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:
①Read all instructions before
using the electric replace.
②The 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.
Keep combustible materials, such
as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes, and curtains at
least three (3) feet
(0.9 m) 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.
④Always unplug the electric
replace when not in use.
⑤Do not operate any unit with
a damaged cord or plug, or if
the heater has malfunctioned,
or if the electric replace has
been dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return heater

⑩Do not insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock or re, or

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment
generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving•
antenna.
Increase the separation between the•
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet•
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced•
radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any

radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful
communication.

Site Selection and Preparation
Quick Reference Guide
① Prior to the rst use of the
replace verify the following:
• Are the circuit breakers for the
unit on?
• Are the light bulbs in your
replace loose? (To check, follow
the instructions for replacing the
light bulbs under the Maintenance
section of this manual.)
② The heater on your replace
may emit a slight, harmless odor
when rst used. This odor is a
normal condition caused by the
initial heating of internal heater
parts and will not occur again.
③The information regarding the
model of your replace can be
found on the rating plate located
on the front of the unit.
!NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120
Volt circuit is required. A
dedicated circuit is preferred
but not essential in all cases. A
dedicated circuit will be required
if, after installation, the circuit
breaker trips or fuse blows on a
regular basis when the heater is
operating. Additional appliances
on the same circuit may exceed
the current rating of the circuit
breaker.
WARNING: Ensure the power
cord is not installed so that it is
pinched or against a sharp edge
and ensure that the power cord is
stored or secured to avoid tripping
or snagging to reduce the risk
of re, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply with
local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce
the risk of re, electric shock and
injury to persons.
Do not attempt to wire your own
new outlets or circuits. To reduce
the risk of re, electric shock or
injury to persons, always use a
licensed electrician.
