be tripped over. The cord should not hang over edges of counters
or be placed where it can be crimped or closed in doors. Place
appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be
unplugged quickly during an emergency.
- Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.
SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons, observe the following:
- 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.
- Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation.
- Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect heater from
the outlet, turn controls off, then grasp and pull only the plug.
- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, or cleaning turn off the
power and then unplug. Also, power off and unplug if the product
will be left unattended for an extended period of time or during
electrical storms. Unattended and unsupervised use of this heater is
not recommended.
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare
skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving
this heater.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) To reduce the risk of electrical 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 still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use
with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet. Note: GFCI outlets are typically
found in bathrooms and kitchens and feature a “reset” button to
prevent tripping of an electrical circuit.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that
all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is
compatible with your outlet’s power supply.

WARNING:
To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and electric
shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a
dimmer control switch. Use of this appliance on the same electrical
circuit as another high energy use product, such as a vacuum
cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised.
Do not use this heater with a timer designed to automatically turn
the unit on or off, as this may accidentally disable the heater’s
thermal cutout safety feature.
- Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another high
energy use product, such as a vaccum cleaner, blender, variable
speed fan or circular saw.
- Risk of fire. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug
or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in
any matter. Discard heater or return to an authorized service center.
See page 13 for contact information.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch
the power 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.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting outlet
can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure plug fits tight
in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and
outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet
replaced by a qualified electrician.

Note:
Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with
the other appliances.
