SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets, and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimized by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated into the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply that is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances if used in business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuits and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs, or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3-pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (the UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ″E″.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ″L″.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ″N″.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint, and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above – DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance plugged into it will
be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect the heater from the main power supply before carrying out any servicing or maintenance.
Maintain the heater in good order and clean condition for best and safest performance. Replace or repair damaged parts.
Locate the heater in a suitable work area and keep the area clean, tidy, and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate lighting and keep the immediate area in front of the outlet grille clear.

Only use the heater standing in the upright position on a level surface.
DO NOT use the heater where there are flammable liquids, solids, or gases such as petrol, solvents, aerosols, etc, or where heat-sensitive materials may be stored.
DO NOT place the heater near items that may be damaged by heat, allow at least 2mtr clearance in front of the heater.
DO NOT allow the heater to get wet as this may cause an electric shock, causing damage to the heater and possible personal injury.
DO NOT let power lead hang over an edge (i.e. table), touch a hot surface, lie in the beam of heat, or run under a carpet.
DO NOT use it in the bathroom, shower room, or in any wet or damp environments or where there is high condensation.
