fitted either side of the frame as shown. Tighten the bolts sufficiently to retain the heater at the
required angle.

3.5. Check the element is properly locate, then replace front grill.
4. HEATER OPERATION
4.1. Place the heater on a level floor in the area you require to heat. Allow a minimum of 2mtr between the heater and adjacent objects.
4.2. Plug the heater into the mains supply and select the required output by using the two rocker switches on the side which switch the
elements on and off. Each lamp has an output of 1500W.
4.3. 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.
WARNING! DO NOT touch the top of the heater when in use as it becomes hot.
WARNING! Always allow elements 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.
4.4. The heater has a built in tilt switch safety mechanism that switches off the unit if it is tilted beyond 35° 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 35° in the opposite direction until you hear the internal switch operate. As the heater switches on return it to the vertical
position.
WARNING! This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. DO NOT use this heater in small rooms when they
are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
