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-re-wireable 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 socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

USING YOUR HEATER

HOW TO TURN THE HEATER ON

1. Before connecting your appliance to the mains socket, position the appliance upright on the floor, at least 70cm away from the wall, curtains, furniture or wall coverings.
2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable wall mains socket.
3. Then turn the power control dial to select your desired function: Fan, Low 1200W (LOW), High 2000W (HIGH),
4. Turn the temperature control dial clockwise, when you hear a “pop” sound this means that the temperature control is active, continue to adjust the temperature control dial to your desired temperature.
5. To set the heater to Oscillate, locate the Oscillation function button at the rear of the appliance. Press the button and the unit will start to oscillate.

HOW TO TURN THE HEATER OFF

1. Turn the power control dial to the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Then turn the temperature control dial anticlockwise to its initial position.
3. Unplug the heater from the main socket and allow the heater to cool before storing it away.

NOTE: This heater will cool down slowly after the power is shut off. Allow the heater to cool prior to any movement, the built in carry handle should be used for ease of movement.

Safety Protection Devices – This appliance is fitted with an overheat and tip-over protection system.

1. Overheat Protection – the power to the heating elements will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating element exceeds a certain limit. In the event of overheating, the heater will stop operating. Once the appliance has completely cooled, the appliance will then resume operating as normal.
2. Tip-Over Switch – the appliance needs to be placed on a flat, firm, and stable surface to ensure that the unit contacts the floor firmly and the internal tip-over switch is level. In the event that the unit tips over or is placed on an uneven or very soft surface the appliance will not operate.

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 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 a 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.
