IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following.
“DO NOT COVER” on heater/fan. This means that the airflow through the inlet and exhaust openings must never be obstructed.
■READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surface. Unplug and let heater cool down for at least 5 minutes before moving it. Use handles, if provided.
■To reduce the risk of fire, keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front, sides and rear of the heater.
■Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating. Avoid leaving an operating heater unattended.
■Always unplug from electrical outlet (receptacle) whenever heater is not in use.
■To disconnect heater, turn control to OFF, then remove plug from outlet (receptacle).
REMOVE BY PULLING ON THE PLUG — not the cord.
■Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after a malfunction, or after it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to the nearest authorized service repair center for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
■This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may come in contact with water, such as near a bathtub or sink. If the heater does become wet, unplug it from the wall receptacle before touching it, as a wet heater may create an electrical shock hazard even if the heater is turned off.
■Do not use outdoors.
■To avoid overheating of the cord, do not cover any part of the cord with carpet, throw rugs, runners, newspapers, magazines, furniture, etc. Arrange cord away from trafficked areas, so it will not be tripped over or stepped on.
■Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may cause an electrical shock, fire or damage to the heater.
■To avoid a fire hazard, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surface (such as a bed) where openings may be blocked or heater can
fall over.
■A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or other volatile or flammable liquids are used or stored.
■Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if an extension cord must be used, it shall be of a minimum size of 14 AWG and rated not less than 1500 watts. Use only an extension cord that is UL listed.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
