ticularly the glass window. Use the barrier screen

severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.

vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance
