Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance.

Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.

• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible adult to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven.

Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are

‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest

Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (90cm) away from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left unattended.

• Always unplug the heater when not in use.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not run the cord of the heater under carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners or other floor coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas where it will not be tripped over.

• Do not locate the heater immediately below a socket outlet.

• Do not use this heater in the immediate surrounds of a bath, shower, laundry area or swimming pool.

• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust openings as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.

• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, such as beds, where opening may become blocked.

• A heater has hot and arcing or sparing parts inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

Sunbeam’s Total Safety System

Safety auto shut off

Your Sunbeam Compact Oscillating Ceramic heater is equipped with a safety system that detects any abnormally high temperatures within the heater and automatically shuts it off to prevent overheating. If the heater is getting excessively hot, an alarm will sound.

Do not operate the heater with the alarm sounding. Immediately turn the heater off at the power outlet and check that there aren't any objects on or around the heater.

This first stage of the safety system requires the user to manually reset the heater for it to resume operation.

For instructions on how to reset your heater, see page 7.

Thermal back-up device

In addition to this automatic shut-off, your heater contains an over temperature thermal back-up device to provide additional backup protection. If the heater is in an overheat situation, the back-up device will operate, stopping the power flow to the element and fan.

In the event that the back-up device is activated, the heater will need to be reset.

For instructions on how to reset your heater, see page 7.

Oscillation function

The heater oscillates 90 degrees to provide greater heat distribution. Simply press the oscillation button (OSC) to activate this function.

Electronic thermostat

The electronic thermostat allows for precise temperature control. Select the auto mode to set the electronic thermostat and turn the thermostat dial to the desired heat setting.

Once your desired temperature is reached, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain it.

Thermostat dial

When in auto mode, turn the thermostat dial to select your desired temperature.

Ceramic element

The 1800 watt ceramic element is more efficient than other element types as it converts more electricity into heat.

Ceramic elements are also safer than other element types. They do not glow and operate at such low temperatures that they will not ignite even highly flammable materials such as tissue paper.

Troubleshooting Guide

If your heater fails to operate check the following:

• Make sure the electrical outlet or circuit breaker is working.

• Check for obstructions. If you find an obstruction, turn the heater off and follow the reset instructions on page 7.

• The safety auto shut-off may have activated, so follow the instructions for resetting on page 7.

Care and Cleaning

Ensure that the heater is switched off and disconnected from the power outlet before cleaning.

Carefully wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Over time, dust may accumulate on the front grilles. This can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth.

Store the heater in a cool dry place when not in use. Store the heater in its carton if possible.
