The casing and the front cover of the appliance become extremely hot during operation. Pay attention that, no combustible material due to Wind or other environmental influences covers or obstructs the appliance, such as curtains, marquees, flags, plastic foil etc. Do not touch the appliance. Caution! Risk of scald injury! Do not let the cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. In case of improper use, there is a risk of electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Operation of the appliance must be discontinued and the mains plug removed/unplugged immediately. Do not try to repair the appliance by yourself. Please contact with a service agent or a suitably qualified electrician for maintenance.

Remove the plug from the power outlet and wait until the appliance has cooled completely before cleaning Do not store any burnable liquids, paint, gas tank etc. in the immediate surroundings of the appliance. Do not use the appliance in flammable ambience (such as near by combustible gas or spray cans) - Danger of explosion and fire! This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Keep out of reach of children. In order to keep children from the dangers of electrical appliances, never leave them unsupervised with the heater. Consequently, when selecting the location for your heater, do so in such a way that children do not have direct/indirect access to the heater. Children must always be supervised when the heater is switched on. Caution! Never leave the appliance unsupervised when in use. Do not use the appliance with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches the appliance on automatically. The appliance must only be mounted by an Electrician/Engineer or suitably qualified person, paying attention to the relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the 17th Edition regulations. Installation For additional protection the installation of a residual current device (RCD) is advisable. Remove all package material (including the anti-vibration material of the lamp) and check the appliance, supply cord and the plug for signs of damage. Pay attention to the mounting position, place and all mounting materials (Anchor plugs, screws etc). Ensure they are suitable and stable enough for mounting and are strong enough to support the weight of the heater. Before mounting, the minimum safe mounting distances and tilt angles shown below must be strictly followed. 1. The distance between the bottom edge of the heater and the floor must be at least 1.8 metres. 2. There must be a distance of at least 0.2 metres between the heater and the ceilings, roofs or other covers. Pay attention that, the installation site of the heater, will not add excessive wind load. Fix the mounting bracket on the wall first. Ensure that the place to be installed is secure and firm and will take the weight of the heater. See figure 3. Adjust the desired angle of radiation and tighten all screws. Regularly check all screws for tightness. Mechanical bearing pressure, vibration and oscillation due to wind or rain could lead the screws to loosen. Plug in the power source. Then observe, whether during the first 10-15 minutes the appliance works trouble-free. 3. There must be a distance of at least 0.5 metres at each side between the heater and walls or the like. See figure 1. 4. Recommended degree to mounting surface is 45. See figure 2. Page 3
