PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons or property,
including the following:
When switching on the appliance for the first 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 for the first 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' (0.9 m) from
the front and top of the heater 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 by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities 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 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 bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor
locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
8. Do not place power cord under carpeting. Do not cover power cord with throw
rugs, runners or the like. Do not route power cord under furniture or appliances.
Arrange power cord away from traffic area and 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, fire or damage to the heater.
12. To prevent possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do
not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
DANGER:
High temperatures may be generated under certain abnormal
conditions. Do not partially or fully cover or obstruct the front of this heater.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG
TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.
PET OWNERS WARNING:
The health of some small pets, including birds, is
extremely sensitive to the fumes produced during the first-time use of many
appliances. These fumes are not harmful to humans but we recommended
that you do not use your heater around birds and small pets during its initial
use until the manufacturing corrosion (anti-corrosion) coatings burn off.
13. A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where
gasoline, paint or flammable 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 fire, 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 fire.
17. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of it
tipping over.
18. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
19. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Please
remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check
periodically for signs of overheating or deformations evidenced on the plug. Do not
use the receptacle and call your electrician.
20. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cord has been damaged in any way
during transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left
between elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to clean the appliance with
a vacuum cleaner.
