When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to

reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.

2. This appliance gets very hot when in use. To prevent burns, do not touch hot sur-

faces with bare skin. Use the handle when moving the appliance. Keep all flam-

mable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and cur-

tains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front and top of the appliance also avoid

contact with the sides and back.

3. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised

to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet when the appliance is not in

use.

5.

Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after faulty opera-

tion, or when it has been dropped or damaged in any way. Contact the nearest

authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment,

or repair.

6. Do not use the appliance outdoors.

7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar indoor

locations.  Never position the appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or come

in contact with water.

8. Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,

runners, or the like. Keep the cord away from any passageways where it could be

tripped over.

9. To disconnect the appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.

10.Do not wrap the cord around the appliance immediately after use.

11.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into the air intake or air outlet grille,

as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the appliance.

12.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or air outlet grille in any way.

Do not use the appliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the openings may

become blocked.

13.Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating

and the risk of fire.

14.The internal parts of the appliance can become very hot or produce sparks during

operation. Do not use the appliance in areas where gasoline, paints, or other

flammable liquids are used or stored.

15.Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not indicated

by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

16.To prevent current overload and blown fuses, make sure that no other appliance is

plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.

17.It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. However, an

excessively hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and may be the result of a

defective electrical outlet. Defective outlets must be replaced before using the hea-

ter. Plugging the heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power

cord or may cause the risk of fire.

by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed and qualified professional.

19.Always plug the heater directly to a wall outlet. Never use with an extension cord
