1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear

or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)

should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD

with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual

Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business

premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT),

at least once a year.

1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the

safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt

about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the

power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all

connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply

to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an

ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.

Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond

the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire,

connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance plugged into it will

be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this

product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.

4. HEATER OPERATION

4.1. Operating the heater.

4.1.1. Place the heater on a level floor in a suitable position in the area you require to heat. Allow a minimum of 2mtr between the heater and adjacent objects.

4.1.2. Plug the heater into the mains supply.

4.1.3. Select the required output by using the two rocker switches on the side which switch the lamps on and off. Each lamp has an output of 1500W.

4.1.4. To switch the unit off, select “0” on both the rocker switches and unplug from the mains. Allow the unit to cool before handling or storage.

pWARNING! DO NOT touch the top of the heater when in use as it becomes hot.

p WARNING! Always allow lamps to cool before moving the units. Use only on a smooth even surface. Failure to do so will cause premature wear to

the lamps and reduce their working life.

4.2. Tilt switch safety mechanism.

4.2.1. The heater has a built in tilt switch safety mechanism that switches off the unit if it is tilted beyond 25° either forwards or backwards. This prevents fire in the

event of the unit being knocked over. If the unit does not turn on again when returned to the vertical, tip it approximately 25° in the opposite direction until

you hear the internal switch operate. As the heater switches on return it to the vertical position.

5. MAINTENANCE

p WARNING! Before attempting any maintenance ensure the unit is unplugged from the mains power supply, it is cool and it is on level ground.

7 DO NOT touch the lamp glass, even when cold.

7 DO NOT use the heater without the grilles fitted.

5.1. Cleaning.

5.1.1. To clean the reflector, remove the grille by unscrewing the retaining screws and wipe the reflector with a clean dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasives or

solvents. The surface of the reflector is very soft and scratches may cause it to overheat. Replace the grille.

5.2. Changing a lamp.

5.2.1. Remove the front grille by unscrewing the retaining screws.

5.2.2. Ease the sprung sockets on the ends of the lamp back and pull the lamp forward such that it clears the sockets.

5.2.3. Remove the lamp from the sockets.

5.2.4. NEVER TOUCH THE LAMP GLASS DIRECTLY WITH FINGERS, ONLY TOUCH THE CERAMIC ENDS OR USE A SOFT CLOTH, OTHERWISE THE

LAMP COULD BE DAMAGED!

5.2.5. Carefully insert the replacement lamp into the two push-in side fittings with a gentle pressure.

5.2.6. Check the lamp is properly located.

5.2.7. Reassemble front grille.
