any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings
may become blocked.

areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
13. Use heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock,
injury to persons, or other damage to property.

keep at least 8" of unobstructed space to the bottom air inlet of the
heater to allow for ventilation to avoid a risk of danger.
.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other
appliance is plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired
into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater’s plug to feel warm to the touch. A plug
which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be
a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should
be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a
worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating or fire.

17. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure plug fits tight in the outlet.
Check frequently during use to make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If
so, discontinue using heater and have the outlet replaced by a qualified
electrician.
19. Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with
the other appliances.

to avoid a risk of danger. Plug only into a wall socket outlet.
21. Make sure no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material
have been left between elements of the appliance. It may be necessary
to clean the appliance.
