be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:

a 120 V AC electrical outlet.

skin 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.
4) DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord with throw
rugs, runners , or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area
and where it will not be tripped over.

and similar indoor locations. NEVER locate heater where it may
fall into a bathtub or other water container.

or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left
operating 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.
9) 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.

heater malfunctions, has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.

in any manner. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where

overheat temperature is reached, the system will
automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume
operation when the user resets the unit.

When the unit is accidentally knocked over, it will instantly shut
off. To reset, simply place the heater in an upright position.

to HI.
2.Unplug the heater and wait 10 minutes for the unit
to cool down.
3.After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and
operate normally.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
