install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the
room and away from hot surfaces.
• Clothing or other  ammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traf c and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot
surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.
• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children
from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the  oor.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
• It is imperative that the control compartments, circulating blower and its passageway in the appliance
and are kept clean. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a quali ed
service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other  ammable vapors and liquids.
