Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Plug: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit
between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the
plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace a loose or worn outlet.
• After use: Always switch off the heater and disconnect the power when the
heater is not in use and before cleaning, servicing, moving or storing it.
• Disconnect: To disconnect the heater, switch it off and remove the plug from
outlet. When disconnecting, grip the plug, do not pull on the cord.
• Safety switch: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device
(safety switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
