as a heater. Faulty wall outlet connections may cause the wall outlet to
overheat. Be sure that the heater plug fits tightly into the outlet before
each use. During use, check to make certain the heater plug is not
overheating. If necessary have a qualified electrician check and/or replace
the wall outlet. Do not use this heater with any solid-state speed control
