IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
: POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL HAZARD IF NOT ADHERED TO. 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:
• This heater must be plugged into a 120 V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Do not plug anything
else into the same circuit. If unsure if your home meets this specification, consult a certified
electrician prior to use.
Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or
even death may result if not adhered to!
• Connect to a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet only. Do not connect the heater to extension cords,
surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other appliances connected to the same
outlet.
Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may
result if not adhered to!
• This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles
(certain models) or wheels to move this heater.
• Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear of the
heater.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids, pets, or when
the heater is left operating unattended.
• Always unplug the heater when not in use.
• Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped, or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for resolution options.
• Do not use outdoors. Exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, snow, sun, wind, or extreme
temperatures may cause the heater to become a safety hazard.
• This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar indoor locations, nor
any locations that use GFCI outlets.
• Never place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacles.
• Do not run the cord under carpet. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
• The heater must be plugged into a wall outlet that is a dedicated circuit with a minimum 15 amp
rating on that individual circuit.
• To disconnect the heater, first turn the power button to the OFF position and then remove the plug
from the wall outlet.
• Do not allow foreign objects to enter or block any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
• Allow at least 3 ft. of unobstructed space to the front and rear of the heater to allow for maximum
heat, air, and ventilation flow.
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint,
or flammable liquids are used or stored, nor use flammable solvents to clean the heater. Keep the
heater dry at all times.
• 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.
• Do not use abrasive solvents to clean the heater as it may cause
damage to the finish or casing.
