SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in

any way.

NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the

product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection

procedures.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use with an extension cord.

OVERHEAT SAFETY FEATURE

This heater is equipped with a overheat safety feature. When the heater’s internal
components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheating and
possible fire, the heater will automatically shut o. If this should occur, please

contact our Customer Satisfaction Center at 844-299-0879.

WARNING

It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a

loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of

the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a dierent outlet.

Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for

damage.
