Slight crackles may be heard during the heating or cooling period. This is a
normal part of the operation of the heater.
!
NOTE:
After switching on the heater for the rst time following extended
periods on non-use, the appliance may produce a slight odor for a short time.
This is normal and will not affect the use of the heater.
RISK OF FIRE/EXPLOSION
This heater should not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres or
environments. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint or ammable
liquids are used or stored.
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, insulation and other
combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and away
from the top, rear, and sides of the unit.
To prevent possible res, do not block or allow foreign objects to enter
air intakes.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not operate heating unit after a malfunction. Disconnect power at the
service panel and have the heater inspected by a qualied electrician
before reusing.
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use is not
recommended by the manufacturer and may result in re, electric shock,
or injury.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause an electric shock or re, or damage the heater.
RISK OF INJURY/BURN
The heating unit and discharge area will be hot when in use. To avoid
burns, do not let bare skin touch the heating unit or glass surface on
heating unit.
Do not attempt to service or clean heater while unit is operating, as there
is a hazard from electric shock and burn potential from hot surfaces. To
avoid the risk of burn or injury wait a minimum of 6 hours for the heater to
cool before attempting to clean or service.

Maintenance Instructions
WARNING:
When replacing the
ruby bulb or when cleaning the unit
ensure that if hard wired the circuit is
disconnected from the main power
supply.
!
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT
THE BULB HAS COOLED BEFORE
HANDLING.
1. Do not handle the halogen
bulb with bare hands. If it is
inadvertently touched, remove
nger marks with a soft cloth
and methylated spirit or rubbing
alcohol. Otherwise, the marks will
burn into the quartz emitter during
use causing premature heater
failure.
WARNING:
All maintenance
should only be carried out by a
qualied electrician or installation
professional.
2. During operation, it is necessary
to periodically (once a year) check
the electric cable contacts and
terminal connectors for good
tightening.
3. Before cleaning the unit, the
power shall be turned off at the
circuit breaker panel, and the
heating unit must be cool to the
touch to prevent bodily injury.
4. If the body becomes dirty, wipe off
dust with a towel. The radiating
boards should be wiped in cold
condition with a damp soft rag.
It is recommended to clean the
unit every 3 months for peak
performance.
WARNING:
Never immerse
the heater in water! Doing so could
cause damage, bodily injury or
death.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Potentially lethal voltages are present. Be sure to turn off the unit at the
circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance
RISK OF INJURY/BURN
Do not attempt to service or clean heater while unit is operating, as there
is a hazard from electric shock, and injury potential from hot heating
elements.
Maintenance and repair must be performed by qualied personnel only.

Troubleshooting prior to calling a service technician:
When to contact the authorized service technician or your dealer:
SYMPTOM
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Will not heat / No operation
indicator LED
Check that power is connected and switched
on
Heater smells when rst used
This is caused by oil or dust left over from the
manufacturing process and will stop after a
short time
Faint smell for short periods after
turning on the heater
This is normal and should stop after a short
time
Heater smells when turned on
after periods of non-use
This is the result of build-up debris and dust in
the heater, Switch the heater off and allow it to
cool down and then clean before operating
Clinking noises when heater
is turned on and after being
turned off
This is expansion and contraction noises of
the heaters metal components and is a normal
function of the heater
Poor heating performance
Exposure to extreme ambient conditions such
as high winds / excessively cold temperatures
can lower the heating performance of an
outdoor installation
Unit is not installed in correct position,
