Operating your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions.

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.

• Thermal Fuse – this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating. (It is non resettable).

CAUTION: The appliance generates heat during use. Precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to persons.
