front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or
invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug appliance when not in use.

appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or
mechanical adjustment, or repair.

tions. Never locate appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

ners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will
not be tripped over.
