IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■Read all instructions before using this heater.
■This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
■Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
■Always unplug heater when not in use.
■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.
■Do not use outdoors.
■This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor high humidity locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into bathtub or other water container.
■Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
■To disconnect heater, first turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
■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.
■To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
■A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, flammable liquids or gases are used or stored.
■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.
■Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you must use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
■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.
■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 outlets.
■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.
■Never unplug your portable room heater by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
■Turn the portable heater off, allow it to cool completely and then unplug it before cleaning.
■GE does not support any servicing of the portable room heater. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt
to service the heater yourself.
