Assembling GOC155

1. Carefully turn the heater upside-down on a non-scratching and stable surface to prevent damage to the paint finish or your floor surfacing.
2. Remove the dome nut from the castors, and fit the castor thread through the castor mounting plate. Replace the dome nut and tighten it with a spanner.
3. Fit the castor plates onto the heater by placing the U-shaped bolt between the outermost fin away from the control side of the heater. Place one of the castor plates with the castors pointing to the outside of the heater onto the U-Bolt and secure it with the wing nut.
4. Attach the second castor plate (right angle version) to the bottom of the control panel with the castors pointing forwards to the outside of the heater, then securely fasten the castor plate onto the heater with the two screws.

Operating Your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions.

WARNING
To avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.

WARNING
Keep all objects at least 1 meter from the front, sides, and rear of the appliance.

WARNING
Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system, or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
