the heater as soon as possible to avoid any injuries from possible impact of the falling glass.

not comply with this, do NOT use the heater.
3.4 Water Proof
Sundirect infrared heaters have different IP ratings on different models. Please make sure to only
install heaters with IP44 rating in humid rooms. Heaters with IPX2 ratings are not suitable to be
installed in bathrooms etc. Please carefully check the specifications to confirm if your heater is
suitable for installation in humid rooms.
This heater is not suited for installation outdoors. Installations in humid rooms must be carried out
by a qualified electrician/installer and must comply with the local electrical safety requirements.
When installing the heater in humid rooms it must be secured in such way that there is no risk of
the heater falling into any water container. Never pour water on the device or put it in a water
container. The installer must make sure that switches and electrical controls cannot be touched by
any person in a shower/bathtub/swimming pool etc.
Sundirect shall not be liable for any injuries or damages resulting from inadequate mounting or
incorrect positioning close to water sources.
4. How to care for your Sundirect heater
1. Cleaning
Always unplug your heater and let it cool down completely before cleaning. Never dip into water
and never splash water on it. Clean the heater with a soft damp cloth. For glass models such as the
GD, MD series use a soft cloth and glass cleaner. Never use a wet cloth and make sure to dry the
heater when clean with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive materials, solvents or harsh cleaning
sponges as this could cause scratches or other irreparable damage. Before operating the heater
again it must be completely dry.
2. Using/Working
Please note that the heater may discolour with use. This is due to airborne pollution and is not a
fault. If you wish to add a picture print to your heater please contact a Sundirect dealer. Do not
cover your heater with a picture foil and do not paint or print the heater yourself. This might cause
damage to the heating element and will void your warranty.
