TILT SWITCH
The product is fitted with a safety tilt switch which will prevent the heater from working if the heater is accidentally tipped over in any direction. If the heater is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power and allow it to cool, then stand the heater back upright. Reconnect the power – normal operation should be resumed.

Note:
The tilt switch mechanism makes a muted rattling noise when the product is moved or tilted, this is not a fault, this noise is normal.

Additional

IMPORTANT NOTES
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety standards, certain types of carpets could become discolored by the temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance. Alternatively, stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet – call our Helpline for further advice.

You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does not cause a safety hazard. The heat outlet grille may become discolored with use – this is caused by airborne pollution and is not a fault.

TURBO FAN (SELECTED MODELS)
The turbofan is used to boost the airflow around the room. This circulates the heat better and results in a reduced heat up time and a more even heat distribution.
The turbofan is controlled by the Control knob.

STORAGE
If the heater is not required for long periods, for example during the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust. If left unplugged for a long duration, resetting the time and the programmed settings will be necessary.

CLEANING

WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.

Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder, or polish of any kind on the body of the heater. Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow moisture into the heater.
