SAFETY FEATURES
Tip-Over Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a shut-off safety feature. Once the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset. To continue operation, rotate the power knob on the control panel.
Overheat Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with an overheat safety feature. When the heater’s internal components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheating and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off.
- A thermal overload protector is built in to prevent over-heating. When an “overheat” temperature is reached, the heater will automatically shut off. Operation can resume only when the user resets the unit.
- To reset the unit, unplug the heater, ensure the power is turned off, and wait 15 to 20 minutes for the unit to cool down.
- Follow INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE to return heater to operating mode.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric 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 to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.
