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

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.

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.
