IMPORTANT
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference.
Note also the information given on the appliance.
This heater is VERY HEAVY. In order to maintain stability
and to ensure its future safety in use, it is essential that
the heater is FIXED SOUNDLY TO A WALL and that the
feet are mounted on a FIRM, LEVEL SURFACE. Care
should be taken to avoid irregular surfaces, such as may
result from tiled surrounds partially protruding under the
heater. It is important that the following instructions are
strictly followed.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FIXING DEVICE CHOSEN IS
APPROPRIATE TO THE WALL MATERIAL TO WHICH THE
HEATER IS BEING FIXED. SOME MODERN INTERNAL
BUILDING MATERIALS ARE VERY LOW DENSITY BLOCK
AND REQUIRE SPECIALISED FIXING DEVICES TO
PROVIDE A SAFE, SECURE INSTALLATION.
THE HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR SWITCHES AND OTHER CONTROLS TO BE TOUCHED
BY A PERSON USING A BATH OR SHOWER.
