  7. Do not run the cord under carpeting and do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances.
    Arrange the cord away from traffic areas to avoid a tripping hazard.

  8. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from outlet.

  9. 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 to the heater.

  10. Connect to properly grounded outlets only.

  11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust openings in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked. Use the heater on flat, dry surfaces only.

  12. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use the heater in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

  16. Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

  17. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging this heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.

  18. Make sure the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Be mindful that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use.
    Check periodically for signs of overheating or deformations of the plug. If any overheating or deformation occurs, immediately discontinue using the heater and contact Dr. Infrared Heater Authorized Service Center.

  19. CHECK YOUR HEATER CORD AND PLUG CONNECTIONS. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlets or plug to overheat.
    During use, please check frequently to determine if your plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! If it is hot, discontinue using the heater and/or make certain a qualified electrician checks and replaces the faulty outlet(s).

CAUTION: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
