a 120V 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.

similar indoor location. 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.

or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire,
or damage the heater.

attachments not recommended or sold by The Holmes Group may
cause hazards.

in any manner. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where
openings may become blocked.

15.To disconnect heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove plug
from outlet.

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

resume operation when the user resets the unit.

2. To install the base tubing, simply take the silver colored end of the
Base Tube and insert into the open ended tube on the bottom of the
heater’s front housing. Lastly, line up the screw hole on the Base Tube
