PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING HEATER!
¾The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surface. Use handles when moving this heater.
Keep combustible materials, such as drapery and other furnishings, at least 3 feet (0.9M) from the front of the heater and away from its sides and rear.
¾Do not leave the heater unattended while it is in operation.
¾Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or pets, or when the heater is left operating or unattended.
¾Do not use outdoors. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
¾This heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
¾Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening. This may cause electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.
¾To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
¾Do not operate this appliance on soft surfaces. The air inlet openings can become blocked.
¾Avoid using an extension cord. The extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If an extension cord must be used, the conductor wire inside the cord must be No.14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
¾Do not run cord under carpet, and do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Place the cord away from traffic areas where it will not be tripped over.
¾The heater must not be placed immediately below an outlet.
¾Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug, after the heater malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If the heater is damaged, it must be serviced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified service agent to ensure safety.
¾Connect the heater to properly grounded outlets only.
¾Use 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.
¾Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
WARNING: This heater is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug is intended to fit into a power outlet only one way, with the wide blade in the wide slot. This is a safety feature, if you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.
