GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Read all instructions before using this Heater.
2.
Use this Heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electrical shock, or injury to persons.
3.
Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Heater.
4.
Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is
left operating unattended.
5.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
6.
DO NOT plug Heater into any other cord connected device, such as a power strip, surge protector, multiple outlet adapters or
outlet-type air fresheners. The use of such devices may create a fire hazard. Plug unit directly into a 120V wall outlet only.
7.
Avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have
to use an extension cord, minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL listed. The cord shall be a 3-wire,
grounding type, with No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts. NEVER use a single extension cord
to operate more than one Heater.
8.
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.
9.
To disconnect Heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove plug from outlet.
10. Always unplug Heater when not in use. Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the Heater.
WARNING:
DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER
WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
11. Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock,
fire, or damage the Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while it is in operation.
12. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not place on soft surfaces, like a bed,
where openings may become blocked.
13. Always place the Heater on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid the chance of the Heater overturning.
Locate the Power Cord so the Heater or other objects are not resting on it. Do not run Power Cord under carpeting. Do not
cover Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange Power Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be
tripped over.
14. This Heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Always use handle 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 at least 1 foot (0.3 m) from the sides and rear.
15. A Heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use the Heater in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable
liquids are used or stored. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-
laden or wet atmospheres. This Heater is intended for general use ONLY.
16. This Heater is not intended for use in wet or damp locations. This Heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas
and similar indoor locations. Never locate a Heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
