Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
•A heater has hot or arcing or sparking pads inside. Do not use it areas where
gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
•Use this 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.
•To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is
plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle)
wired into the same circuit.
•This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug: one blade is wider than the
other. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
at first fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF

•It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or
cord 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 of the power cord or fire.
•Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of
tipping it over.
•We do not recommend use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause
a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should
be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to
be used only for suppling power to this heater. The cord should be as short as
possible (long cords coiled up can overheat, as well as cause tripping
accidents) and not used to supply power with more than one appliance at a
time.
•Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please
remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use:
check periodically for signs of overheating or deformations evidenced by the
plug. Should this occur, do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.
•Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in
any way during transportation.
•Make sure that on pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have
