any ventilation or exhaust opening as this
may cause an electric shock, re, or damage
the heater.
- CAUTION: to prevent electric shock
match wide blade of plug to wide slot,
then fully insert.
- CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to
inadvertent resetting of thermal cutout, this
appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regulary
switched on and o by the utility.
- This heater may include an visual alarm to
warn that parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot. If the alarm ashes, imme-
diately turn the heater o and inspect for any
objects on or adjacent to the heater that may
cause high temperatures. DO NOT OPERATE
THE HEATER WITH THE ALARM FLASHING.
Important!
Failure to observe the warning could result in injury or
damage to the appliance.
- The appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruc-
tion concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heat-
er is used by or near children and whenever

manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause re, electric
shock, or injury to persons.

below a socket-outlet.
- To prevent overload and blown fuses, be
sure that no other appliance is plugged into
the same outlet (receptacle) or into another
outlet (receptacle) wired into the same cir-
cuit.
- Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an
appropriate outlet. Please remember that
outlets also deteriorate due to aging and
continuous use: check periodically if signs of
overheating or deformations are evi-denced
by the plug. Do not use the outlet and CALL
your electrician.
