INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CARE
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions before using heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch
hot surface. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep
combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes
and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater and keep
them away from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children
or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater
to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar
moist indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub
or other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will
not be tripped over.
9. This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown below
(Fig. 1). An adapter is available at retail (not included) for connecting
three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter
should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a
circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances
working.
11. It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit
between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or
worn outlet.
12. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the
plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
