Operating your Radiant Heater
Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the
unit before use.
WARNING Keep all objects at least 1 metre from
the front and sides of the appliance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The heater must be installed in a position where:
•
The outlet grill is a minimum of 1.8metres from
the floor.
• There is a minimum of 30cm from either side of
the heater to the nearest adjacent wall.
• There is a minimum of 21cm from the top face of
the heater to the ceiling.
The heater is to be installed so that the pull cord and
other controls cannot be touched by a person in the
bath or shower.
The heater must be mounted in such a position that
doors or other moving objects will not obstruct the
airflow.
If the heater is mounted above a shelf or other wall
mounted object, then there must be a minimum of
70cm clearance between the shelf and the outlet grill.
Securely fix the wall mounting base to the wall
surface with the screws and wall plugs supplied. Use
a spirit level to ensure the wall mounting base is level.
Fit the heater to the wall mounting base by ensuring
the hooks on the wall mounting base have engaged
with the mounting apertures of the heater. Slide the
heater down to lock it into place. The heater must be
locked in place on the Wall Mounting Base for safe
operation.
HEAT CONTROL SWITCH
The control switch positions are:
“0” = OFF
“1” = Low Heat
“2” = High Heat
Check that the Heat Control Switch is set to Off
position before plugging the heater into the mains
supply. Always pull cord in a vertical direction to
switch on, never pull cord on an angle to switch on.
For greater economy, use the High Heat setting
initially and then switch to the Low Heat setting.
Press or lift the main body lightly to adjust the angle
the heat is directed.
WARNING The heater must not be used if the
glass tubes are damaged
IMPORTANT! NEVER COVER THIS HEATER!
CARE AND CLEANING
The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble
free operation:
Unplug the heater from the mains supply before
cleaning.
Ensure that the heater has been allowed to cool down
completely before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the
heater to remove dust and dirt.
The reflector body can be cleaned by using a dry
duster or soft brush through the grill, taking care not
to damage the glass tubes.
Never use solutions such as benzene, thinners or
polishing agents.
In order to get the maximum heat, the reflector must
be kept clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and fluff from
around the grills.
Ensure the heater is dry before plugging back into the
mains supply.
Do not attempt to dismantle the heater. There are no
user serviceable parts. For service or repair, contact
an authorised electrical service technician.
CAUTION
The Radiant Heater generates heat during use.
Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk
of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to persons.
Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer,
separate remote-control system or any other device
that switches the heater on automatically.
