dren when they are in the room 

with fireplace.

when running. Keep children and 

adults away from hot surfaces to 

avoid burns or clothing ignition.

time after shutdown. Allow sur-

faces to cool before touching.

Do not install fireplace directly 

on  carpet  or  similar  surface 

which may restrict air circulation 

beneath unit.

tions  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  this 

heater.

2.  Keep  combustible  materials,  such  as 

furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes 

and curtains away from front of heater.

3.  This heater is hot when in use. To avoid 

burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfac-

es. The grill directly in front of heater outlet 

becomes hot during heater operation.

4.  Extreme caution is necessary when any 

heater is used and whenever heater is left 

operating and unattended.

5.  Always unplug heater when not in use.
6.  Do not operate any heater with a damaged 

cord or plug or if heater malfunctions or

for examination, electrical or mechanical 

adjustment or repair.

cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the 

like. Arrange cord away from traffic area 

and where it will not be tripped over.

10. To disconnect heater, turn controls to the 

OFF before removing plug from outlet.

11. 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 the heater.

12. To prevent possible fire, do not block air 

intakes in any manner. Do not use on soft 

surfaces, like a bed, where openings may 

become blocked.

13. Always use properly grounded fused and
