IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when unit is first operated. Do not be alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil during the manufacturing process. It will quickly evaporate and should not re- occur. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on for the first time. Do not be alarmed.
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
- 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. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and rear of heater to adjacent walls. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
- Extreme caution and reasonable supervision is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids or pets and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
- Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never yank on cord.
- To disconnect the heater, turn controls to “OFF”, then remove the plug from outlet.
- Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
- Do not use outdoors.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
- Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over. Route the cord so that it will not be walked on, or pinched by furniture.
- Connect to properly grounded outlets only. Check heater voltage and amperage on the back of the heater to make sure it agrees with the electric service supplied.
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
- 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.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.
- This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. Be sure to use a dedicated 240VAC, 30A circuit for the heater.
- 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 heater into a worn outlet/ receptacle may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.
- Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Should this occur, do not use the receptacle if deteriorated. CALL your electrician.
- Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during transportation.
- Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
- When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight odor which is normal with new electrical appliances. Allow odor to dissipate by running appliance at full power for about ten minutes. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
- Do not run in locations when the heater will be left unattended for long periods of time. (For example – in an unoccupied summer cottage).
- Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.
- Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). 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.
