1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! This manual contains important product safety information. Ensure that you read all provided
instructions before installing, using, or servicing the product.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage that may result from inappropriate use. The heater
must be used in a responsible manner and all warnings and instructions included in this manual must be
followed.
General Safety Precautions
Only use the heater in the manner described in this
manual. To do otherwise may result in fire, electric shock,
and/or severe personal injury.
Do not place articles on or against the heater. In
particular, do not hang clothing from or place other such
combustible materials near the heater.
Incorrect installation or alterations to the heater, as well
as failure to adhere to the warnings and instructions
contained within this manual, may cause property
damage, severe personal injury, or death. Never attempt
to alter the product in any way.
Always allow the heater to fully cool down before
touching any of its surfaces. In general, it is
recommended that you do not touch the heater except
when required for installation or maintenance tasks. Both
these tasks must only be carried out by qualified
personnel like electricians.
Keep away from the heater when it is in use. Failure to do
so could result in clothing catching fire and/or severe
personal injury.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter the front of
the heater as this may cause fire, electric shock, or
damage to the heater.
This heater is not intended for use by children, invalids,
or persons with reduced capabilities unless properly
supervised. Extreme caution in such circumstances is
always recommended.
Always leave a minimum clearance distance of 90cm in
front of the heater. In particular, keep combustible
materials (such as furniture, clothing, bedding, pillows,
curtains, papers, etc.) beyond this minimum distance. It is
also advisable to keep such items away from the sides
and rear of the heater.
Do not use/store aerosols or other flammable materials
near the heater, especially while it is in use.
Never touch the heater with wet hands.
Ensure that all packaging material is kept out of reach of
children.
Do not paint the surface of the heater.
Only a qualified electrician should install the heater.
Remove packaging and any transit protection before
installation.
After unpacking, make sure that the appliance shows no
signs of visible damage or tampering. If the appliance
appears damaged, contact your supplier for assistance.
Ensure that the requirements of the local authority,
electrical codes and regulations, municipal building
codes, and any other relevant statutory regulations are
followed during installation.
When installing the element, ensure that the nuts at
either end of the element are tightened very securely on
the cable lugs. Otherwise, heat builds up and melts the
lugs over time. This may result in personal injury or
property damage. Failure to tighten the nuts sufficiently
will also void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Install the heater so that the elements are horizontal. Do
not mount the heater vertically as this may cause the
heating element within the tube to sag and cause
premature burnout. Vertical installation voids the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Only use this appliance on a 230-240 volt AC single phase
electricity supply. 110 volt elements are available on
request.
This heater is not intended for installation or use on
recreational vehicles and/or boats. It is also not intended
for installation in wardrobes.
