IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- To avoid fire or shock hazards, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
- The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
- DO NOT run the cord under the carpeting. DO NOT cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange the cord away from the traffic area so that it will not be tripped over.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. NEVER locate a heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
- 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.
- When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
- DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
- DO NOT operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or is damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- Use appliances only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by The Holmes Group may cause hazards.
- DO NOT use outdoors.
- 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.
- To disconnect the heater, turn the controls to OFF, then remove plug from the outlet.
- 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 shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
- If the heater will not operate, see specific instructions on Auto Safety Shut-off.
- DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user-serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
- Discontinue use if the plug or outlet is hot. It is recommended that the outlet be replaced if the plug or outlet is hot to the touch.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED PLUG (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY
