Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions  
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when  
• 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.  
designing and manufacturing consumer products,  
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:  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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 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 immerse the appliance in water  
or any other liquid unless recommended.  
• 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.

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 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.  
• 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.  
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparing parts  
inside. Do not use it in areas where petrol,  
paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

Sunbeam’s Total Safety System  
Safety auto shut off  
Thermal back-up fuse  
Your Sunbeam Micro Furnace Heater is  
equipped with a safety system that detects  
any abnormally high temperatures within  
the heater and automatically shuts it off to  
prevent overheating. This first stage of the  
safety system requires the user to manually  
reset the heater for it to resume operation.  
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 ceramic heating discs and fan.  
This fuse cannot be reset, so in the event  
that the back-up fuse is activated, the  
heater will need to be replaced.  
For instructions on how to reset your  
heater, see page 6.

Features of your 2000W  
Micro Furnace heater  
Electronic thermostat  
The electronic thermostat works with the  
external temperature sensor to maintain your  
selected temperature. It constantly monitors  
the room’s temperature and continuously  
varies the heat output to maintain your  
desired comfort level.  
Ceramic disc heating system  
Each ceramic disc contains 1200 honeycomb  
shaped holes that heat all of the air that  
passes through them, generating up to 40%  
more warmth than conventional coil or  
ceramic chip heaters.  
External temperature sensor  
The temperature sensor is located at the rear  
of the unit, not inside the heater itself, to  
ensure accurate temperature measurement.  
It detects even the slightest change in the  
room’s temperature, and communicates  
this to the electronic thermostat.  
Tip over cut-out  
Should your heater accidentally be  
knocked over, the instant tip over cut will  
automatically interrupt power to the heating  
element and fan. The heater will not resume  
operation until it is replaced in the upright  
position.

approximately 1 metre from any wall or  
other objects such as furniture, curtains,  
plants or combustible material, and ensure  
that the air intake and outlet are clear of  
obstructions.  
Note: For most efficient heating, place the  
heater on the floor where the air is cooler,  
near an outside door, the bottom of a  
staircase, or where colder air is most likely  
to be entering the room.  
2. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power  
outlet and turn the power on. The red  
power light will illuminate and the screen  
will display the ambient room temperature.
