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 VMH600, like any other 1500-watt electric heater, draws up
to 12.5 amps of electric current. If using your VMH600 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 VMH600.
- Run the VMH600 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.
