Important Safety Advice
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
IMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the appliance must be used.
IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, it must be so installed that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person using a bath or shower.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater, for instance by curtains or pushing furniture up against the heater, as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of the heater.
The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating that it must not be covered.
WARNING – THE SURFACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT. Momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury. However, aged or infirm persons or young children should not be left unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater unless a suitable guard is fitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Note that due care and consideration must be taken when using this heater in series with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
