Hazard

A total number of 3 units have been identified where faulty wiring has resulted in fire during operation. On affected units the compressor power cord was too short causing it to contact internal pipework. This can lead to damage to the power cord insulation leading to arcing and fire. The product was not in conformity with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
