SAFETY AND WARNINGS
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ASSEMBLE,
INSTALL, OPERATE OR MAINTAIN THE PRODUCT DESCRIBED.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL
SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE.
NOTE: When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to
run at full power for approximately two hours to get rid of the
unpleasant odour. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is
located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the
appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on the first
time. Do not be alarmed.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons or property, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes and curtains at least 3' (0.9 m) from the front and top of the
heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Keep the rear
grille away from walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
3. Extreme caution and supervision is necessary when any heater is
used by or near children or pets, and whenever the heater is left
operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the
heater malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Discard heater or return to an authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater 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 cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture
or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will
not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the heater, turn control to 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 intakes or exhaust in
any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings
may become blocked.
12. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it
in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or
stored.
13. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use
not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric
shock, injury to persons, or other damage to property.
14. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the
potential of tipping it over.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other
appliance is plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into another
outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the
touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes
distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn
outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the
heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in
overheating of the power cord or fire.
17. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never
use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power
strip).
18. Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting
outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure plug fits
tight in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and
outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet
replaced by a qualified electrician.
19. Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with
the other appliances.
20. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been
damaged in any way during transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging
material have been left between elements of the appliance. It may be
necessary to clean the appliance.
22. Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
23. This appliance has a grounded three-prong plug and is suitable
for grounded receptacle use only. An adapter is available for
connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles.
The adapter must be properly grounded. Do not attempt to defeat
the purpose of this safety feature.
CAUTION：RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
DANGER-HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY BE GENERATED
UNDER CERTAIN ABNORMAL CONDITION. DO NOT
PARTIALLY OR FULLY COVER OR OBSTRUCT THE
FRONT OF THIS HEATER.
