after a few minutes of use.

bathroom, laundry area, or similar locations, or near sinks, washing machines, swimming
pools or other sources of water. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water container. Do not use heater outdoors. Do not use in damp environments such
as flooded basements.

1. Plug the heater directly into 120volt A.C., 60 Hz electrical outlet. Ensure the plug fits tightly
in the electrical outlet. A loose connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug

To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that is servicing
other electrical needs. Ensure that the heater is at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from walls,
furniture, and other obstacles.

setting. Use the 800 watt setting to raise the room temperature quickly. Use the 400 watt
setting to maintain the room temperature.
3. Rotate the control dial to the OFF position to turn off the heater. Unplug the heater when
