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

tures may be generated under
certain abnormal conditions.
Do not partially or fully cover
or obstruct the front of this

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

has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return heater

If the plug does not t fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Always plug

receptacle. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable
power tap (outlet/power strip).

materials in the replace.
⑯ Do not strike the front glass.

fused and polarized outlets.
⑲ Disconnect all power supply
before performing any cleaning,
maintenance or relocation of the
heater.
⑳ When transporting or storing
the heater and cord, keep in a
dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid
damage.
WARNING: Remote control

Keep away from children. If
swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately.
WARNING: Do not install
battery backwards, charge, put
in re or mix with used or other
