to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
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. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at
least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater 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 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. Discard heater
or return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or
mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use the heater outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar
indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into bathtub or other
water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or
similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord
away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
9.
CAUTION:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a
polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this
safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.
10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit,
do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
11.
CAUTION:
It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose
fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn
outlet.
12. To disconnect the heater, first tum controls to the 0 position, then remove plug
from outlet. Never pull by the cord.
13. 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.
14.
CAUTION:
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use
with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
15. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the areas
where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. 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.
