GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read all instructions before using Heater.
2. 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.
3. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical
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. Under no circum-
stances should the ground prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. This work must be done by a qualified elec-
trician, using copper wires only.
DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG ADAPTER. IMPROPER CONNEC-
TION MAY CAUSE THIS RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH
ADAPTERS IS 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 ensuring that
they are UL listed, a minimum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than
1875 watts. Never use a single extension cord to operate more
than one Heater.
7. Do not operate any Heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the
Heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return Heater to authorized service facility for examination, electri-
cal or mechanical adjustment or repair.
8. Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the Heater. Al-
ways unplug Heater when not in use.
