Note: On first use the heater will emit a small amount of odour. This will disappear quickly after initial use.

These heaters are designed for small enclosed spaces like small offices, home garages etc. Always position the fan so that it stands upright on a firm non- flammable surface and at a safe distance from flammable objects and away from any potentially wet or damp environments.

The thermal cutout activates in the event of the appliance over heating. In the event of the thermal cut out activating, the heater must be switched off, unplugged and left to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes.

The cause for the appliance overheating must be addressed immediately and rectified. Possible reasons for the appliance overheating include the guard becoming covered, the inlet or outlet vents positioned too close to an object or the fan heater being left to run continuously. When the unit is sufficiently cool, reconnect it to the mains and switch on again.

Before switching off the heater, turn the thermostat to its minimum setting and let the appliance fan run for at least two minutes to cool the heating element. Then when cooled, turn off the fan and remove the plug from mains power.
