IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE RETAIN THIS USER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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 Sub-Compact Stove.
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. 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
3FT (0.9m) from the front of the heater and away from the side and rear.
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 Sub-Compact Stove when not in use.
5. Do 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 adjustment, or repair.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. The 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.
8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.
10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
12. All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to
flammable vapors.
13. Do not modify the Sub-Compact Stove. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords may overheat
and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must be No. 16 AWG minimum
size and rated no less than 1875 watts.
15. Do not burn wood or other materials in the Sub-Compact Stove.
16. Do not strike the clear door panel.
17. Always use a certified electrician should new circuits or outlets be required.
18. Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.
19. Disconnect all power supply before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation of the unit.
20. When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free from excessive vibration
and store so as to avoid damage.

NOTE
A15 Amp, 120 Volt alternating current (VAC) circuit is required. Adedicated circuit is preferred but not
essential in all cases. Adedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or
blows fuses 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 fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.
Construction and electrical wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.
Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons, always use a licensed electrician.

clean, dry cloth.
To remove fingerprints 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.
