other flammable liquids are used or stored.

However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be of a No. 14 AWG minimum size, and should be rated no
less than 1875 watts.
• This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that
is already being used to power other appliances.
• While it is normal for the heater’s plug to feel warm to the touch, a loose fit between the plug and the electrical outlet
may cause overheating and warping of the plug. If the outlet is loose, contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or
worn outlets.
• Do not allow water to splash on the heater. If the heater appears to be damp, discontinue its use immediately.
• The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin.
Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or inability to react to avoid burns.
•
Service of the heater other than cleaning should be performed by an authorized service center.
No user serviceable parts inside. Only authorized service personnel shall handle repair work.
• The appliance has an internal over-temperature safety device, which automatically switches the heater off, if an
over-heat situation is detected. Manually reset the unit once the heater cools off.
• When the unit cools off, if you notice the safety device still switches off the heater, unplug the unit, wait 30 seconds to
a minute, and plug in again. This will trigger the unit and it will switch on.
