- To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and electric
shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such
as a dimmer control switch. Do not use this heater with a
timer designed to automatically turn the unit on or off, as this
may accidentally disable the heater's thermal cutout safety
feature.
- Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another
high energy use product, such as a vacuum cleaner, blender,
variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised.
- Risk of fire. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord
or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to
authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Do not sit or stand on product.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or
stretch the power cord.
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire,
or damage the heater.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting
outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be
sure plug fits tight in the outlet. Check frequently during use
to make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue
using heater and have outlet replaced by a qualified
electrician.
- Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such
as: warm outlet coverplates, sparks when plugging in or
operating, lights flickering/dimming during operation.
Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if any such

problems are noticed. Contact a qualified electrician to
investigate possible causes before operating the appliance
again.
- Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not
occurred with the other appliances.
- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when
not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power
and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull
only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will
be left unattended for an extended period of time or during
electrical storms.
- 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.
- If your heater suddenly stops working:
• This heater is equipped with a thermal cutout safety feature
designed to automatically shut off when overheating is
detected. See the "RESET HEATER" instructions in this
guide to determine how to check and reset the heater.
• If the heater and other electrical products suddenly stop
working at the same time, your home circuit breaker
or fuse may have tripped due to an overload of power.
Consider only running your heater on the "low" setting,
only running one heater at once and unplugging all other
electrical products while running the heater, and/or hiring
an electrician to install an additional circuit to your home's
electrical system.
WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the
heater.
