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.

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

• 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.

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.
Power/Mode light
The power light illuminates amber to indicate
that the heater is connected to the power
outlet and is set to AUTO mode. It
illuminates green when the heater is set to
MANUAL mode.

Temperature light
The temperature light illuminates red once
the selected temperature level is reached.
Removable dust filter
The filter collects dirt and dust from the air
circulating through the heater. It is

Using your heater
MF2000 Micro Furnace Ceramic Disc Heater
1. Place the heater on a flat level surface,
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.
3. Press the Standby button to select the
desired operating mode. Press it once to
select the AUTO mode, or twice to select
MANUAL mode.
The selected temperature (in degrees
celsius) will flash several times to indicate
that it is set. The screen will then return
to displaying the current room
temperature. The thermostat will continue
to vary the heat output to maintain your
selected temperature.
5. In MANUAL mode, use the + and –
buttons to select the desired heat setting,
from H1 to H5. The selected setting will
flash several times to indicate that it is
set. The screen will then return to
displaying the room temperature. The
heater will operate constantly at the
selected heat level, without monitoring the
room temperature.
6. To switch between operating modes or turn
the heater off, press the standby button.
7. Switch the power off at the power outlet
