides of the heater.
Do not use the product in close proximity to any other radiant heater source.
Do not use the product in close proximity to gasoline, paint or any other highly flammable
materials.
Take extra care to ensure that the heater has been off for at least 1 hour before touching it
with bare skin or moving it to another location.
Keep the heater away from all kinds of liquid, ensuring that it does not become immersed
in any liquid, as this could create an electrical shock.

You can prolong the life and ensure the safety of your heater by disconnecting it regularly
and vacuum cleaning the air vents and grilles.

shock.
When cleaning the heater, only use a soft, damp cloth, and always ensure that the heater
has been disconnected from the mains before cleaning. Do not use an abrasive cleaning
cloth.
