outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact
a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.

burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced
sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.

polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the

insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should
