IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odour when unit is first operated. Do not be
alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil during the manufacturing
process. It will quickly evaporate and should not re-occur. Make sure that the room in which
the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation.

elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum
cleaner.
