•Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 –240V AC;
50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the
unit.
•This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is
necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the
plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is

•If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your
socket, or becomes damaged in any way, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted. This should be carried out by a
qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of
safely, as insertion into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an
electrical hazard.

USING YOUR HEATER
Safety Protective Devices
The appliance is fitted with an over heat protection
system and a tip over switch.
•Overheat protection - the power to the heating
elements will automatically cut off if the temperature
of the heating elements exceeds a certain limit. In
the event of overheating, the heater will stop
operating. Switch the appliance off and allow it to
completely cool.
•Tip over switch - The unit needs to be placed on a flat
and firm surface to ensure that the tip over switch is
balanced. If in the event that the unit tips over or is
placed on an uneven or soft surface the fan will not
operate as the tip over switch will be activated and
the appliance will cut out.
•Note: the safety tip over switch is housed within the
product. When the product is moved you will hear
the tip over switch moving. It will make a rattling
noise but please note this is normal.
