When using electrical appliances,
basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
① Read all instructions before
using this heater.
② This heater 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.
WARNING: High temperatures
may be generated under
certain abnormal conditions.
Do not partially or fully cover
or obstruct the front of this
heater.
③ Extreme caution is necessary
when any heater is used by or
near children or invalids and
whenever the unit is left operating
and unattended.
④ Always unplug the heater
when not in use.
⑤ Do not operate any heater
with a damaged cord or plug, or if
the heater has malfunctioned, or if
it has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Contact technical
service at 1-888-346-7539.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
⑥ Do not use outdoors.
⑦ This heater is not intended for
use in bathrooms, laundry areas
and similar indoor locations.
Never locate this heater where
it may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.

objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock or re, or
