• PRECAUTION: Certain parts of this

operation and cause burns. Special care
must be taken when children and other
vulnerable persons are present.
• PRECAUTION: Keep bags and other
accessories well out of the reach of
children.

• It is quite normal to notice a smell of "something
new" when the heater is switched on for the first
time". Allow your heater to work in a well-ventilated
location for two or three hours.
• Before each cold season or if the heater has been
switched off for several days, it should be cleaned
before switching it on (follow the steps in "section 10

of accumulated dust and other remains.
• Do not use your heater without first fitting the base
plinths directly on the floor.
• This heater CANNOT be operated with external
programmable units or any other third party control

metal and other surfaces can be caused if in proximity
to the heater. This can cause discoloration of metal
and plastic surfaces.
• Temperature fluctuations may cause crackling or
heater noises. This is not an indication of failure.
* The heater warranty does not cover any damage
caused by failing to follow these
very hot during
instructions.
