DO NOT PLUG THE HEATER INTO ANY OTHER CORD CONNECTED DEVICE, SUCH AS A POWER STRIP, SURGE PROTECTOR, MULTIPLE OUTLET ADAPTER, CORD REEL OR OUTLET-TYPE AIR FRESHENER. THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. PLUG UNIT DIRECTLY INTO A 120V WALL OUTLET ONLY.
FAULTY WALL OUTLET CONNECTIONS MAY CAUSE THE WALL OUTLET TO OVERHEAT. BE SURE THAT HEATER PLUG FITS TIGHTLY INTO THE OUTLET BEFORE EACH USE.

Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids. The Heater should not be left operating unattended. Never leave children unattended when the heater is on or plugged in.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

Arrange Power Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be tripped over.

OPERATION (Figure 1)

ToLife-N2-PERSONAL-CERAMIC-HEATER-fig.1

Carefully remove the Heater from the bag and the carton.
Plastic or rubber tabs, like the feet on this unit, may stick to furniture surfaces and/or hardwood floors. The unit may leave a residue that could darken, stain or leave permanent blemishes on the finish of certain furniture surfaces, including wood surfaces, and/or hardwood floors.
Place the Heater on a firm, level surface.
Make certain the Heater Power Knob is in the OFF position before plugging unit into an outlet.
Plug the cord set into a 120 volt outlet. Be sure that the plug fits tightly into outlet. When plugs fit loosely into receptacles, they may slip partially or completely out of the receptacle with only the slight movement of the attached cord. Receptacles in this condition may overheat and pose a serious fire hazard; if covered by a curtain or drape, the fire hazard is even greater.
To turn the Heater on push the Power button to the On (I) position. The red light will remain lit while the Heater is on. (Figure 1)
To turn the Heater off, push the Power button to the Off (0) position (the red light on display will turn off) and unplug the Heater from the electrical outlet. (Figure 1).
