WARNING: 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 heater when the heater is plugged in.
❑ Do not place heater near a bed, because objects such as pillows or
blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by heater.
❑ Always unplug from electrical outlet whenever heater is not in use.
❑ Avoid the use of an extension cord because it 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 1875 watts.
When using any electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons
including the following:
❑ Read all instructions before using heater.
❑ 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 ten (10)
minutes before moving it. Use handles provided.
❑ Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids, and whenever heater is left operating and
unattended.
❑ Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after it
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to
the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or call appropriate toll-free
number listed on the cover of this manual.
❑ Do not use outdoors.
❑ This heater is not intended for use in wet or moist locations such as
bathrooms, laundry areas or similar indoor locations. Never locate
heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
❑ Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners, or similar coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic areas, and
where it will not be tripped over.
❑ To disconnect heater, press OFF button, then remove plug from outlet by
pulling the plug, not the cord.
❑ Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening, as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage heater.

Special features and the Advanced Safety Technology™ (AST) system
1. This unit has a safety auto off, plus a safety thermal fuse and CAUTION light.
If unit experiences excessive heat, the safety auto off will shut off unit, and the
CAUTION light will go on. If this happens, turn control knob to OFF
immediately. Be sure front grille is not blocked and nothing is restricting
airflow. Unplug unit, let it cool down, and wait 10-15 minutes. To reset, plug
unit back in and turn thermostat control to HOT. You can then readjust
temperature or room settings. If unit fails to operate after 15 minutes, it may
mean heater has internal damage and thermal fuse has been tripped so heater
can no longer operate.
2. A built-in tip-over switch will cut power if the unit is accidentally knocked over
forward or backward. To reset, simply place heater in upright position on a
level surface. If it falls forward, the roll-over bars on the front of unit will help
prevent heater from burning surfaces.
3.Even though unit has a cool-touch housing, the front grille
will get hot. Be careful not to touch it during operation.
Heat sensor patch on the front: This patch changes color
when front grille becomes hot to the-touch (C). Do not
touch front of heater when this happens.
