4 English
-Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fiire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
-Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation. Always unplug heater when not in use. Vornado does not recommend unattended and unsupervised use of this heater.
-This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare
skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater.
-Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet. Note: GFCI outlets are typically found in bathrooms and kitchens and feature a “reset” button to prevent tripping of an electrical circuit.
-Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that
all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is
compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and electric shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a dimmer control switch. Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another high energy use product, such as a vacuum cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised. Do not use this heater with a timer designed to automatically turn the unit on or off, as this may accidentally disable the heater’s thermal cutout safety feature.
- Risk of fiire. Do not operate if it has been dropped or if damage is apparent to any part of the unit including the cord and plug. Only original replacement parts may be used.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the power cord.
-While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fiire, or damage the heater.
-Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fiitting outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fiire. Be sure plug fiits tight in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet replaced by a qualifiied electrician.
-Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such as: warm outlet coverplates, sparks when plugging in or operating, lights fickering/dimming during operation. Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if any such problems are noticed. Contact a qualified electrician to investigate possible causes before operating the appliance again.
-Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the other appliances.
-This heater is for use with 120 volt electrical outlets. The cord has
a plug as shown at A in Figure 65.1, below. An adapter as shown at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green 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.
