Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate outlet. Please remember that outlets also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs of overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the outlet and CALL your electrician.

Danger of burns!!
Failure to observe the warning could result in burns or scalds.

This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving this heater.
