vibration and is not moved when it is in use. Wait till the heater has cooled down before moving.

4.1 Ensure the heater is at least 1000mm from any object. The heater can be tilted from 45° to 90° set it to the required angle
before switching the heater on. Adjust the heater angle by loosening the two bolts on the wall mounting bracket. Tighten the
bolts again when the desired angle is reached.

excessive build-up of dust/dirt on the reflectors or emitters as this can cause overheating and premature emitter failure. To
clean the appliance, turn off and disconnect from mains supply, allow to cool then wipe with a damp cloth.
