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. Keep

combustible materials, such

as furniture, pillows, bedding,

papers, clothes, and curtains at

least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front

of the unit.

③Extreme caution is necessary

when any heater is used by or

near children or invalids and

whenever the unit is left operating

Quick Reference Guide

Prior to the rst use of the 1.

replace verify the following:

Are the circuit breakers for•

the unit on?

Are the light bulbs in your•

replace loose? (to check,

follow the instructions for

replacing the light bulbs

under the Maintenance

section of this manual)

The heater on your replace 2.

may emit a slight, harmless

odor when rst used. This

odor is a normal condition

caused by the initial heating

of internal heater parts and

will not occur again.

The information regarding the3.

model of your replace can

be found on the rating plate

located on the front of the

dedicated circuit is preferred

but not essential in all cases. A

dedicated circuit will be required

if, after installation, the circuit

breaker trips or fuse blows on a

regular basis when the heater is

operating. Additional appliances

on the same circuit may exceed

the current rating of the circuit

breaker.

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.

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.

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.
