DANGER
Risk From Electrical Connections. Please pay attention to any instructions given to
avoid personal injury or property damage.
- A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion
of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact qualified electrician to
replace loose or worn outlet.
- Do Not use this heater on a circuit that is shared with another high-power device, such as a
vacuum or circular saw.
- Do Not use this heater on a circuit that has a variable-speed device operating, such as a
blender or variable-speed fan.
- Do Not use this heater on a surge-protected circuit.
- Do Not use this heater with any kind of timer designed to turn the unit on or off.
- Do Not use the heater on any Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet. A GFCI outlet
has a reset button in the middle of the outlet.
- Do Not use this heater in an RV, boat or any application where a DC/AC inverter is
converting battery power to AC power.
- Do Not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this
may cause an electric shock or fire or damage the heater.
- Always plug heaters directly into wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord
or re-locatable power tab (outlet/power).
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system, designed to turn off the
heater when an internal overheating condition is detected. See "RESET HEATER" to
determine how to check and reset the heater.
- In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of thermal cutout, this appliance
must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected
to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
- Always unplug when not in use or when leaving the dwelling or premises for extended
periods of time.
- Do Not place the heater directly below a socket outlet.
- To disconnect heater, turn controls off, then remove plug from outlet.
- The VMH10, like any other 750-watt electric heater, draws up to 6.25 amps of electric
6 English
current. If using your VMH10 on the High Heat mode setting causes your home circuit
breaker or fuse to trip, we offer the following suggestions:
- Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same electrical circuit as
your VMH10.
- Run the VMH10 on Low Heat mode.
- Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home's electrical system.
- ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
- Do Not use more than one heater at a time on the same circuit.
- Never ignore or take lightly the signs of an electrical problem, such as:
- Warm outlet cover plates
- Sparking at outlet when plugging in or during operation
- Light flickering or dimming (indicates a shared circuit or problem)
- Investigate the cause of these before continuing to use the heater.
- This product must be grounded. If the product malfunctions, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
3-prong plug must be inserted into a grounded outlet that has been properly installed in
accordance with all electric codes and ordinances. If you are in doubt as to whether or not
an outlet is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician.
- This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at A in Figure 65.1. An
adapter as shown at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-
slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not
be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
