moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothes and curtains at least
48" (1500 watt) / 66" (3000 watt) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
Do not
install closer than the minimum clearances to any surface.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or persons that may not have reasonable
judgement around appliances. The heater should not be left unattended while operating.

from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
8. To disconnect heater, turn control OFF (if provided), then remove plug from outlet.
9. Connect to properly grounded outlet only. The heater should
always
be connected to a grounded circuit. If a GFCI
socket is not available, GFCI adapters can be purchased locally. Heater must be installed according to NEC and all
local electrical codes. Be sure the electrical supply is adequate for the heater (voltage/amps/phase) while allowing for
line losses. Use supply wires suitable for 90° C.
10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter the heater or block any ventilation openings as this may cause an electric
shock or fire, or damage the heater. Do not cover or obstruct the heater while operating.

clearances are respected, and that the heater is not in direct contact with the tent or awning material.
15. Allow for user angle and directional adjustment, if possible, as heating requirements change. The optimal mounting
angle is between directly down and 45°. Comfort is best obtained with the heater off to one side and angled at 35°.
Install heaters so that items in the infrared beam do not overheat.
