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 this heater.
2.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surface. If
provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as
furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the
front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
3.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids
and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
5.
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions,
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.
This heater is rated at 1500W, 120 VAC. It is intended for use on tabletops, desktops and
floors. It is not to be used in wet or moist locations, such as bathrooms and laundry
areas. If an extension cord must be used, it must be 14 gauge or larger and rated no less
than 1875 watts. Keep combustible materials (clothes, drapes, bedding, etc.) at least 3 ft.
(0.9m) from the sides and rear of the heater.
8.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will not be tripped over.
9.
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a grounded plug as shown in
Fig. 1
. An
adapter is available at retail (not included) for connecting three-blade grounding-type
plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a property grounded outlet box. The
adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not
plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
11. It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC
outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
12. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the
OFF
position, then grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
13. 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.
14. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use
on soft surface, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
15. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
