clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater,
and keep them away from the sides and rear.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and

DO NOT run power cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover power cord
with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. DO NOT route power
cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange power cord away from
traffic area, and where it will not be tripped over.
DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening, as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage
the heater.
To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Doing so could cause a fire. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like
a bed, where openings may become blocked.

DO NOT place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or
blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
NEVER use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other
location where the heater could fall into a bathtub or pool, become
damp, or come in contact with water.
AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they are free
from dust, lint, or other blockage. Unplug the unit and clean with a
vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.
WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND ON THE POWER SWITCH THE SOLE
MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING
THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
WARNING: REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK---DO NOT
USE THIS HEATER WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICES.
For residential use only! NOT for commercial use! Any commercial or
public use of this heater voids all warranties, and could cause injury.
This product is not intended to be a primary heat source. It is for
supplemental heat only.

ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it
has become wet.
ONLY use this heater on a 120V AC 15-Amp circuit. NEVER overload
the circuit. If this heater trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other
appliances on the same circuit before the next use. Avoid plugging
other appliances into the same circuit as this heater.
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!
1. MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall outlet
connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet to overheat.
2. Heaters draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may
occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
3. During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or faceplate is
HOT!
4. If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and
have a qualified electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.
This heater has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature to reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug is
intended to 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. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety
feature.

to an existing outlet or install an outlet on a nearby wall stud within
the wall). The circuit should be 120v 15amp.
The power cord is 6ft long. If the cord is not long enough to reach the
outlet, a grounded extension cord minimum AWG No. 14 wiring and
rated to a minimum or 1875 watts may be used, please kindly noted
that it should not be longer than 7.87ft.
Make sure the outlet is in good condition and that the plug is not
loose. NEVER exceed the maximum amperage for the circuit. DO NOT
plug other appliances into the same circuit.
3) Recessed into a wall
