The Rio Grande RF heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and
objects rather than the air in between. It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that
allows the heat to be directed exactly where it is required. The heaters are designed
for indoor and outdoor use so are therefore weatherproof.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this
heater is guaranteed only by its correct usage in accordance with these
instructions, therefore it is recommended that they are retained for future
reference.

The Rio Grande RF heater is fitted with a supply cord for hard-wiring, therefore it is
unnecessary to open the terminal box in order to carry out normal installation of this
product.
We recommend using a RCD where applicable.
Please observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and any
inflammable surfaces.
If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
If in any doubt, please contact a suitably qualified electrician.
