tripped over.
9. To disconnect heater, first turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.

AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug.
Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
17. The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense
enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons
with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
