IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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 the heater.
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. The trim around the heater
outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the unit 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 unit is
left operating and unattended.
4. Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect power at the service panel and have the heater
inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.
5. Do not use outdoors.

To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, and then switch off at main power supply panel.
7. 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 to the heater.
