SAFETY WARNINGS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this heater.
Avoid obstructing airflow openings: Clean dust from grille and side openings periodically. If blocked in any manner, the overheat protector will automatically shut the heater off.
Do not operate heater when no one is present.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical 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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner.
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.

To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation, 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.
15. 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.
