4. Slide the feet from the outside into the corresponding supports on the underside of the heater.
5. Secure the feet firmly using the screws supplied.

Operating Your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the appliance, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. This appliance requires no installation, it should be used solely as a portable appliance.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
