IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly before rst use and keep it in a safe place for future
reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and carton. The
safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury
when correctly adhered to.
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Before plugging the heater into a suitable power point, make sure that your outlet
voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance
rating label.
• Always plug this heater into a separate power point. Do not use it with an
extension cord as this may overheat and cause a re risk.
• To ensure you do not overload the electrical circuit, make sure that no other
appliance is in use on the same electrical circuit as the heater.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or injury:
• Never touch the heater, plug or cord, or adjust any switches, with wet or damp
hands or feet.
• Do not immerse the heater in water or let water drip or spill into the heater.
• Never expose the heater to an atmospheric condition (rain, sun, etc.).
• Always place the heater on a at, stable surface.
• Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after the heater
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. In such a case,
contact the after sales support line for advice.
• 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.
• Protect the power cord:
• Do not put the cord on top of or wrap it around the heater.
• Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces during operation.
• Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.
• Do not pull the cord when unplugging the heater, grip the plug.
• Arrange the cord away from any trafc area so no one will trip over it.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting, throw rugs or runners etc.
• Only operate the heater with the power cord fully unwound. Using it with the
cord coiled up could cause overheating and present a re hazard.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when connected to the mains power supply.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Beforerstuse
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance and dispose of them
responsibly. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young
children, so make sure all packaging materials are out of reach of children.
• Inspect the cord for damage or wear before each use. Do not use the heater if it
or its cord have been damaged or are not working properly.
• Make sure the heater is disconnected from the power supply before attaching the
castor wheels to the bottom of the appliance. Use the supplied screws to attach
the wheel assemblies at a 90˚angle to the outermost screw holes.
• Place the heater on a level, hard and non-ammable surface. Always choose a
safe location, keeping in mind the safety precautions on the previous pages.
• The power supply cord is stored in the compartment at the bottom side of the
heater. Take out the cord, straighten it and plug it into a suitable 220-240V~50Hz
wall outlet. The red indicator light will come on, indicating the unit is plugged in and
is receiving power.
Heat settings
Your heater is equipped with three heat settings, as illustrated below:
O OFF: no heating power is applied to the unit.
I Provides approx. 600W heat output.
II Provides approx. 1800W heat output.
III Provides the maximum 2400W heat output.
• To achieve low heat output, or approximately 600W of heat from your heater,
turn the heat switch to position “I”. The second bottom element will now glow. In this
position, the element will glow continuously and, for safety reasons, it cannot be
switched off by turning down the thermostat.
• To achieve medium heat output, or approximately 1800W, turn the thermostat
control (above the heat switch) fully clockwise to the maximum and turn the heat
switch to position “II”. The top three elements will glow, the bottom element will not.
• To achieve full heat output, or 2400W of heat, turn the switch to position “III” and
the thermostat control to the maximum. Your heater is now running on full power
and all four elements will glow.
NOTE: Low heat output, or 600 watts of heat, can also be achieved by turning the
heat switch to either position “II” or “III” and the thermostat control knob to
minimum (fully counterclockwise). Only the second element will then glow.

Temperaturecontrol
• Your heater is also tted with a thermostat. This is the large rotary knob situated
above the heat switch. Your heater will maintain the room temperature you select
by turning the knob. Turn it clockwise for a warmer and counterclockwise for a
cooler room temperature.
• When the desired room temperature is reached, the thermostat will automatically
switch off the top two elements and the bottom element (for position “III” only).
For safety reasons, the second bottom element will glow continuously.
• If the room temperature drops below the set level, the thermostat will
automatically switch the two top elements and the bottom element (for position
“III” only) back on and so forth, maintaining your desired comfort level.
NOTE: The thermostat will only operate when the heat switch is in position “II” and “III”.
Hintswhenusingtheheater
• Maintain a clearance of at least 1m from the unit (during operation) to prevent
contact burns.
• CAUTION: This heater is not suitable to for use on long pile carpets or okati rugs.
• Care should be taken if the heater is used on short pile carpet. We recommend
putting a thick piece of hardwood under the heater to prevent the carpet from
scorching.
• To prevent the heater from causing a re, place it least 1m away from combustible
material such as paper bins, desks, curtains, long pile carpet.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble-free operation:
• Before cleaning, unplug the heater from the mains supply and ensure it has cooled
down completely.
• Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the heater to remove dust and dirt.
• For maximum performance, the reector must be kept clean. First remove the grille
by unscrewing the four screws at the front. Then clean the reector body with a
soft, damp cloth, using a small quantity of mild detergent. Take care not to splash
any water in the heater as this can cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never use
solutions such as benzene, thinners or polishing agents.
• Use the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and uff from
around the air vents and grilles.
• Ensure the heater is dry before plugging it back into the mains supply.
