GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1.Use this Heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.

2.This Heater is intended for GENERAL USE ONLY.

3.Make certain that the power source conforms to the elec- trical requirements of the Heater.

4.Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left operating unattended.

5.The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Un- der no circumstances must the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is en- countered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded

three-prong receptacle, installed in accordance with the Na- tional Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be done only by a quali- fied electrician, using copper wire only.

WARNING: USE OF A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG ADAPTER IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IMPROPER CONNEC- TION MAY CREATE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH ADAPTERS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.

6.Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If they must be used, minimize the risk of overheating by en- suring that they are CUL/UL listed, a minimum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 watts and of proper length. Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one Heater.
