IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic 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 heater.
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let
bare skin touch hot surfaces. The trim around the heater
outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep com-
bustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the
front of the unit and keep them away from the sides and
rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used
by or near children or invalids and whenever the unit is
left operating and unattended.
4. Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Discon-
nect power at the service panel and have the heater in-
spected by a reputable electrician before reusing.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, and then
switch off at main power supply panel.
7. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any venti-
lation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric
shock or fire, or damage to the heater.
8. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or ex-
haust in any manner.
9. All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking
parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint,
or flammable liquids are used or stored.
10. Do not modify this heater. Use it only as described in
this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.

Installation Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of
the heater.
CAUTION: High temperature, risk of fire, keep electrical
cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at
least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater.
! NOTE: It is extremely important to read all information
labels. Care must be taken to ensure that the heater is
rated the same voltage as the electrical supply wires.
Failure to do so could result in unsafe heater operation as
well as damage to the unit. If replacing an existing heater,
check the labels of the old heater to ensure the voltage of
the new heater is compatible.
! NOTE: Care must be taken to prevent undue strain on all
wiring or heating element assembly, when removing and
re-assembling heating element assembly.
CAUTION: For field rewiring to 120V all leads must be
secured under wire clamps.
! NOTE: Air and grille temperatures conform to CSA & UL
regulations but may discolour certain materials, particu-
larly those materials incorporating clear vinyl. Materials
should be checked prior to installation to determine if
discolouration or distortion would occur in the vicinity of
60° C (140° F)
