• Children should be supervised to make sure they do not play with the appliance.
• The heater should only be used according to the instructions in this manual. The manufacturer does not recommend and cannot support any other uses, which may cause fire, electric shocks or injury.
• Do not sit on the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes.
• Do not insert or allow any objects into the heater vents as this may cause electric shock, fire or equipment damage.

• Do not use the heater with the power cable wound up – this can cause a dangerous build up of heat. Do not wind or tangle the cable around the appliance as this may cause weakening and splitting of insulation. The power cable should be fully unwound and removed from any storage areas before use.
• The power cable should not be positioned under the carpet or items of furniture. Do not run the cable where it will be a trip hazard.
• Do not unplug from the power outlet until the device is turned off.

• The product must not be immersed in liquid.
• Do not place this product directly under a power outlet.
• The product should only be mounted on smooth, stable, heat resistant surfaces.
• Do not put the appliance on a bed or long, thick carpet. This can cause the air inlet or outlet to become clogged and constitutes a fire risk.
• Do not position the appliance near sources of radiant heat.
• Do not use in areas where petrol, paint or other flammable liquids are used or stored.

• If the plug or appliance is dropped, damaged, or malfunctions in any other way, seek out a qualified electrician for inspection and maintenance. If unsure, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
• Check the power cable regularly. Do not use the heater if the cable is damaged.
