When using electrical appliances,
basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re,
electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
①Read all instructions before using
the Sub-Compact Stove.
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 3 feet (0.9m) from
the front of the unit.
CAUTION: High Temperature.
Keep electrical cords, drapery, and
other furnishings at least 3 feet
(0.9m) from the front of the heater
and away from the side and rear.
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 Sub-Compact
Stove when not in use.
⑤Do not operate any unit with a
damaged cord or plug, or if the heater
has malfunctioned, or if the Sub-
Compact Stove has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return
heater to authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
adjustment, or repair.
⑥Do not use outdoors.
⑦The Sub-Compact Stove is
not intended for use in bathrooms,
laundry areas and similar indoor
locations. Never locate heater where
it may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.
⑧Do not run the cord under
carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from trafc area
and where it will not be tripped over.
⑨To disconnect the unit, turn the
controls off, then remove the plug
from the outlet.
⑩Do 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.
⑪ 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.
⑫All electrical heaters have hot
and arcing or sparking parts inside.
Do not use in areas where gasoline,
paint, or ammable liquids are used
or stored or where the unit will be
exposed to ammable vapors.
⑬Do not modify the Sub-Compact

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Stove. Use it only as described in this
manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer
may cause re, electric shock or
injury to persons.
⑭To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will t in a polarized
outlet only one way. 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. This heater is not
intended for use with an extension
cord. Plug the cord directly into an
appropriate wall receptacle.
⑮Do not burn wood or other
materials in the Sub-Compact Stove.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
⑯Do not strike the clear door
panel.
⑰ Always use a certied electrician
should new circuits or outlets be
required.
⑱Always use properly grounded,
fused and polarized outlets.
⑲Disconnect all power supply
before performing any cleaning,
maintenance or relocation of the unit.
⑳When transporting or storing the
unit and cord, keep in a dry place,
free from excessive vibration and
store so as to avoid damage.

Sub-Compact Stove Installation
!NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt
alternating current (VAC) 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 blows
fuses on a regular basis when
the heater is operating. Addi-
tional 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
wiring must comply with local
building codes and other appli-
cable 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, al-
ways use a licensed electrician.
Installation
① Make sure the unit’s Main On/
Off Switch is switched Off (refer to
operating instruction section).
② Plug the unit into a 15 Amp,
120 VAC outlet.
Quick Reference Guide
1. Prior to the rst use of the

check, follow the instructions
for replacing the light bulbs
under the Maintenance section
of this manual)
2. The heater on your Sub-Com-
pact Stove 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.

questions or concerns regard-
ing the operation of your Sub-
Compact Stove, or require

position for the high heat set-
ting to operate.
Resetting the Temperature

Clear Door Panel Cleaning
The clear door is cleaned in the
factory during the assembly op-
eration. During shipment, installa-
tion, handling, etc., the clear door
may collect dust particles. These
can be removed by dusting lightly
with a clean, dry cloth.
To remove ngerprints or other
marks, the clear doors can be
cleaned with a damp cloth. The
clear door should be completely
dried with a lint free cloth to
prevent water spots. To prevent
scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners or spray liquids on the
clear door surface.
