during operation. To prevent overloading a
circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that
already has other appliances working.
12. Warning – It is normal for the plug to feel
warm to the touch; however, a loose fit
between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug
may cause overheating and distortion of the
plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace
loose or worn outlet.
13. Warning – To disconnect the heater, first turn
off the product, then grip the plug body and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the
cord.
14. Warning – DO NOT insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause an electric shock
or fire, or damage the heater.
15. Warning – To prevent a possible fire, do not
block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, or
where openings may become blocked.
16. Warning – A heater has hot and arcing or
sparking parts inside. DO NOT use it in areas
where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are
used or stored.
17. Warning – Use 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.
ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
• Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
• In the Honeywell HeatGenius Ceramic Heater, air is drawn into the back of the heater by two fans,
TM
through the ceramic elements and out the front of the heater to gently introduce warm air into the room.
• This type of heating technology provides consistent, even heating.
• For best results, place heater on the floor and allow heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum
heat output.
