PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odour when unit is first operated. Do not be
alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil during the
manufacturing process. It will quickly evaporate and should not re-occur.
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 for the first time. Do not be alarmed.
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR
PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during
transportation.
3. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between
elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
4. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that
receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of
overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your
electrician.
5. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
6. We do not recommend use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should be No. 14 AWG minimum size and
rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying power to this heater.
7. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of tipping it over.
8. Extreme caution and supervision is necessary when any heater is used near children or pets. Do
not operate the heater if unattended.
9. Always unplug heater when not in use.
10. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Arrange
cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over.
11. 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.
12. To prevent 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.
13. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
14. 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.
15. A heater has hot or arcing or sparking pads inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or
flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the heater to an authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
17. This heater is not intended for use in any area where there is standing water. Never locate heater
where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
18. Do not use outdoors.
19. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle
when moving the unit. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the radiator 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.
20. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from the outlet.
