General Safety
Our Low Surface Temperature heaters
have been designed and built to the
NHS requirement for safe surface
temperatures which is that no surface
which can be touched by the user will
be more than 43 ºC (at a room
temperature of 21 ºC) This means that
our Low Surface Temperature heaters
out-perform the European Standard by
a significant margin.
The appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Safety Monitor
As part of the intelligent control (see
section 15), the heater has built-in safety
monitoring. In the unlikely event of a
fault, the safety monitoring will help
prevent high surface temperatures. The
safety monitor will identify overheating,
fan failure and certain electronic faults.
When the safety monitor identifies a
fault, the heater runs in restricted mode.
However, in the event of a serious fault
the heater stops running. The heater
indicates a fault by beeping twice. It will
not beep again until the unit is switched
off and then back on, but the LED will
flash red continuously.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally
operated cut-out (TOC). In the unlikely
event that the safety monitor fails, this
safety device will switch the heater off if
the appliance overheats. If the TOC has
tripped there is a high possibility the
heater is faulty and should be checked
by a qualified person. The TOC can only
reset after the appliance has cooled
down. However we advise not to do this
until the heater has been checked
In order to re-set the TOC, proceed as
follows:
•
Switch off appliance and leave
for approximately 10 minutes.
•
Switch appliance back on and the
TOC will re-set.
•
Ensure that the appliance is
functioning correctly. If the TOC
control operates again, the
appliance should be checked by a
qualified person.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to
warn the user that if the appliance is
covered, it will overheat.
