Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer prod-
ucts, but it is essential that the product user
also exercise care when using an electrical
appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:
•
•
Do not use an appliance for any purpose other
than its intended use.
Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do
not place on top of any other appliance.
Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for
adjustment or repair if required.
•
•
•
•
Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
•
•
Turn the power off and remove the plug when
the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
•
Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for
examination, repair or adjustment.
For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend
the use of a residual current device (RCD)
with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in
the electrical circuit supplying power to your
appliances.
Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.
Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or infirm
persons.
Never leave an appliance unattended while in
use.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid.
Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Safety Precautions For
Your Heater
•
•
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.
•
•
•
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.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the heater is left unattended.
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.
•
•
•
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.
•
•
•
In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the
heater.
This heater is only to be used with the castors
fitted and in good condition.
Your Sunbeam Smartheat™ heater is filled
with a precise quantity of special oil. Repairs
requiring opening of the oil container are only
to be made by Sunbeam or its service agents
who should be contacted if there is an oil leak.
When scrapping the heater at the end of its
useful life, follow local regulations concerning
the disposal of oil.

Sunbeam’s Total Safety System
Adjustable thermostat
Thermal back-up fuse
Your Sunbeam Smartheat™ oil filled radiator
features an adjustable thermostat which
detects the temperature in the vicinity of the
heater and switches the heating element off
when a preset temperature is reached.
In addition to this automatic cut-off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If the
heater is in an overheat situation, the back-up
fuse will open, stopping the power flow to
the heating element. This fuse cannot be
reset, so in the event that the back-up fuse is
activated, the heater will need to be replaced.
Safety auto shutoff
If the appliance overheats for any reason,
a switch automatically activates to turn the
heater off. For added safety, you must remove
the plug from the wall and wait till the heater
cools down before the heater can be switched
back on.
