When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons, and hyperthermia, including the following:
1. Carefully read and keep this instruction manual for future reference. Heed all warnings
and cautionary markings on the appliance.
2. This heater becomes hot during operation. To prevent burns, do not allow bare skin to
contact hot surfaces.
3. If handles are provided, always use them when moving the heater to ensure safe
handling.
4. Extreme cautions are required when using this heater near children or individuals with
disabilities. Never leave the heater operating while unattended.
5. Do not allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust openings, as this may
pose a risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.
6. The output of this heater may vary, and its temperature can become high enough to c
ause burns on exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for individuals
with reduced sensitivity to heat or those unable to react in time to avoid burns.
7. Do not undertake any modifications or repairs on this product independently. Such
actions may invalidate the warranty and could lead to product damage or personal
injury. Only a certified repair technician is permitted to disassemble or carry out repairs
on this product.
8. Verify that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging materials are present between
the components of the appliance. It may be advisable to employ a vacuum cleaner to
eliminate any residual debris.
9. If the machine is not functioning properly, has sustained a sharp impact, been dropped,
damaged, exposed to outdoor conditions, or immersed in water, do not use the
appliance. Instead, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
10.Upon first operation of the unit, you may notice a slight trace of smoker or an odor.
This is a normal occurrence caused by a small amount of oil that may have come into
contact with the heating coil during the manufacturing process. This condition will
dissipate quickly and should not reoccur.
1. This heater is not designed for outdoor use.
2. Ensure that the heater is placed on a stable and secure surface to minimize the risk of
tipping over.
3. Ensure that all combustible materials – such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothing, and curtains – are maintained a minimum distance of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from
the front of the heater. Furthermore, it is essential to keep these materials clear of the
sides and rear of the unit.
4. The heater contains hot, arcing, or sparking components. Do not operate it in areas
where gasoline, paint, or other flammable liquids are used or stored.

4. To disconnect the heater, first turn the control to the “OFF” position, then remove the
plug from the outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect the heater.
5. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operations. To prevent circuit overload, do not
connect the heater to a circuit that is already powering other appliances.
6. CAUTION: Always plug the hea
ter directly into a wall outlet or receptacle. Never use it
with an extension cord or power strip.
7. CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to exhibit warmth during operation. However, a
loose connection between the AC outlet (receptacle) and the plug can result in
overheating and potential distortion of the plug. Should you observe a loose or worn
outlet, please consult a qualified electrician for replacement.
