fire, electric shock, and injury to

persons, including the following:

①Read all instructions before

using the electric replace.

②The heater is hot when in use.

To avoid burns, do not let bare

skin touch hot surfaces. The trim

around the heater outlet becomes

hot during heater operation.

③Extreme caution is neces-

sary when any heater is used by

or near children or invalids and

whenever the unit is left operating

and unattended.

④Always unplug the electric

replace when not in use.

⑤Do not operate any heater

after it malfunctions. Disconnect

power at the service panel and

have the heater inspected by a

reputable electrician before reus-

ing.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: This equipment has been

tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in

a residential installation. This equipment

generates uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause harmful interference to radio

or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet

on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or

modications not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate this

equipment.

This device complies with Industry

Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not

cause interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this

radio transmitter may only operate using

an antenna of a type and maximum (or

lesser) gain approved for the transmitter

by Industry Canada. To reduce potential

radio interference to other users, the

antenna type and its gain should be so

chosen that the equivalent isotropically

radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more

than that necessary for successful

communication.

Installation

WARNING: Ensure the power

cord is not installed so that it is

pinched or against a sharp edge

and ensure that the power cord is

stored or secured to avoid tripping

or snagging to reduce the risk

of re, electric shock or injury to

persons.

WARNING: Construction

and electrical outlet wiring must

comply with local building codes

and other applicable regulations

to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock and injury to persons.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons,

always use a licensed electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk

of re, do not store or use gaso-

line or other ammable vapors or

liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

1. Select a suitable location that

is not susceptible to moisture

and is away from drapes,

fuse blows on a regular basis

when the heater is operating. Ad-

ditional appliances on the same

circuit may exceed the current

rating of the circuit breaker.

3. Store the replace in a safe

dry and dust free location.
