followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
①Read all instructions before using
the electric fireplace.
②This fireplace is hot when in use.
To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. The trim around
the heater outlet becomes hot during
heater operation. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 0.9 m (3 feet) from
the front of the unit.
③Extreme caution is necessary
when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the
unit is left operating and unattended.
④This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appli-
ance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
⑤Warning this heater is not
equipped with a device to control the
room temperature. Do not use this
heater in small rooms when they are
occupied by persons not capable of
