WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR
PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
When switching on the appliance for the fi rst time, allow it to run at full power for
about two hours to get rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in
which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal
for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on if the fi rst time.
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 surfaces.
Use handle when moving the unit. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the front and top of
the radiator and keep them away from the sides and rear. Keep the rear grille away from
walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
3. Extreme caution and supervision is necessary when any heater is used near children or
pets 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 the heater to an authorized service
facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
6. DO NOT use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in any area where there is standing water. NEVER locate
heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
8. DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffi c area where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from the outlet.
10. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
11. DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this
may cause electric shock, fi re or damage to the heater.
12. To prevent possible fi re, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. DO NOT use on
soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
13. A heater has hot or arcing or sparking pads inside. DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline,
paint or fl ammable liquids are used or stored.
14. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fi re, electric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the
same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord
which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn
electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the
heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating of the
power cord or fi re.
17. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of tipping it over.
18. We DO NOT recommend use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk
of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should be No. 14 AWG
minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying
power to this heater.
19. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that
receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs
of overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. DO NOT use the receptacle and CALL
your electrician.
20. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during
transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left
