When using any electrically powered product, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
• Always operate the product from a power source of the same voltage,
frequency and rating as indicated on the product identification plate.
• Remove the unit from its packaging and check to make sure it is in
good condition before using.
• Do not let children play with any parts of the packaging (such as plas-
tic bags).
• Close supervision is necessary when the product is used by or near
children or infirm persons. Do not allow children to use it as a toy.
• Do not operate any product with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
product malfunctions, or is dropped or appears damaged in any way.
Return the complete product to the place of purchase for inspection,
repair or replacement.
• Before unplugging the heater, be sure to turn the power off. When touch-
ing the unit, be sure your hands are dry to prevent electrical shock.
• Do not use the heater in areas such as garages where petrol, paint or
other flammable substances are used or stored.
• Do not use near or point the heater towards furniture, animals, cur-
tains or other flammable objects. Keep combustible materials such
as furniture, bedding and any other combustible materials at least 1
metre from the front and sides, and from the rear of the heater.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the
product or flexible cord to rain, moisture or any liquid other than those
necessary for correct operation of the product.
• This product should not be used in the immediate vicinity of water,
such as a bathtub, washbowl, bathroom, swimming pool, etc. where
there is a likelihood of immersion or splashing.
• Switch off and unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assem-
bling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. Remove by grasping
the product.
• A common cause of overheating is deposits of dust and fluff entering
the heater. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplug-
ging the heater, allowing it to cool and cleaning as described in the
Maintenance section.
