Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer
products, but it is essential that the product
user also exercise care when using an electrical
appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do
not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
byunskilledpersons,someappliancesare‘sealed’
using tamperproof screws. Such appliances
should always be returned to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend
the use of a residual current device (RCD) with
a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in
the electrical circuit supplying power to your
appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
• This heater becomes hot during use. To avoid
burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If
provided, use handles when moving this heater.
Keep combustible materials such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains
at least 3 feet (90cm) away from the front of the
heater and keep them away from the sides and
rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is
used by or near children or invalids and whenever
the heater is left unattended.
• Always unplug the heater when not in use.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not run the cord of the heater under
carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs,
runners or other floor coverings. Arrange the
cord away from traffic areas where it will not be
tripped over.
• Do not locate the heater immediately below a
socket outlet.
• Do not use this heater in the immediate
surrounds of a bath, shower, laundry area or
swimming pool.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust openings as this may cause
electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes
or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, such as beds, where opening may
become blocked.
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparing parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol, paint
or flammable liquids are used or stored.
• In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the
heater.
Important instructions – retain for
future use.

Safety auto shut off
Your Sunbeam Twinheat Ceramic Heater is
equipped with a safety system that detects
any abnormally high temperatures within
the heater and automatically shuts it off to
prevent overheating.
Thermal back-up fuse
In addition to this automatic cut-off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If
the heater is in an overheat situation, the
back-up fuse will open, stopping the power
flow to the heating element and fan. This
fuse cannot be reset, so in the event that
the back-up fuse is activated, the heater
will need to be replaced.
Sunbeam’s Total Safety System

Power ON light
Illuminates to indicate that the heater
is connected to the power outlet and
is switched on.
Ceramic element
The 2400 watt ceramic element is more efficient than
other element types as it converts more electricity into
heat that is transferred into the room.
It also self-regulates the energy flow depending on the
temperature for added safety. If the ceramic gets too hot,
electricity cannot pass through it.
Ceramic elements are safer than other element types,
as they operate at temperatures below the ignition
temperature of highly flammable materials like tissue
paper.
Oscillation function
The heater oscillates 70 degrees to provide greater
heat distribution. Simply press the OSC button
(OSC) to activate this function.
Two heat settings
Two heat settings allow you to adjust the heat and
airflow of the heater. When using the thermostat, select
setting 2 to reach the desired heat level more quickly.
Fan setting
Ideal for circulating cool air in summer, the fan setting
operates the fan without heat.

1.Place the heater on a flat level surface and
ensure that the air intake and outlet are
clear of obstructions.
2.Insert the plug into a 230/240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
3.Turn the thermostat dial to the highest
setting by rotating the dial clockwise as far
as it will turn.
4.Turn the mode dial to the desired heat
setting, I or II.
5.To use the fan without heat, set the
thermostat dial to the lowest setting and
select the fan setting on the mode selector
dial.
Setting the thermostat
1.Set the thermostat to the highest setting by
turning the dial clockwise as far as it will
turn.
2.When the room has reached the desired
temperature level, lower the thermostat
setting by turning the thermostat dial anti-
clockwise until it clicks. The heater will
stop operating.
3.The thermostat is now set and will
automatically maintain the pre-set
temperature level by switching between the
high (II) and low (I) settings.
Note: When set to the high setting it is
normal for the heater to cycle between
high and low as it maintains the preset
temperature. The heat output does not
vary when the heater is set to the low
heat setting (I). To prevent the unit from
cycling, raise the thermostat setting.
Adjusting the swivel housing
The revolutionary vertical twin housing allows
heat to travel in two different directions for
maximum heat distribution.
Carefully rotate each housing to direct the
airflow in the desired direction. Do not swivel
the unit beyond the point of resistance.
Using the Oscillation Function
The 70 degree oscillation function can be
used on any setting.
1.Press the oscillation button (OSC),
positioned on the top of the heater.
The heater will begin to oscillate from
side to side.
2.To stop the heater from oscillating,
simply press the (OSC) button once again.
