let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles
when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials,
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.

6. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used
by, or near, children or disabled persons, and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.

7. 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.
