When using electrical appliances,
basic precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of re,

electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:

① Read all instructions before using

the Sub-Compact Stove.

② The heater is hot when in use.

To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. The trim around
the heater outlet becomes hot during
heater operation. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from
the front of the unit.

CAUTION: High Temperature.
Keep electrical cords, drapery, and
other furnishings at least 3 feet
(0.9m) from the front of the heater
and away from the side and rear.

③ Extreme caution is necessary

when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the
unit is left operating and unattended.

④ Always unplug the Sub-Compact

Stove when not in use.

⑤ Do not operate any unit with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the heater
has malfunctioned, or if the Sub­Compact Stove has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return
heater to authorized service facility for

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.

⑥ Do not use outdoors.
⑦ The Sub-Compact Stove is

not intended for use in bathrooms,
laundry areas and similar indoor
locations. Never locate heater where
it may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.

⑧ Do not run the cord under

carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or the like.

Arrange cord away from trafc area

and where it will not be tripped over.

⑨ To disconnect the unit, turn the

controls off, then remove the plug
from the outlet.

⑩ Do not insert or allow foreign

objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause

an electric shock or re, or damage to

the heater.

⑪ To prevent a possible re, do

not block air intake or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces,
like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.

⑫ All electrical heaters have hot

and arcing or sparking parts inside.
Do not use in areas where gasoline,

paint, or ammable liquids are used

or stored or where the unit will be

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

exposed to ammable vapors.

⑬ Do not modify the Sub-Compact

Stove. Use it only as described in this
manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer

may cause re, electric shock or

injury to persons.

⑭ To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the

other). This plug will t in a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does

not t fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not t, contact
a qualied electrician to install the

proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Avoid the use of an
extension cord. Extension cords may

overheat and cause a risk of re. If

you must use an extension cord, the
cord must be No. 14 AWG minimum
size and rated no less than 1875
Watts.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

⑮ Do not burn wood or other

materials in the Sub-Compact Stove.

⑯ Do not strike the clear door

panel.

⑰ Always use a certied electrician

should new circuits or outlets be
required.

⑱ Always use properly grounded,

fused and polarized outlets.

⑲ Disconnect all power supply

before performing any cleaning,
maintenance or relocation of the unit.

⑳ When transporting or storing the

unit and cord, keep in a dry place,
free from excessive vibration and
store so as to avoid damage.

Sub-Compact Stove Installation

!

NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt
alternating current (VAC)
circuit is required. A dedicated

essential in all cases. A
dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation,
the circuit breaker trips or
blows fuses on a regular basis
when the heater is operating.
Additional appliances on the
same circuit may exceed the
current rating of the circuit
breaker.

WARNING: Ensure the power

cord is not installed so that
it is pinched or against a
sharp edge and ensure that
the power cord is stored or
secured to avoid tripping or
snagging to reduce the risk of

re, electric shock or injury to

persons.

Construction and electrical

wiring must comply with local
building codes and other
applicable regulations to
