IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
DANGER
- To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surface.
If provided, always use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet from
the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or
invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
• Always unplug the heater when not in use.
• Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, if the heater malfunctions,
has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to authorized service
facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
• This heater is not intended for use in bathroom, laundry areas and similar
moist indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water container.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners
or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it can be tripped over.
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.
• 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.
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.
• To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the OFF position, then remove
plug from outlet. Never pull by the cord.
• 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.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Do not use on soft surface, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• 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.
• 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.
CAUTION: Avoid the use of an extension cord because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if
you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be No.14 AWG
minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
• 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.
• Always unplug the heater from the electrical outlet immediately after using and
before cleaning.
• DO NOT place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or
blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
• DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it
immediately.
• DO NOT use while bathing or in the shower.
• DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or
sink.
• DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• NEVER use pins or other metallic fasteners with this appliance.
• Keep dry - DO NOT operate in a wet or moist condition.
WARNING
-

• An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use and before putting on or taking off parts or attachments.
• Extreme cautiion is necessary when this appliance is used by, on or near children,
invalids or disabled persons.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by The Sharper Image; specifically any attachments not

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
• DO NOT operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered.
• DO NOT operate under a blanket or pillow. Excessive heating can occur and cause fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
• DO NOT carry this appliance by the power cord or use cord as handle.
• To disconnect, turn all controls to the “off” position, then remove plug from outlet.
• This appliance is designed for personal, non-professional use only.
• DO NOT use outdoors.
• Check your heater cord and plug connections.
a) Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat.
Be sure the plug fits tight in the outlet.
b) Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may
occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
c) During use check frequency to determine if your plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! If so,
discontinue use of the heater and have a qualified electrician check and/or replace the
faulty outlet(s).
