the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
⚫ This heater may include an audible or visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot. If the alarm sounds (or illuminates), immediately turn the heater off and inspect
for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may have blocked the airflow or otherwise
caused high temperatures to have occurred. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE
ALARM SOUNDING (OR ILLUMINATING).

• ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or
cleaning, or before relocating the electric fireplace.
• NEVER leave this heater unattended. ALWAYS unplug this heater when not in use.
• ALWAYS
store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.
• NEVER plug this heater into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has any loose wires or
connections. Plugging this heater into a faulty outlet could result in electric arcing within the
outlet that could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.
• ALWAYS check your heater cord and plug connections with each use.
i) MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs
can cause the outlet to overheat.
ii) Heaters draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may occur even if it
has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
iii) During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or face plate is HOT.
iv) If the outlet or face plate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
