Introduction
The Rio heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and objects rather than the air in between.
It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that allows the heat to be directed exactly where it is required. Its
attractive, lightweight design means that it is effective yet unobtrusive. The Rio is primarily designed for indoor
use but can be used outside under an appropriate awning, umbrella canopy, etc.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is guaranteed only by
its correct usage in accordance with these instructions, therefore it is recommended that they are
retained for future reference.
Caution
Before using this appliance:
●
Check that the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the mains supply voltage.
●
Ensure that the heater has been securely fastened in its final mounting position.
●
Disconnect from the mains by removing the plug from its socket, during installation, cleaning and/or
replacing the emitter and always ensure that the emitter is cool.
●
Do not handle the halogen lamp with bare hands. If it is inadvertently touched, remove finger marks with
a soft cloth and methylated spirit or alcohol. Otherwise, the marks will burn into the quartz glass causing
premature heater failure.
●
Do not use an extension cable with this product.
●
Keep the mains cable away from the body of the heater which will get hot during use.
●
Do not cover or obstruct the heater while it is in use.
●
Ensure that children do not tamper with the heater.
●
Do not insert any object through any slot or opening in the heater.
●
Do not use if guard is not present.
●
Always install following the minimum mounting height.
●
Warning - This appliance must be earthed!
Risk of Fire
Keep combustible materials such as furniture, papers, clothes and curtains at least
1.8m (6 feet) from the front of the heater and away from the sides and rear. If the
lamp is to be used outside, we recommend that a waterproof or indoor socket is used.
