shock, and/or injury to persons. Read all instructions carefully
before using the appliance. Specically:
Danger!
Failure to observe the warning may result in life
threatening injury by electric shock.
- Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, after faulty operation, or when it
has been dropped or damaged in any way. Con-
tact the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjust-
ment, or repair.

- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into
the air intake or air outlet grille, as this may
cause electric shock or re, or damage the appli-
ance.
- Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the
outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time,
so check the plug periodically for signs of over-
heating or deformation. If the outlet has dete-
riorated, stop using it and have it repaired.
Important!
Failure to observe the warning could result in injury
or damage to the appliance.

that they do not play with the appliance.
- Always disconnect the plug from the power out-
let when the appliance is not in use.
- Do not use the appliance outdoors.
- Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do
not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the
like. Keep the cord away from any passageways
where it could be tripped over.

or air outlet grille in any way. Do not use the ap-
pliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the
openings may become blocked.

ual. Any other use not indicated by the manu-
facturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
- To prevent current overload and blown fuses,
make sure that no other appliance is plugged
into the same outlet or into another outlet wired
into the same circuit.
- If the supply cord is damaged, to reduce the
risk of malfunction it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed
and qualied professional.
- Do not use this appliance with an extension cord
or outlet strip. Connect the appliance directly to
a suitable outlet.

Danger of burns!!
Failure to observe the warning could result in burns
or scalds.
- This appliance gets very hot when in use. To
prevent burns, do not touch hot surfaces with
bare skin. Use the handle when moving the ap-
pliance. Keep all ammable materials, such as
furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and
curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front
and top of the appliance also avoid contact with
the sides and back.
- Do not wrap the cord around the appliance im-
mediately after use.
- Do not cover the appliance while it is function-
ing in order to avoid overheating and the risk of
re.
- The internal parts of the appliance can become
very hot or produce sparks during operation. Do
not use the appliance in areas where gasoline,
paints, or other ammable liquids are used or
stored.
- It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel
warm to the touch. However, an excessively
hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and
may be the result of a defective electrical outlet.
Defective outlets must be replaced before using
the heater. Plugging the heater into a worn out-
let may result in overheating of the power cord
or may cause the risk of re.
- Do not use the appliance to dry laundry, and
do not obstruct the air intake and outlet grilles
(danger of overheating).
- Do not operate the appliance in contact with
walls, furniture, curtains, etc.

cord have been damaged during shipping.
- Make sure that no styrofoam or other packing
materials remain in the appliance.
- The rst time the appliance is used, run it at the
maximum power for at least two hours. Dur-
ing this time, ventilate the room thoroughly to
eliminate the“new”smell released by the appli-
ance. It is completely normal for the appliance
to emit“creaking”sounds the rst time it is run.

parts inside.
- Before storing the appliance, check it is com-
pletely o and the cable is unplugged. At this

ances, overheating of the outlet may occur even
if it has not occured with the use of other appli-
ances.
