SAFETY INFORMATION

PLEASE READ BEFORE USE

DO NOT COVER

In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the appliance with anything, especially flammable materials, such as clothes or paper.

In order to avoid hazards due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be operated through an external switching device, such as timers, programmers, separate remote-control system or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause scalding. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

In case of a failure whilst under warranty we will collect the heater from you for repair/replacement, therefore please save the packaging and keep it safe away from children. When you do dispose of the packaging please recycle.

This appliance is intended for use in a domestic environment only. Any other use is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shocks or other injury to person or property. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or around this unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended.
2. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
3. Ensure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked or covered. Do not place the unit too close to curtains or other objects - min 10cm.
4. 
   Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire.
5. 
   Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
6. Protect against electrical shocks, do not immerse unit, plug or cord in water, or spray with liquids. Do not run power cord under carpeting, or cover with rugs or runners. Arrange the cord away from areas where it may be tripped over.
7. Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltage to the unit.
8. Where possible, avoid the use of an extension cable as they may overheat and cause a risk of fire. Only use an extension cord after ensuring it is in perfect condition. Extension leads can also cause voltage drop which will affect the heater. This is more likely when being used in garages and out buildings.
9. Handle with Care: Do not drop, throw or crash the heater. Rough treatment can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
10. Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface, for example the floor or a strong counter, so that the heater cannot fall and cause injury. Use on a deep pile carpet should be avoided as this could prevent the tip over switch from activating.
11. Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit. If in doubt do not use the heater and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
12. 
    Keep Air Intakes/outlets Clear: Do not clog or block the air intakes/outlets by placing the heater too close to curtains, walls or anything that will restrict the air inlet. This may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical hazard.
13. Keep Filter Clean: Always use a clean air filter. Do not allow any material to clog the filter, as this may cause the heater to overheat. Never use without a filter. Always check, and if necessary, clean the filter before switching the heater on. Do not allow oil, grease, or other contaminants to be drawn into the heater. Do not clean the heater with organic solvents.
14. Never unplug the power cord without pressing the "ON/OFF" button first, as this could damage the unit. Never unplug the heater before the fan has stopped blowing. Always unplug the unit when not in use or moving location. To disconnect from the power supply, grip the plug and pull from the power socket. Never pull by the cord.
15. Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the heater's electrical components. If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the heater. If in doubt do not use the heater and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
16. The operator must make the operating instruction available for the user and make sure that the user does understand the manual.
17. To repair the unit, take it to a qualified service engineer. Repairs carried out by unqualified people may cause damage to the unit or injury to persons or property and void the warranty.

ATTENTION: The heater is fitted with a thermal cut out and a tip-over switch so if the heater starts to overheat or if it falls over then it will automatically turn off.
