IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when the unit is first operated. Don’t 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.

PET OWNER’S WARNING:
The health of some small pets including birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes produced during the first-time use of many appliances. These fumes are
not harmful to humans but we recommend that you do not use your heater around
birds and other small pets during its initial use until the anti-corrosion
coatings burn off.
