GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1.Read all instructions before using Heater.
2.Use this Heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
3.Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Heater.
4.Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left operating unattended.
5.The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances should the ground prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded threeprong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be done by a qualified electrician, using copper wires only.
DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG ADAPTER. IMPROPER CONNECTION MAY CAUSE THIS RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH ADAPTERS IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
6.Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If they must be used, minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL listed, a minimum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 watts. Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one Heater.
7.Do not operate any 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.
8.Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the Heater. Always unplug

WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
9.Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while it is in operation.
10.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any man-
ner. Do not place on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
11.Always place the Heater on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid the chance of the Heater overturning. Locate the Power Cord so the Heater or other objects are not resting on it. Do not run Power Cord under carpeting. Do not cover Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange Power Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be tripped over.
