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 the engine.
② The 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.
DANGER: High temperatures
may be generated under certain
abnormal conditions. Do not
partially of fully cover 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 engine
when not in use.
⑤ Do not operate any unit with
a damaged cord or plug, or if
the engine has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Contact

fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
⑧ Do not run the cord under

controls off, then remove the plug
from the outlet.
⑩ Always use properly grounded,
fused and polarized outlets.
⑪ Do not insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or re, or damage
to the heater.
⑫ To prevent a possible re, do
not block air intake or exhaust
in any manner. Do not use on
soft surfaces, like a bed, where
openings may become blocked.

Installation
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.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.

of re, do not store or use gaso-
line or other ammable vapors or

circuit is preferred but not
essential in all cases. A dedicated
circuit will be required if, after
installation, the circuit breaker
trips or the 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.
