IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, and injury to persons including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
1. Keep the product out of the reach of children and pets. This product is not intended
for use by children. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used near
children or the physically challenged and whenever the heater is left operating and
unattended.
2. Do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces, as heater is hot! To avoid burns, use the
handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from all sides
of the heater.
3. Always unplug the heater when not in use.
4. Do not use this product in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar damp/wet indoor
locations. Do not place the product where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
5. Do not run the power cord under carpeting or cover it with throw rugs, runners, or
similar coverings. Arrange the cord away from trafc areas where it will not be
tripped over.
6. To disconnect the product from an electrical outlet, turn any controls to the Off
position, and then pull directly on the plug to remove it from the outlet; do not pull on
the power cord.
7. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening of
the product as this may cause electric shock or re, or damage the heater.
8. Do not block air intakes or exhaust, as this may cause a risk of re. Do not use the
product on soft surfaces, such as a bed, where openings may become blocked.
9. Do not use this product in an area where gasoline, paint, or ammable liquids are
used or stored, as this product has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside.
10. Do not place the product near a bed because objects, such as pillows or blankets,
can fall off and be ignited by the product.
11. Use this product only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
12. Do not immerse or expose the power cord, plug, or product to water or other liquids.
If the product falls into water, immediately unplug it from the electrical outlet; do not
touch or reach into the water. If water or other liquids reach any internal areas of this
product, permanently discontinue its use.
13. Ensure the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allowed to cool before
relocating or cleaning it.
14. Use the heater in a vertical position only.
15. Do not place the product in or near an open window. Rain, snow, or other weather
elements could cause electrical short-circuiting in the product.
16. Do not use outdoors.
17. To disconnect heater, turn controls to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
18. Do not plug into or unplug the product from the electrical outlet with a wet hand.

19. Do not operate this product if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it malfunctions,
or if it has been dropped or damaged. This product has no user-serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Only qualied
service personnel should perform any servicing; take the product to an appliance
repair shop of your choice for inspection and repair.
20. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (included children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capability, 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.

22. This product is intended solely for indoor, non-commercial, non-industrial use in
temporarily heating rooms. Do not use this product outdoors.
23. Do not operate the product continuously. Portable electric heaters are designed for
nite space heating or as a supplementary heat source. They are not intended to be
main sources of heat during the normal heating season.
24. Do not hang or wall-mount the product.
25. Place the product upright on a at, level, stable, heat-resistant surface.
WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other blade). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will t into a polarized
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/ receptacle. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/ power strip).
