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.

IMPORTANT!

Your heater is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. DO
NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
