• Clean the surface of the appliance with a dry cloth. Do not use corrosive
detergent or solvent to clean. Do not submerge the appliance with water.
• Please turn off and unplug the appliance when not in use. Make sure the power
is off before pulling out the plug and do not pull the cord.
• When the appliance is not in use for a prolonged period, please turn it off,
unplug it, pack it well, and store it in a dry, cool place.
• Do not place flammable and explosive objects near or around the appliance,
and do not use the appliance in an environment full of flammable gas. Keep
away from any fire and heat sources.
• Please put the power cord in a place that will not cause individuals to trip over
the appliance.
• Do not put any objects on the appliance and position the appliance immediately
below a socket-outlet.
• Do not touch the front panel when operating.
• Please keep the back and front panels unblocked to minimize the risk of fire or
malfunction.
• Do not let the power cord touch or come near the front panel. It will damage
the insulation layer of the wires.
• Ensure no water leaks into the appliance in order to avoid electric shock. Do not
put flammable objects or wet clothes on the front panel in order to avoid short
circuit or fire.
• Please do not place the either side of the panel near curtains or walls when in
operation because these will block the flow of air and cause a fire. The
appliance should be installed at a minimum distance of 4 inches from the wall
or other obstacles.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
• Please do not insert any objects into the either side of the panel, in order to
avoid electric shock.
• After a period of operation, abnormal noise and uneven air volume may appear
because of dust blocking the airflow. This will disappear after cleaning the back
net.
• Do not use an extension cord to operate the heater.
• Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
• The heater is to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be
touched by a person in the bath or shower.
• Do not cover the appliance with anything, especially flammable materials, such
as clothes or paper.
• In order to prevent hazards due to the inadvertent resetting of the thermal
cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer, programmer, separate remote-control system or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
