SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never use the appliance in a room with explosive gas such as petrol, or while using any kinds of flammable glues, sprays or solvents.
• Prevent overheating of the appliance by keeping the air inlets and outlets clean and free of anything that may cause blockage. Check all inlets and outlets regularly for accumulated dust. DO NOT COVER.
• Do not place any part of your body near the air inlet, outlet or on the fins, to avoid personal injury, electric shock or fire.
• If overheating should occur, the built-in overheating safety device will shut the appliance off.

• Do not insert any foreign objects into the grill.
• Keep all grills clear of any draped fabric or curtains.
• The appliance must not be located immediately below a mains socket. Do not use the appliance with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches the appliance on automatically. A fire risk exists if the appliance is covered or positioned incorrectly.
• Do not operate this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• This appliance is not intended for commercial use
• This product is intended for household use only. Do not use outdoors.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Warning: Children should not use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any appliances are used near children.
• Warning: 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 concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with or use the appliance.

Electrical Safety

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET

• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 – 240V AC; 50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the unit.
• This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
• If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket or becomes damaged in any way, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. This should be carried out by a qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

USING YOUR HEATER

1. Before connecting to the mains socket, position the appliance away from curtains, furniture or wall coverings and other flammable materials.
2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 Amp mains socket.
3. To activate the heater, turn the power control dial clockwise to the fan icon for cool air, the ‘•’ setting for the low heat setting (750W), and to the ‘••’ setting for the maximum heat setting (1500W).
4. Turn the Thermostat Control clockwise to increase the temperature.

USING YOUR HEATER
Safety Protective Devices
The appliance is fitted with an overheat protection system and a tip-over switch.

• Overheat protection – the power to the heating elements will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of overheating, the heater will stop operating. Switch the appliance off and allow it to completely cool.
• Tip-over switch – The unit needs to be placed on a flat and firm surface to ensure that the tip-over switch is balanced. If in the event that the unit tips over or are placed on an uneven or soft surface the fan will not operate as the tip-over switch will be activated and the appliance will cut out.
• Note: the safety tip-over switch is housed within the product. When the product is moved you will hear the tip-over switch moving. It will make a rattling noise but please note this is normal.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.
Before you clean the appliance, disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.

• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in any liquid or allow moisture to come into contact with electrical parts.
• Clean the outer surface using a moist cloth and wipe over with a dry, soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh detergents, abrasives, or spray-on cleaners.
• Don’t allow water to seep into the openings or come into contact with electrical connections.
• Allow sufficient drying time before operating again.
• Clean the air inlets and outlets regularly with a vacuum cleaner using the brush attachment (with regular use, at least twice a year).
• When the appliance is not in use. We recommend that the heater is re-packed in its original packaging and stored in a cool, dry place.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

My appliance does not work when I turn it on:

1. Check that your appliance is plugged in and the power is turned on at the mains socket.
2. Try another mains socket.
3. Check the appliance is in an upright position.
4. Check that the thermostat setting has not been set too low.
5. If the appliance still doesn’t work, do not try to repair it yourself.
6. Check the tip-over switch has not activated by lifting the appliance up and rotating it before placing the feet on a firm and flat surface

If your appliance power is automatically cut off, follow the step below:

1. Unplug your appliance from the main socket and allow it to completely cool down.
2. Inspect your appliance. Clean the air inlet and air outlet with a vacuum cleaner if necessary. If there are any signs of physical damage (e.g. melting, or burning of the case), do not attempt to use the appliance. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.
3. Plugin the appliance and switch it on again. If it cuts off again, move the appliance to a better-ventilated location.
