IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when unit is first operated.
Don't be alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil
during the manufacturing process. It will quickly evaporate and should not
re-occur.
Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated
during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking
sounds when you turn it on for the first time. Do not be alarmed.
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK
AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.
Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains
at least 3 ft. (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the
sides and rear. Ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and rear
of heater to adjacent walls. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so as not to
block the air intake.
3. Extreme and reasonable supervision is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children, invalids or pets and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet.
Never yank on cord.
5. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to "OFF.", then remove the plug from outlet.
6. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions or
has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility
for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations.
Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
9. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like.
Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic areas
where it will not be tripped over. Route the cord so that it will not be walked on or
pinched by furniture.
10. Connect to properly grounded outlets only. Check heater voltage and amperage on the
back of the heater to make sure it agrees with the electric service supplied.

may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
