INSTRUCTIONS
17. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or re, or damage the appliance.
18. To prevent a possible re, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where opening may become blocked.
19. This appliance has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline,
paint or ammable liquids are used or stored. This replace should not be used as a drying rack for
clothing. Do not hang Christmas stockings or other decorations on or near this product.
20. Use this appliance only as described in the manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause re, electric shock or injury to persons.
21. There is a thermostat limiter inside the heater. When inner temperature overheating or abnormal
heating occurs, the thermostat protective device will cutoff the power supply to avoid damage to the
replace or risk of re.
22. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause risk of re.
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord must be No.14 AWG minimum size and rated
not less than 1,875 watts. The extension cord must be a three-wire cord with grounding type plug and
cord connection. The extension cord shall not be more than 20 ft. in length.
23. See directions in Figure 1. This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown in
gure 1. See Figure 1 for grounding instruction. An adaptor as shown at C is available for
connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding plug
extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanet ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is
available.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15-Amp,120-volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the replace will
be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or
the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation. The unit comes standard with 6-ft. three-wire cord,
exiting from the rear of the replace. Avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be a minimum 14 AWG, three-wire cord with grounding-type plug connector and rated not less
than, 1,875 watts. The cord shall not be more than 20 ft. in length.
Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this unit against a non-
insulated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.

stroke in direction of wood grain. Rub excess colorant promptly with a soft cloth.
• The motors used on the fan and the ame generator assembly are pre-lubricated for extended
bearing life and require no further lubrication. However, we recommend periodic cleaning/vacuuming
of the fan/heater.
• Make sure the unit is turned OFF and unplugged whenever you are cleaning the heater or replace.
