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.
■
To prevent electrical overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliances are
plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired
into the same circuit.
■
Do not place any objects in front of heater.
■
Do not place the heater near a bed, because objects such as pillows or blankets can
fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
■
Do not use this heater as an integral part of any life support or equipment protection
system, where a functional failure or misapplication of the heater could jeopardize the
people or things being protected.
■
Avoid using heater/fan while sleeping.
■
Use heater only as described in this manual. Any other use is not recommended by
the manufacturer and may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
■
This heater includes a visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot. If the alarm light begins to glow, immediately turn the heater off and
inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high
temperatures. Do not operate the heater with the alarm light glowing.
■
Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
