Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings when using. And do not route cords under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over.
CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, the plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet.

To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.
This heater draws 12.5 amps in operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.

To disconnect the heater, first, turn off the heater. Never pull the cord directly.
Do not insert foreign objects into any ventilation or exhaust openings to avoid an electric shock, fire, or any unexpected damage.
CAUTION: Plug the heater directly into a wall outlet, do not plug the cord with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

Use this heater only as described ways in this manual. Any other use is not recommended to avoid fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Even if the output of this heater may vary, its temperature still may be intense enough to burn exposed skin. It is not recommended for a person with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
