persons, including the following:

① Read all instructions before us-

ing the electric replace.

③ Extreme caution is neces-

sary when any heater is used by

or near children or invalids and

whenever the unit is left operating

and unattended.

④ Always unplug the electric

replace when not in use.

⑤ Do not operate any heater after

it malfunctions. Disconnect power

at the service panel and have the

heater inspected by a reputable

electrician before reusing.

⑥ Do not operate any unit with

a damaged cord or plug, or if the

heater has malfunctioned, or if

the electric replace has been

dropped or damaged in any man-

ner, contact Dimplex Technical

Service at 1-888-346-7539.

⑦Do not use outdoors.

⑧ Never locate heater where it

may fall into a bathtub or other

tripped over.

⑩ To disconnect the unit, turn the

controls off, then remove the plug

from the outlet

⑪ 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 to the heater.

⑫ To prevent a possible re, do

not block air intake or exhaust in

any manner.

⑬ All electrical heaters have

hot and arcing or sparking parts

inside. Do not use in areas where

gasoline, paint, or ammable

liquids are used or stored.

⑭ Do not modify the electric re-

place. Use it only as described

or injury to persons.

⑮ To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this appliance has a polar-

ized plug (one blade is wider than

the plug does not t fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not t, contact a qualied

electrician to install the proper

outlet. Do not change the plug in

any way.

⑯ Always plug heaters directly

into a wall outlet/receptacle.

Never use with an extension cord

or relocatable power tap (outlet/

power strip).

⑰ Do not burn wood or other ma-

terials in the electric replace.

⑱ Do not strike the replace

glass.

⑲ Always use a certied electri-

cian should new circuits or outlets

be required.

⑳ Always use properly grounded,

fused and polarized outlets.

㉑ Disconnect all power supply

before performing any cleaning,

maintenance or relocation of the

unit.

㉒When transporting or stor-

ing the unit and cord, keep in a

dry place, free from excessive

vibration and store so as to avoid
