HEATER SAFETY
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. | Read all instructions before using the appliance. |
2. | To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance direct- |
| ly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. |
3. | The 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. Keep combustible |
| materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, |
| clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front |
| of the heater and keep them away from the sides and |
| rear. |
4. | DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover |
| cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord |
| away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped |
| over. |
11. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. |
DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flam- |
mable liquids are used or stored. |
12. Use appliance only for intended household use as |
described in this manual. Any other use not recom- |
mended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric |
shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not |
recommended or sold by The Holmes Group may |
cause hazards. |
13. DO NOT use outdoors. |
14. To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or |
exhaust in any manner. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, |
like a bed, where openings may become blocked. |
15. To disconnect heater, turn controls to Off, then remove |
plug from outlet. |
16. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the exten- |
sion cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. |
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the |
cord should be No. 14AWG minimum size and rated |
not less than 1875 watts. |
17. If the heater will not operate, see specific instructions |
on Auto Safety Shut-off. |
18. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or |
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void |
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user |
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by |
qualified personnel only. |
