Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
•
Voltage
: Before plugging in the heater, make sure your outlet voltage and
frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
•
Electrical circuit
: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
•
No adaptor, no extension cord
: Do not use the heater with a power board or
double adaptor as this may overheat and create a fire risk. Do not use it with
an extension cord because the cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
•
WARNING
:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
• Never touch the heater with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not use the heater if any part of it has become wet. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any part
of the electrical system that has been wet.
• Never spill liquid into the heater. Protect the heater from moisture. Do not
expose it to spray and/or dripping water. Do not place objects filled with
liquid, such as vases or open drink containers, on or near the heater.
•
Damaged cord
: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Contact the after sales support line for advice.
•
Damaged heater
: Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged. Contact
our after sales support line to arrange an examination and/or repair.
•
Plug:
It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose
fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating and distortion of
the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace a loose or worn outlet.
•
Protect the power cord
:
• Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces.
• Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.
• Arrange the cord away from any traffic area so no one will trip over it.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting; do not cover it with rugs, runners etc.
• Only operate the heater with the power cord fully unwound.
