Components
WARNING:
Heater must not be used without the feet, castors, wheels fitted.
- This appliance has been supplied with ‘1 way screws’ for permanent installation of the feet. This is a safety requirement for the New Zealand and Australian market.
- Before using this appliance, it must have the castor plates with castors fitted. The screw pack to attach the feet to your appliance will be taped to either one of the feet for your appliance, or taped to the plug.
- Mica thermic heating uses both radiant and convection heating technology. Natural convection currents distribute the heat evenly throughout the room, while radiant heat from the heating surface warms people and objects in the room. This heater is equipped with two heat settings.
-
Main Body x 1
-
Feet with Castor Wheels x 2
-
Screws x 2
Assembly
Before using the heater, the feet with wheel assemblies (supplied separately
in the carton), must be fitted to the unit.
ASSEMBLY
-
Carefully turn the Main Body upside-down on a scratch-free and stable surface. Be careful to prevent damage to the cosmetic finish or your floor surfacing .
-
The castors are pre-attached to each foot. Slide each foot support fully into the grooves in the base of the heater until it clicks into place .
-
Secure each foot with the screws provided. Return to upright position .
WARNING:
- Operate the appliance in normal upright position only with feet and wheel assemblies attached to the bottom. Any other position could create a hazardous situation.
- Do not use this appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way or if the supply cord is damaged.
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.
- Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear of the appliance.
- 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.
- Never leave this heater unattended when in use.
Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the
off position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may
partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will
overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.
Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release
a slight odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by
the initial heating of the heating elements and should not occur again.

setting.
