PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND
INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full
power for about two hours to get rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure
that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during
this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds
when you turn it on for the first time.
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. Use the handle (if provided) when moving the unit. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least
3ft. (0.9 meters) 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.
3. Extreme and supervision are necessary when any heater is used near children or
pets and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug, after the heater
malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the heater
to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in any area where there is standing water.
Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or
similar items. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord
away from high traffic areas where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from the
outlet.
10. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening
as this may cause electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
12. To prevent 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.
13. A heater has hot, arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where
gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

14. 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.
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 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 may result in
overheating of the power cord or fire.
17. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of tipping
it over.
18. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate outlet. Please remember
that outlets also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically
for signs of overheating or deformation of the plug. Do not use the outlet and call
your electrician.
19. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any
way during transportation.
20. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left
between elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner.
21. Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
CAUTION:This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
