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.

and unattended.

7. Always unplug the heater when not in use.

8. When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
