When using electrical appliances,

basic precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of re,

electric shock, and injury to persons,

including the following:

①Read all instructions before using

the stove.

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 (0.9m) from

the front of the unit.

CAUTION: High Temperature, keep

electrical cords, drapery, and other

furnishings at least 3 feet (0.9m)

from the front of the heater and

away from the side and rear.

③Extreme caution is necessary

when any heater is used by or near

children or invalids and whenever the

unit is left operating and unattended.

④Always unplug the stove when

not in use.

⑤Do not operate any unit with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the heater

has malfunctioned, or if the stove has

been dropped or damaged in any

manner. Return heater to authorized

service facility for examination,

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

electrical or mechanical adjustment,

or repair.

⑥Do not use outdoors.

⑦The stove is not intended for

use in bathrooms, laundry areas and

similar indoor locations. Never locate

heater where it may fall into a bathtub

or other water container.

⑧Do not run the cord under

carpeting. Do not cover cord with

throw rugs, runners, or the like.

Arrange cord away from trafc area

and where it will not be tripped over.

⑨To disconnect the unit, turn the

controls off, then remove the plug

from the outlet.

⑩Do 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.

⑪To prevent a possible re, do

not block air intake or exhaust in any

manner. Do not use on soft surfaces,

like a bed, where openings may

become blocked.

⑫All 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 or where the unit will be

exposed to ammable vapors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

⑬Do not modify the stove. Use

it only as described in this manual.

Any other use not recommended by

the manufacturer may cause re,

electric shock or injury to persons.

⑭To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this appliance has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the

other). This plug will t in a polarized

outlet only one way. If 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. Avoid the use of an

extension cord. Extension cords may

overheat and cause a risk of re. If

you must use an extension cord, the

cord must be No. 14 AWG minimum

size and rated no less than

1875 Watts.

⑮Do not burn wood or other

materials in the stove.

⑯Do not strike the clear door

panel.

⑰ Always use a certied electrician

should new circuits or outlets be

required.

⑱Always use properly grounded,

fused and polarized outlets.

⑲Disconnect all power supply

before performing any cleaning,

maintenance or relocation of the unit.

⑳When transporting or storing the

unit and cord, keep in a dry place,

free from excessive vibration and

store so as to avoid damage.

Quick Reference Guide

① Prior to the rst use of the

stove verify the following:

• Are the circuit breakers for the

unit on?

• Are the light bulbs in your

stove loose? (To check, follow

the instructions for replacing

the light bulbs under the

Maintenance section of this

manual.)

②The heater on your stove 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.

Stove Installation

!NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt

circuit is required. A dedicated

circuit is preferred but not

essential in all cases. A

dedicated circuit will be

required if, after installation,

the circuit breaker trips or

fuses blow 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.
