Safety Cut-Out Switch

•  The heater is fitted with a safety cut-out 

switch to switch the heater off if it is 

knocked over. 

•  If the heater is knocked over and the  

cut-out switch activates turn the heater off 

at the power outlet and take EXTREME    

care when standing the heater upright as it 

will still be hot.  

•  Inspect the heater for damage especially to 

the heating elements and supply cord. 

•  If any damage is visible do not operate the  

heater.   

CLEANING AND CARE

•  IMPORTANT: Turn off the heater. Switch  

off the power switch and disconnect the    

heater from the power socket. Wait for  

the heater to be completely cool before  

cleaning.

•  Vacuum clean air vents and grilles to  

 

remove dust from these areas.

•  To remove dust on external surfaces, wipe  

the heater with a damp (not wet) lint- 

 

free cloth rinsed in hot soapy water only.

•  Do not use any harsh detergent or abrasive  

cleaners.

•  Do not spray with liquids or submerge in    

liquids or water.

•  Do not attempt to clean the interior of the   

heater.

•  Do not attempt to open the heater casing 

at any time. 

STORAGE

•  Store the heater carefully in a dust-free  

area during the off season. It is ideal 

to store the heater in the carton it was 

supplied in. Neatly wind the cord of the 

heater to prevent damage to the cord.

•  Place the heater on a flat, firm surface in a 

stable upright position.

•  Ensure power switches are in the “O” (OFF) 

position and the thermostat is in the “•” 

(OFF) position.

•  Unwind the power cord and plug your 

heater into a power socket (observing the 

instructions regarding positioning). Ensure 

the voltage on the specification plate is the 

same as in your home and the power cord 

is lying safely on the ground. 

•  Switch the heater ON by selecting: 

   a. Power setting I – 1400W

  b. Power setting II – 2400W

•  The heater operates when both the 

power switch and thermostat function are 

activated.

•  The red indicator light operates when 

the heater is in heating mode and the 

thermostat is calling for heat. It will turn off 

when room is up to the set temperature on 

the thermostat dial. 

Thermostat Function

•  Set the desired room temperature by turning 

the thermostat dial clockwise to the desired 

position. You may adjust the temperature 

during use. To turn down the thermostat turn 

the dial anti-clockwise.

•  To find the ideal thermostat setting for you, 

first set the knob to the maximum position. 

As soon as the temperature is comfortable, 

turn the thermostat down slowly, until the 

heater turns off. The heater will keep the 

surrounding air at this set temperature 

by switching on and off at intervals. The 

indicator light lights up when the heater is 

on.

•  To switch the heater off fully, turn the power 

switches to “O” and the thermostat to “•”.

SAFETY FEATURES
Over-Heat Protection

•  This heater is protected with an over-heat 

protection cut-out facility that switches it off 

automatically if it over-heats.

•  Overheating can be caused by obstruction  

to the air intakes on the back of the heater 

or the grill on the front.

•  If this occurs please disconnect the heater 

from the power socket and allow it to cool 

for 30 minutes. Remove any obstruction 

and turn the heater back on.

•  The heater should operate normally.  

Should the problem persist contact your    

nearest service centre.
