heater is left operating and unattended.

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

line, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. This heater is not intended for use with an extension cord or outlet strip. Plug the cord directly
into an appropriate wall receptable.
20. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate outlet. Please remember that outlets
also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs of overheating or
deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the outlet and CALL your electrician.
