precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CARE

Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.

3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and
unattended.

4. Always unplug the heater when not in use.

a bathtub or other water container.

8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will
not be tripped over.

9. CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit
only one way in a polarized outlet. 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. To do so
could result in an electric shock hazard.

10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading
a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other
appliances working.

11. CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however,
a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to
replace loose or worn outlet.

12. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the OFF position, then
grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

13. 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.

14. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surface, such as a bed, where openings
may become blocked.

15. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.

16. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

17. CAUTION: Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension
cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use
an extension cord, the cord shall be No.14 AWG minimum size and
rated not less than 1875 watts.

18. The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become
intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not
recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an
inability to react to avoid burns.

19. Do not remove grille guard or allow heater to be operated without
grille guard in place.
