● There is a thermostat limiter inside the heater. When the inner temperature over heats
or abnormal heating occurs, the thermostat protective device will cut off power supply
to avoid risk of fire or damage to the heater.
● 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 the heater.
● To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use
on soft surfaces, like a bed, where opening may become blocked.
● The 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.
● Use this heater only as described in the manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
● Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension
cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/ power strip).

HEATER LOCATION
When choosing a location for your new heater, ensure that the general instructions are
followed. Also, for best effect, install the heater out of direct sunlight. Cold climate
installation recommendation: when installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior
wall or chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable
insulation codes.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably,
the heater will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause
the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the current rating of the current tap. Always plug heaters directly
into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap
(outlet/ power strip).
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furniture and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.6 m) from
