IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!

WARNING

• Read all instructions before using this heater!

• This 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 feet (0.9m) 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.

• DO NOT operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

• DO NOT run power cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover power cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. DO NOT route power cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange power cord away from traffic area, and where it will not be tripped over.

• DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.

• To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Doing so could cause a fire. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

• 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 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.

• ALWAYS plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. NEVER use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

• DO NOT place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.

• NEVER use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other location where the heater could fall into a bathtub or pool, become damp, or come in contact with water.

• AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they are free from dust, lint, or other blockage. Unplug the unit and clean with a vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.

• NEVER hang this unit on a wall directly below an electrical outlet.

• NEVER permanently install in a recessed area of the wall. This may result in blocked air flow, overheating, or fire.

• ALWAYS mount to wall bracket before use.

• NEVER use a wall mount bracket from another manufacturer.
  WARNING : DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

• WARNING : REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK—DO NOT USE THIS HEATER WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICES.

• For residential use only! NOT for commercial use! Any commercial or public use of this heater voids all warranties, and could cause injury.

• This product is not intended to be a primary heat source. It is for supplemental heat only.

• INDOOR use only! NEVER use this heater outdoors! Doing so may result in electric shock!

• Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts inside!

• NEVER modify this heater. Doing so could result in personal injury or property damage. Modification of this fireplace completely voids all warranties.

• ALWAYS turn this heater off before unplugging it from the outlet.

• ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or cleaning, or before relocating the electric fireplace.

• NEVER leave this heater unattended. ALWAYS unplug this heater when not in use.

• ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.

• ONLY use this heater on a 120V AC 15-Amp circuit. NEVER overload the circuit. If this heater trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit before the next use. Avoid plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this heater.

• NEVER plug this heater into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has any loose wires or connections. Plugging this heater into a faulty outlet could result in electric arcing within the outlet that could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.

• ALWAYS check your heater cord and plug connections with each use!
  a. MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet to overheat.
  b. Heaters draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
  c. During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.

• This heater has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 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.
