⚠ WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal injury and property damage please note the following:

• Your heater is for INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT use your heater outdoors, or for industrial or commercial purposes.
• DO NOT depend on the Power Control Switch as the sole means of disconnecting power from your heater.
• Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet when your heater is not in use, when changing locations, or prior to cleaning.
• Place your heater on a stable, level surface, and keep the power cord away from high traffic areas.
• Connect the power cord to an easily-accessible electrical outlet so that your heater can be disconnected immediately in the event of an emergency.
• Ensure that twelve inches of clearance exists around your heater to avoid obstructing intake and exhaust flow.
• For optimal operation and to avoid overloading a circuit, connect your heater to circuit that is not supplying power to other electrical appliances.
• DO NOT operate your heater near curtains, plants, window covers, or other loose objects; such objects can become lodged in your heater's moving components and cause a fire.
• NEVER cover your heater or place your heater or its power cord under rugs, carpeting or similar objects, as fire can occur.
• Your heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas or similar damp locations. Never place your heater where it may come in contact with water or other liquids.
• DO NOT use devices that would turn your heater on and off automatically, as the use of such devices can cause a fire.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. NEVER insert your fingers or other objects through the heater's grill.
• DO NOT immerse or expose your heater to any form of liquid.
• NEVER operate your heater near an open flame or in the presence of explosive or combustible gases or fumes, such as: gasoline, paint or other flammable liquids. Your heater has hot internal components, and components that can spark during normal operation.
• NEVER operate your heater near an open flame or in the presence of explosive or combustible gases or fumes, such as: gasoline, paint or other flammable liquids. Your heater has hot internal components, and components that can spark during normal operation.
• DO NOT expose your heater to excessive heat or humidity, as electrical component damage can occur.
• DO NOT pull on the power cord. Always grasp the plug when connecting and

disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet.

• DO NOT use extension cords with your heater. Extension cords can overheat and cause fire.
• DO NOT remove, replace, repair or tamper with the originally-supplied plug.
• NEVER attempt to open or service your heater. Doing so may cause personal injury or property damage. Should your heater or its power cord malfunction or become damaged, discontinue operation immediately.
• This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 6.
• Extreme caution is necessary when your heater is used near children, pets and disabled persons. Keep your heater out of the reach of children, pets and disabled persons to reduce the risk of personal injury and electrical shock.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The

plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

HEAT SAFETY FEATURES

Safety grill: The heater is equipped with a safety grill at the front to protect the heating elements.

This part of the heater can get extremely hot. Do not block this grill as it could cause fire.

Tip-over switch: The heater will automatically shut off by a built-in safety switch when it is tipped over. If this occurs, turn the heater OFF, unplug it, put the heater back to upright position and plug it back in.

Overheat Protection: The heater is equipped with a safety shut-off device.

If the heater grill is obstructed, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the device will automatically shut the heater off.

Resetting Heater: To reset the heater, simply turn power off and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until it cools down, then you may plug in and operate normally.

TIP – If you are thinking of leaving your space heater plugged in might not be the best idea. Not only for safety reasons, but it can turn out to be a waste of energy and money in the long run.

TROUBLESHOOTING: Review this manual to ensure that you understand the basic operations and features of your heater.

1. Check your household circuit breaker or fuse.

2. Check for obstructions at the intake and exhaust vents.

- If obstructions are present, refer to the instructions for resetting your heater when the Overheat Protection System has been activated.

- If no obstructions are present, and your heater still does not operate normally, turn the Power Control Switch to the '0' position, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and consult the Warranty Department, if purchased less than 1 year. If not under warranty, nor have proof of purchase, please contact an authorized repair technician.
