Read and save all instructions before using the heater.
WARNING
This Model 9206 Electric Space Heater is designed and approved for home use only.
- This heater, like all resistance wire fan-forced convection heaters, has hot and arcing elements which can cause combustible materials and/or flammable vapors to ignite. This heater must only be used indoors in a clean and dry area free of loose combustible materials and explosive vapors. Do not use this heater outdoors, in barns, in barnyards, where explosive liquids or vapors are present, close to oily/ flammable rags, in wood workshops, or in any other area where combustible materials or flammable vapors could possibly enter the heater. Use of the heater where these are present could result in a fire causing property damage, injury, or death.
- This heater, like all cord-connected indoor use heaters, has internal electrical live components that should not get damp. Do not use this heater in wet or damp areas.
Do not use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and similar locations. Do not use it in greenhouses. Do not use this heater in any manner where the heater could come into contact with liquids. Use of this heater in wet or damp locations could result in electrical shock causing injury or death.
Safety Feature
This model has two-stage overheat protection: a manual reset thermostat and a
one-time thermal fuse. If the flow of air becomes blocked, the heater will
automatically turn off
when the internal temperature reaches ~55°C. The unit will remain off.
To reset: Unplug the heater, ensure all intakes are free of obstructions, and
let the unit cool for 10 minutes before restarting.
Care and Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts in this heater. Do not attempt to service
this unit.
Your heater has been designed for many years of problem-free operation. The
motor is
permanently lubricated and does not require oiling. However, since this model
moves a high volume of air, it does require periodic cleaning. Unplug the
heater and using a vacuum, clean the air intakes on the top and bottom of the
unit as well as the front grill.
Caution! Keep out of the reach of children.
