Electrical Installation

Standards.
The heater operates from a normal 15 A 3 pin
socket outlet on earth leakage on a 230 V system,
or connects directly on a 230 V, 2-pole isolator on
earth leakage.
Operation
The heater will automatically start working once it
has been connected to the correct 230 V power
source. The LED light will glow to indicate the
heater is on.
Radiant heat will be felt in front of the reflector
after about 30 seconds, and continue to increase
in intensity for 3-4 minutes.
Infrared Radiation
The heater uses infrared radiation to heat objects.
Do not stare into the heater for prolonged periods
at a short distance without adequate eye
protection as this may cause damage to the eyes.
Take adequate precautions to safeguard against
excessive exposure, such as moving further away
from the heater or switching the heater off when
heat becomes uncomfortable.
Maintenance
The heater contains no user serviceable parts.
The elements should last in excess of 10 000 hours.
If the heater has not been in use for a while, ensure
it is disconnected from the power source. Dust the
elements with a soft duster to remove excess dust.
This should prevent odors after first use.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the heater only when it is
disconnected from the power source and cool. If it
has been in operation, switch off and wait for at
least 15 minutes.
Carefully wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft
damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners to clean your
heater, as these may damage the surface.
Do not let the inside of the heater get wet as this
may cause a risk of electrical shock.
