IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surface. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least
3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater. Also, keep these materials away from
the sides and rear of the heater.
2. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or
invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating unattended.
3. Always unplug the heater when not in use.
4. Do not operate the heater if the cord or plug is damaged or if the heater
malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to
an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, and repair.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. 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 water
container.
7. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or
anything similar. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will not be
tripped over.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch. However, a loose
fit between theAC outlet (receptacle) and the plug may cause overheating, and
may distort the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn
outlet.
11. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the
plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. A heater has hot and sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline,
paint, or flammable liquids are stored or nearby.
