This appliance gets very hot when in use. To prevent burns, do not touch hot surfaces with bare skin. Use the
handle when moving the appliance. Keep all flammable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
paper, clothing, and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front and top of the appliance also avoid con-
tact with the sides and back.
3.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal 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 operation, 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 heater. Plugging the heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the
power cord or may cause the risk of fire.
18. If the supply cord is damaged, to reduce the risk of malfunction it must be replaced 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 or relocable power tap.
20. Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time, so check the
plug periodically for signs of overheating or deformation. If the outlet has deteriorated, stop using it and
have it repaired.

22. Make sure that no styrofoam or other packing materials remain in the appliance.
