SAFETY FEATURES

Tip-Over Safety Feature

This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety feature. Once the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will
automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset. To
continue operation, turn on the heater using the supplied remote control or the control panel on the heater.

Overheat Safety Feature

This heater is equipped with a overheat safety feature. When the heaters internal components reach a certain
temperature that could cause overheat and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off. To reset the
heater, unplug the heater power cord from the electrical outlet for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, plug the
heater into the electrical outlet and turn on using the supplied remote control or the control panel on the heater.

WARNING: This heater is for use on 120 volts. The

cord has a plug as shown in A. An adapter as shown in
C is available for connecting three-blade grounding­type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The grounding lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot
grounded receptacle is available.

DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF
THE GROUNDED PLUG.

WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the outlet
and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet.
Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.
