other type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be fitted in the

Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near
to, but not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket,
ensuring at least 300mm clearance from any shelf above.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the
chosen position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
