IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Before connecting and switching on the appliance, ensure that the voltage indicated on
the units rating label corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
Read the instructions carefully, in conjunction with any illustrations, before using the
appliance for the first time.
Always ensure that the unit is connected to an earthed mains outlet.
Do not connect the appliance to an extension cord or multiple plug outlets. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, ensure that the cord is rated not less than 15amps and
can carry the current load generated by this appliance. Use only an approved extension
lead as use of an unsuited extension cord may result in overheating and/or fire.
Do not operate the appliance directly below a mains outlet.
Do not leave your home while the appliance is in operation; ensure that the unit is
switched off. Always unplug the appliance when not in use. Do not pull on the cord to
unplug the unit.
Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged before cleaning and allow the
appliance to cool down for at least 5 minutes before handling.
Keep combustible materials (such as furniture, cushions, bedding, paper etc) at least
100cm away from the heater.
Do not hang anything in front of or on the heater.
Do not cover the unit or the power cord as this imposes the risk of overheating.
This heater is intended for household use only. It is not designed for use as the main
source of heating. Use the appliance only for its intended use, i.e. as an extra source of
heating in the home/office.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any eventual damages or injury
arising from misuse.
To avoid the risk of fire and electrical shock, select a safe place for the heater.
Do not insert any objects in to the heater.
Ensure that children do not play with or operate the appliance. Elderly people and
children should be supervised should they be in the vicinity of the appliance.

on, nor immediately after switching off the heater since the grille requires time to cool
down.

Do not expose the appliance to atmospheric conditions (e.g. rain, sun etc)
Always ensure that the power cord is unwound properly to prevent overheating.
If the cord of this appliance is damaged, discontinue use of the product and contact the
manufacturer for further instructions. The cord must only be replaced by a service
representative of the manufacturer, since special tools and/or parts are required.

areas. Do not use the heater near bathtubs, showers, wash basins or swimming pools.
Place at a minimum distance is 1m from any of these areas.
If the heater becomes wet, unplug it from the mains socket before touching it as a wet
heater may result in electrical shock even if turned off.

SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance is fitted with two safety devices:
1. The first safety device switches OFF the appliance when the radiator is tilted or
when it is tipped over. This is achieved by means of a switch situated in the
lower part of the radiator.
2. The second safety device switches OFF the appliance should it overheat. This is
achieved by means of a built in thermo-fuse.
If either of the above situations should occur:
First ensure that it is not the thermostat that has switched off the heater. Turn the
power to maximum.
If the heater does not switch back on, the safety device has been activated.
Unplug the heater at the mains socket.
Allow the heater to cool down for 30 min.
Check if the heater has been placed correctly (refer section 3- Safety Positioning).
Ensure that nothing is obstructing the airflow.
If necessary, clean the grilles with a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust build up or
manufacturing dust.
Replace the plug into the wall socket and switch the heater ON again.
If the safety device again switches OFF the heater:
Unplug the heater from the mains wall socket
Have the heater inspected by an authorised service agent or by the supplier.
