15.To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the
same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
16.It is normal for the heater's plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord
that becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn
electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the
heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating of the
power cord or fire.
17.Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate of the potenial of tipping it
over.
18.We do not recommend use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk of
fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should be NO. 14 AWG
minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying
power to this heater. The cord should be as short as possible(long cords coild up can
overheat, as well as tripping accidents) and not used to supply power with more
than one appliance at a time.
19.Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that
receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for
signs of overheating or deformations present in the plug. Should this occur, do not
use the receptacle if deteriorated. CALL your electrician.
20.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way
during transportation.
21.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left
between one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the
appliance with an vacuum cleaner.
22.When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight odour which
is normal with new appliances. Allow odours to dissipate by running the appliance at
full power for about ten minutes. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is
located is well ventilated during this operation.This heater draws 12.5 amps during
operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that
already has other appliances working.
23.Do not in locations when the heater will be left unattended for long periods of time.
(For example - in an unoccupied summer cottage)
24.Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH W IDE BLADE OF PLUG TO
WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
