appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons
including the following:
• There is a thermostat limiter inside the heater. When the
inner temperature over heating or occurs abnormal heating,
the thermostat protective device would cut off power supply
to avoid the heater damaged or risk of fire.
• 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 the heater.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust
in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where
opening may become blocked.
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not
use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are
used or stored.
• Use this heater only as described in the manual. Any other
use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
• Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.
• Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap
(outlet/ power strip).
• This heater is for use on 120 volts.
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the heater will be on a dedicated
circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in
operation. The unit comes standard with 6 feet (1.8 m) three wire cord, exiting from the rear of the heater.
NOTE: CIRCUIT BREAKER: When running the heater at full power, if the circuit breaker trips, this means that there are too many
electrical devices on that circuit. Remove electrical devices from that circuit until the circuit breaker no longer trips.
NOTE: HOT HEATER PLUG OR CORD: First, it is normal for outlets and cords to be slightly warm. However, if you discover that
your heater plug or power cord are extremely hot, immediately power off and unplug the heater. In 90% of cases this is
because the outlet wiring within the wall is old or is not well connected. Please try a different outlet. If you live in an older
home the wiring to all outlets may be old and will cause overheating in appliances that draw 1500 watts. In this case it is
recommended that you plug your heater in at another home to test the heater’s plug and cord. If the plug or cord get extremely
hot, immediately unplug and call our toll free line - (877) 891-7333.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the current rating of the current tap. Always plug heaters directly into a wall
outlet/ receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/ power strip).
