3
Do not block the
heater
To avoid a re, never place any object within one (1) meter (3.28 feet) from (the
front of) the radiation disk.
Do not try to ignite
the heater more than
3 times in a row
If the heater does not ignite the rst time, do not try to ignite more than two more times
in a row thereafter because a re may result. If the heater does not ignite after the third
attempt, stop trying and consult your dealer prior to further operation of the heater.
1
Keep flammable ma-
terials away from the
heater
To avoid a re, please keep all ammables more than 2.5m (8.2ft.) away from
the front of the radiation disk, and more than 2m (6.56ft.) away from all sides
(left/right and top/rear) of the heater.
5
Placing the heater on
combustible matter or
ooring is prohibited
The heater is for use on non combustible matter or ooring only unless the
shielding mat, part #503002-05001 is used.

plugging. Doing so may cause trouble in the heater.
11 Turn off while refuel-
ing
Never rell the fuel tank when the heater is on or it is still hot. Refueling while the
heater is still operating or hot may cause a “ash back” of ames to the fuel container
or other hazard, causing serious injury and/or property damage. For the same reason,
refueling should only be done outdoors and away from any open ame. In addition,
spilling fuel on a carpet while refueling or otherwise creates an additional re hazard.
4Do not leave the heater unattended while it is in operation or cooling down so
that unexpected problems, such as re, can be dealt with immediately.

power plug by pulling
on the power cord
Do not damage the
power cord
When disconnecting the power cord, always pull out the plug, never the cord,
to unplug the cord. To pull out the cord may damage the cord itself and result
in re through electrical shock or short circuit.
Do not place excessive force on the cord by bending, pulling, twisting, pinch-
ing or remodeling. Also, do not place any heavy objects on the heater, etc. that
may damage it, to avoid a re and electric shock.
Prior to operation, conrm that the heater is properly connected to a grounded
power cord and outlet. Attempting to use or operating the heater without prop-
er grounding may result in dangerous electrical shock.
