This heater should be installed by acompe- tent person, i.e. aqualified electrician. Always disconnected the heater from the electrical supply and allow it to cool before installation. Assembling the heater (Fig. B-G) Always mount the device with the supplied accessories. Before starting to assemble the device, take the following into consideration:

• Place the device on afirm, level surface. The device may never be placed at an angle!EN

• The device must be placed so that there is 100 cm of free space between the heater and object or wall, measured from the front or side. There must be at least 1.80 m between the ground and the underside of the device. There must be at least 30cm clearance between the device and the ceiling.

• Do not install the heater on or near an inflam- mable surface.

• If the heater is to be used outside, aweather- proof outlet is highly recommended.

• Before drilling ensure that there are no wires or water pipes in the area where the heater is to be installed.

1. Start by mounting the lower tube (6) onto the

baseplate (9). Tighten the bolt (16) and nut (17) as shown on figure B.

2. Slide the cover (7) onto the lower tube (6) as

shown on figure B. This will hide the bolts (16) from plain sight.

3. Put the assembly and its side, and guide the

power cable (12) through the centre of the baseplate (9) and through the lower tube (6), as shown in figure C.

4. Take the middle tube (5) and guide the power

cable through this tube as well. Keep hold of the middle tube (5) and follow the next step.

5. Now screw the middle tube (5) onto the lower

tube (6) in clockwise direction, until it is tight. Refer to figure C.

6. Take the upper tube (4) and guide the power

cable through this tube as well. Keep hold of the upper tube (4) and follow the next step.

7. Now screw the upper tube (4) onto the middle

tube (5) in clockwise direction, until it is tight. Refer to figure D.

8. Put the assembled baseplate (9) and tubes in

9. Now take the heater (1) and connect it to the

power cable (12) as shown on figure E.

10. Put the cable connector box (13) on the cable

connectors and fold it closed, as shown on figure E. This will seal the cable connectors and prevent them from becoming loose.

11. Slide the protruding part of the heater (1) with

the properly connected cable assembly onto the upper tube (4) as shown on figure F.

12. Ensure the two holes in the protruding part of

the heater (1) align with the holes in the upper tube (4).

13. Now secure the heater (1) in place by tightening

the long screws (18) into the holes of the upper tube (4) and thus the heater.

14. Secure the power cable (12) onto the baseplate

(9), using the cable holder (14) and the two short screws (19). Refer to figure G. Fixing the heater base (Fig. H) It is strongly advised to secure the heater to the ground surface by using the specially designed baseplate brackets (15). These brackets prevent the heater from falling over, especially when being used outdoors where windy conditions are no exception. To mount the baseplate brackets:

1. Take the baseplate brackets (15) and place

them evenly spaced around the baseplate (9).

2. Now mark the drilling holes onto the ground

surface through the holes of the baseplate brackets (15).

3. Remove the baseplate brackets and drill holes

in the marked positions. Use adrillbit diameter that corresponds with the used sleeve anchors (20). Drill around 10 to 15 mm deeper than the expected embedment. Ensure the holes are level and at exactly the same height.

4. Clean out the holes of any debris and put the

baseplate brackets (15) in place.

5. Set the nut flush with the top of the sleeve

6. Insert the sleeve anchor (20) into the hole in

the floor material. Using ahammer, insert the sleeve anchor as far until the washer and nut are tight against the floor material.

7. Now put the baseplate bracket (15) on the

sleeve anchor (11), and mount it using the washer and nut. Turn the nut until finger tight.

8. Use awrench to set the anchor by turning the

nut three to four full turns.

WARNING. Before each use, check that: your hands are dry before operating the device, the device is clean and dry, the device is not damaged, the device is properly assembled and securely mounted to the floor.10

Switching on/off and adjusting the power level (Fig. A) The heater can be turned on and off using the on/ off switch (3). The heater is equipped with two switches, to not only turn the device on or off, but also adjust the power level in atotal of three different settings:

• Left on/off switch (10) turned on (I), right on/off switch (11) turned off (O): Level 1 - 800W

• Left on/off switch (10) turned off (O), right on/ off switch (11) turned on (I): Level 2 - 1200W

• Left on/off switch (10) turned on (I), right on/off switch (11) turned on (I): Level 3 - 2000W Tip-over safety switch (Fig. A) This heater is fitted with atip-over safety switch. In the event that the heater falls over, the heater automatically shuts off. Please note that when the heater is returned to its upright position, it does not resume its operating immediately. First switch it off (read ‘switching on/ off’), remove the plug from the socket and check the heater for damage. In case of damage or mal- functioning do not use but offer for checking / re- pair. If there is nog damage, you can simply switch the heater on again (read ‘switching on/off’).

Always make sure that the machine is not connected to the mains electricity when you carry out any maintenance of the mechanism. CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock. DO NOT open or try to repair the heater yourself. Clean the machine casings regularly with asoft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ven- tilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using asoft cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components.

• DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive pow- ders, furniture polish or rough brushes to clean the heater. This may cause damage or deterio- ration to the surface of the heater.

• DO NOT immerse the heater in water.

• Wait until the heater is completely dry before use. ATTENTION:

• Always disconnect the heater from the electric- ity supply and allow it to cool before attempting to clean it.

• If the heater has collected dust or dirt inside the unit or around the heating element, have to unit cleaned by aqualified service agent. Do not operate the heater in this condition.

• The only maintenance required is cleaning of the external surfaces of the heater.

• Do not touch the heating element with bare fingers, as residue from your hand could affect the life of the lamp. If it is accidentally touched, remove the finger marks with asoft cloth mois- tened with mentholated spirit or alcohol.

• Do not attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this heater.
