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.

• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used near children or infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

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

• 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 dropped or 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.

Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

• This heater becomes hot during use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

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.

Features of your Euro Plus heater

Patented SCHWARZ element

The patented heating element is designed to heat faster than conventional elements. Its single metal construction ensures optimum heat transfer from the element into the surrounding air, to warm the room faster.

Overheat protection

The safety auto shut off system detects any abnormally high temperatures within the heater and automatically switches it off to prevent overheating.

Thermostat dial

The thermostat dial allows you to set your desired temperature level.

Accurate to within 1°C, the electromechanical thermostat monitors the room’s temperature and continuously adjusts the heat output to maintain your selected comfort level.

The element is only powered for as long as necessary to restore the selected temperature, ensuring maximum efficiency.

On/off switch

The on/off switch at the side of the unit control’s the heater’s operation.

Wall mount bracket

The wall mount bracket is simply screwed onto the wall for quick and easy installation.
