SAFETY

General Safety
Please read these instructions before using the heater and keep for future reference.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction in using the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Do not poke anything through the ventilating slits.
Always use the heater in an upright position.
Stand it on a firm, solid, horizontal base (not on thick pile carpets).
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.
Leave nothing hanging above or in front of the heater (e.g. clothes, curtains, bedding, fabrics). Be sure that the back panel vent slots on the heater are uncovered otherwise it will overheat. Clean these openings at regular intervals to prevent airflow reduction (refer Maintenance section).
The heater surfaces are hot when in use. To avoid burns, keep bare skin away from the top ventilation outlets. Leave plenty of room around the heater.
Do not use this heater outdoors, or on wet surfaces. Do not use the heater near flammable areas or substances.
Electrical Safety
Connect the heater to a single 230 Vac, 10A socket only. Do not plug into double adaptors or multi-outlet power boards. Do not use an extension cord to operate this heater.
Make sure that the heater never comes into contact with water. Never position the heater under a power outlet.
Never turn the heater on if the power supply cord is damaged or if the heater’s casing is obviously damaged. If the power supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not pull the heater along by the power cord or place the cord near the heater’s surfaces.
Always uncoil the power cord completely before use. Use of extension cords is not recommended.
Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool. If the heater is to be used in a bathroom, ensure that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.
Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer, separate 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.
Always turn the heater off and unplug from the power socket when not in use.
Safety Device
To avoid overheating problems the inbuilt safety device will interrupt electricity in the event of the heater overheating.
If this should happen:

Check that the heater is positioned correctly, not close to any furnishings.
See that there is no dust or other obstacles blocking the vent slots.
Clean the vent slots if necessary.

The heater is also equipped with a ‘tip-over’ switch, which will turn off power to the heater elements if it should fall over.
