Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
• This heater becomes hot during use. To avoid
burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. 
If provided, use handles when moving this 
heater. Keep combustible materials such as 
furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and 
curtains at least 3 feet (90cm) away from the 
front of the heater and keep them away from 
the sides and rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children or invalids and 
whenever the heater is left unattended.
• Always unplug the heater when not in use.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not run the cord of the heater under 
carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw 
rugs, runners or other floor coverings. Arrange 
the cord away from traffic areas where it will 
not be tripped over.
• Do not locate the heater immediately below a
socket outlet.
• Do not use this heater in the immediate
surrounds of a bath, shower, laundry area or 
swimming pool.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter
any ventilation or exhaust openings as this may 
cause electric shock or fire, or damage to the 
heater.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air
intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use 
on soft surfaces, such as beds, where opening 
may become blocked.
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol, 
paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
• To prevent overheating, do not cover the
heater.
•
When turned on for the first time, your 
new heater will emit a slight odour for 
up to 8 hours. This is due to the initial 
heating of the materials used. It is safe, not 
detrimental to the performance of the heater 
and will not reoccur. Sunbeam advises that 
the heater be placed in a well ventilated 
area during this period.
