SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all instructions before using this appliance and observe the following safety tips:
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch the hot surface. Always use the handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
- Always unplug the heater when not in use.
- Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, if the heater malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the heater to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
- Do not use the heater outdoors.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar humid indoor locations. Never locate the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
- Do not run a cord under the carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners or similar items. Arrange the cord away from high-traffic areas where it can be tripped over.
- CAUTION: 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. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- This heater draws 12.5 A during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
- CAUTION: 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 a loose or worn outlet.
- To disconnect the heater, first turn the controls to the OFF position, then remove the plug from the outlet. Never pull by the cord.
- No object should be inserted into any part of the heater at any time.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
- A heater has hot and arcing parts inside. Do not use it in the areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- 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.
- CAUTION: Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord must be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 W.
- The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
- Before using the unit, check if the voltage indicated corresponds with the intended outlet (120V).
