SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER. 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 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 crackling 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 feet
(0.9 meters) 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.
DANGER:
High temperatures may be generated under certain abnormal
conditions. Do not partially or fully cover or obstruct the front of this heater.
CAUTION:
This appliance has a polargzed plus (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it sill does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
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.
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.
