-This product is equipped with a 3-prong plug, with a grounding

pin as a safety feature. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

plug is intended to connect to properly grounded outlets only.

This plug will ﬁt into a grounded outlet only one way. Do not

alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety purpose of

the grounding plug.

DANGER

Risk From Electrical Connections. Please pay attention to any

instructions given to avoid personal injury or property damage.

-A loose ﬁt between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause

overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the

product in this outlet. Contact qualiﬁed electrician to replace

loose or worn outlet.

-Do Not use this heater on a circuit that is shared with another

high-power device, such as a vacuum or circular saw.

-Do Not use this heater on a circuit that has a variable-speed

device operating, such as a blender or variable-speed fan.

-Do Not use this heater on a surge-protected circuit.

-Do Not use this heater with any kind of timer designed to turn

the unit on or off.

-Do Not use the heater on any Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted

(GFCI) outlet. A GFCI outlet has a reset button in the middle of

the outlet.

-Do Not use this heater in an RV, boat or any application where

a DC/AC inverter is converting battery power to AC power.

-Do Not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation

or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or ﬁre or

damage the heater.

-Always plug heaters directly into wall outlet/receptacle. Never

use with an extension cord or re-locatable power tab

(outlet/power).

-Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use

not recommended by the manufacturer may cause ﬁre, electric

shock or injury to persons.

-This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system,

designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating

condition is detected. See “RESET HEATER” to determine how

to check and reset the heater.

-In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of

thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through

an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a

6English

circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

-Always unplug when not in use or when leaving the dwelling or

premises for extended periods of time.

-Do Not place the heater directly below a socket outlet.

-To disconnect heater, turn controls off, then remove plug

from outlet.

-The VMH600, like any other 1500-watt electric heater, draws up

to 12.5 amps of electric current. If using your VMH600 on the

High Heat mode setting causes your home circuit breaker or

fuse to trip, we offer the following suggestions:

-Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same

electrical circuit as your VMH600.

-Run the VMH600 on Low Heat mode.

-Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s

electrical system.

-ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/

OR ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.

-Do Not use more than one heater at a time on the

same circuit.

-Never ignore or take lightly the signs of an electrical problem,

such as:

-Warm outlet cover plates

-Sparking at outlet when plugging in or during operation

-Light ﬂickering or dimming (indicates a shared circuit

or problem)

- Investigate the cause of these before continuing to use

the heater.

- This product must be grounded. If the product malfunctions,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The 3-prong plug

must be inserted into a grounded outlet that has been properly

installed in accordance with all electric codes and ordinances.

If you are in doubt as to whether or not an outlet is properly

grounded, contact a qualiﬁed electrician.

- This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as

shown at A in Figure 65.1. An adapter as shown at C is available

for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot

receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the

adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a

properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used

if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

WARNING

Risk of burn.

-Do Not use heater to dry human or animal hair or articles

of clothing.

-This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare

skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving this heater.

Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,

papers, clothes and curtains, at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front

of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

Warning: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover

the heater.

Figure 65.1

-To prevent a possible ﬁre, do not block air intakes or exhaust in

any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, such as a bed, where

openings may become blocked.

it in areas where gasoline, paint or ﬂammable liquids are used

or stored.

WARNING
