GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read all instructions before using Heater.
2. Use this Heater only as descr ibed in this man ual. An y other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons.
3. Make certain that the po wer source conforms to the electr ical require-
ments of the Heater.
