QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ELECTRIC STOVE  
1. Prior to the first use of the Stove verify the following:  
Are the circuit breakers for the unit on?

instructions for replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance  
section of this manual)  
2. The heater on your Stove may emit a slight, harmless odor when first  
used. This odor is a normal condition caused by the initial heating of  
internal heater parts and will not occur again.

the rating plate located on the back of the unit.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS  
PLEASE RETAIN THIS USER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the Stove.  
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  
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least  
3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the unit.  
CAUTION: High Temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery, and other furnishings at  
least 3FT (.9m) from the front of the heater and away from the side 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. Always unplug the Stove when not in use.  
5. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if  
the Stove has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to authorized service  
facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE  
6. Do not use outdoors.  
7. The Stove is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations.  
Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.  
8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.  
Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.  
9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.  
10. 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 to the heater.  
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft  
surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.  
12. All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where  
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to  
flammable vapors.  
13. Do not modify the Stove. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not  
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.  
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than  
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper  
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords  
may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must be No.
