General Safety Information
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using heater.
2. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock,
or injury to persons.
3. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical
requirements of the heater.
4. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating
unattended.
5. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug of heater does not fit
fully in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
6. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If they must be
used, minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL
listed, a minimum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 watts. Never
use a single extension cord to operate more than one heater.
7. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the
heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical
or mechanical adjustment or repair.
8. Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the heater. Always
unplug heater when not in use.
WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS THE
SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR
MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
