Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet. Note: GFCI outlets are typically
found in bathrooms and kitchens and feature a “reset” button to
prevent tripping of an electrical circuit.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that
all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is
compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, re and electric
shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a
dimmer control switch. Use of this appliance on the same electrical
circuit as another high energy use product, such as a vacuum
cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised.

the unit on or off, as this may accidentally disable the heater’s
thermal cutout safety feature.

the power cord.
- While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock or re, or damage the heater.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose tting outlet

flickering/dimming during operation. Immediately turn off and
unplug the appliance if any such problems are noticed. Contact a
qualied electrician to investigate possible causes before operating
the appliance again.
- Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with
the other appliances.
- This heater is for use with 120 volt electrical outlets. The cord has
a plug as shown at A in Figure 65.1, below. An adapter as shown
at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs
to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a
three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
