GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read all instructions before using Heater.
2. Use this Heater only as descr ibed in this man ual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons.
3. Make certain that the po wer source conforms to the electr ical require-
ments of the Heater.
4. Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left operating unat-
tended.
5. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that m
ust
be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances should
the ground prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall recep-
tacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electr ical
Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work
must be done by a qualified electrician, using copper wires only.
DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG ADAPTER. IMPROPER CONNEC-
TION MAY CAUSE THIS RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH
ADAPTERS IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
6. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the extension
cord may overheat and cause a r isk of fire. If they must be used, mini-
mize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL listed, a mini-
mum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 w atts. Never use a single
extension cord to operate more than one Heater.
7. Do not operate any Heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the Heater
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return Heater

exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the
Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while it is
in operation.
10. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any man-
ner. Do not place on soft surf aces, like a bed, where openings may be-

hot surfaces. Always use handle when mo ving this Heater. Keep com-
bustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and
curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the Heater and keep them
at least 1 foot (0.3 m) from the sides and rear.
