IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should al-
ways be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the heater.
2. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let
bare skin touch hot surfaces. The trim around the heater
outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep com-
bustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, pa-
pers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the
front of the unit and keep them away from the sides and
rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by
or near children or invalids and whenever the unit is left
operating and unattended.
4. Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Discon-
nect power at the service panel and have the heater in-
spected by a reputable electrician before reusing.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, and then
switch off at main power supply panel.
7. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any venti-
lation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric
shock or fire, or damage to the heater.
8. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or ex-
haust in any manner.
9. All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flam-
mable liquids are used or stored.
10. Do not modify this heater. Use it only as described in this
