IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Retain this User’s Guide for Future Reference

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed 

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

following:
1. 

Read all instructions before using the stove.

2.  The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch 

hot surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater 

operation. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, 

papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the 

unit.

  CAUTION:  High Temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery, and  

other furnishings at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater 

and away from the side and rear

.

3.  Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children 

or invalids and whenever the unit is left operating and unattended.

4.  Always unplug the stove when not in use.
5.  Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater 

has malfunctioned, or if the stove has been dropped or damaged in any 

manner. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, 

electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.  

6. 

Do not use outdoors.

7. 

The stove is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar 

indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or 

other water container.

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

runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will 

not be tripped over.

9.  To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the 

outlet.

10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust 

opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage to the 

heater.

11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner.  

Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become 

blocked.

12. All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not 

use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored 

or where the unit will be exposed to flammable vapors.
