1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any
other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the
safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure that the insulation of all the cables on the appliance is undamaged and safe, before connecting it to the power supply.
Ensure that the cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
Regularly inspect the power supply cables and plugs etc. for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none are loose.
Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that a correctly rated fuse is fitted.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person in accordance with current electrical regulation
The unit should be protected by a suitably rated isolator and fuse or type 3 (also known as type C) mcb. An inrush current (initial current
through the filament) can be expected at switch on. This current can be as high as 12 times the normal operating current, lasting around 20
milliseconds. This effect can also vary depending on temperature. In extreme cases, a type D breaker may be required.
This heater is IP55 rated and is suitable for outdoor use. To maintain the protection rating all connections to the mains must be done with a
minimum of IP55 equipment.
The mains lead is made from high temperature cable, not a standard PVC cable and as such should not be replaced without consulting a
suitable qualified electrician.
Ensure that the mounting bracket is adequately earthed.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended.
