INPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following
instructions must be followed.
•Use this appliance only as described in this owner’s manual. As with any
electrical appliance, the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as
possible. Caution and common sense should be used when operating this
heater.
•This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9m) from the front and top of the
heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Keep the rear grille away
from walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
•Extreme caution and reasonable supervision are necessary when any heater
is used by or near children, invalids or pets and whenever the heater is left
operating and unattended.
•Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip plug and pull from
wall outlet. Never yank on cord.
•Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater
to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment or repair.
•Do not use outdoors. This product is intended for normal household use only
•This heater 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.
•Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or
the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over.
Route the cord so that it will not be walked on, or pinched by furniture.
•To disconnect the heater, turn controls to “OFF”, then remove the plug from
outlet.
•Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
•Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to 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 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
PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF OUTLET, AND FULLY INSERT.
•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

8
been left between one element of the appliance and another. It may be
necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
•When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight
odor which is normal with new electrical appliances. Allow odor to dissipate by
running appliance at full power for about ten minutes. Make sure that the room
in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation.
•This heater draws 8.4 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit,
do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
•Do not run in locations when the heater will be left unattended for long periods
of time. (For example – in an unoccupied summer cottage).
