REMEMBER: PORTABLE ELECTRIC HEATERS ARE DESIGNED FOR SPOT HEATING OR A SUPPLEMENTARY

HEAT SOURCE. THEY ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE THE MAIN SOURCE OF HEAT DURING THE NORMAL

HEATING SEASON.

PET OWNERS WARNING:

The health of some small pets including birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes produced during

the first-time use of many appliances. These fumes are not harmful to humans but we recommended

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER

NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odour when unit is first operated. Do not be

alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil during the manufacturing

process. It will quickly evaporate and should not re-occur. Make sure that the room in which

the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation.

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE

FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR

PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING

1. Read all instructions before using this heater.

2. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during

transportation.

3. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between

elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum

cleaner.

4. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that

receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of

overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your

electrician.

5. Connect to a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet only. Do not connect the heater to extension

cords, surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other appliances connected to

the same outlet. Risk of fire, overheat, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even

death may result if not adhered to!

6. This heater must be plugged into a 120V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Nothing else can

be plugged into the same circuit. If unsure if you home meets this specification, consult a

certified electrician prior to use. Risk of fire, overheat, malfunction, property damage,

injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!

7. Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or

relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

8. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of tipping it over.

9. Extreme caution and supervision is necessary when any heater is used near children or pets.

Do not operate the heater if unattended.

10. Always unplug heater when not in use.

11. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar

coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area

where it will not be tripped over.

12. It is normal for the heater‘s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which

becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical

outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater.

Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating of the power cord or

fire.

13. To prevent possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft

surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

14. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may

cause electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.

15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same

outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.

16. A heater has hot or arcing or sparking pads inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint

or flammable liquids are used or stored.

17. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has

been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to authorized service

facility for examination and / or repair.

18. This heater is not intended for use in any area where there is standing water. Never locate

heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

19. Do not use outdoors.

20. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use

handles when moving the unit. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,

papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the radiator

and keep them away from the sides and rear. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so

as not to block the air intake.

21. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from the outlet.

22. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock and injury to persons or damage to property.

23. Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.

24. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction regarding use of the appliance by a person responsible for their

safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
