IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be taken to avoid the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read these instructions thoroughly before using this heater.
2. If your radiator is equipped with a polythene tape, which serves as carry handle, remove it
prior to connecting the appliance to an outlet.
3. This heater becomes very hot when operating. To avoid burns, do not touch its hot surfaces
with your bare skin. Use the heater’s handle when moving it. Keep combustible materials,
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) away
from the heater’s front and top, and also well away from its sides and rear.
4. Extreme caution should be taken when leaving an operating heater unattended near children
or handicapped persons.
5. Always unplug the heater when it is not in use.
6. Do not operate your heater when its cord or plug has been damaged or
after it has malfunctioned, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If
you notice any leakage of oil, switch it off immediately and contact a service
center as indicated in these instructions. Return the heater to an authorized
service facility for inspection, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
7. Your heater should not be operated outdoors.
8. Your heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations.
Never locate the heater where it might fall into a bathtub or other water containers.
9. Do not run the electric cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners, or the like. Run the cord away from traffic areas and where it
will not be tripped over.
10.To disconnect the heater, switch it OFF, then unplug its cord from the outlet.
11. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
12. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this might
cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
13. To prevent fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not place the heater on
soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may be blocked.
14. Your heater’s internal parts may become hot or issue sparks during normal
operation. Therefore, you should not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or
flammable liquids are used or stored.
15. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer might cause fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
16. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliances are plugged into the
same shared outlet, or a separate outlet on the same shared circuit.
17. The heater’s electric cord and plug may grow warmer during normal operation. However,
exceedingly hot or deformed plug or cord are not normal, and are often the result of a defecti-
ve power outlet. You should replace such outlets prior to further use of the heater. Continuous
use of defective outlets might cause cord overheating and fire.
18. The use of extension cords is not recommended, as they are likely to
overheat and increase the risk of fire. However, where necessary, you may
use a No. 1 4 AWG or larger cord rated for 1875 watts or more; the exten-
sion cord should not be shared by any other appliance.
19. Make sure the heater is firmly plugged into the wall outlet. Please note that the quality of wall
outlets may deteriorate over time: Check the electric plug periodically for signs of overheating
or deformation, and in such cases, stop using that outlet and have it fixed.
20. Check that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during
transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between
heating elements. If necessary, remove such pieces using a vacuum cleaner.
22.When switching the heater on for the first time, allow it to run at full power
for about two hours to get rid of a possibly unpleasant smell. Make sure
that the room where the heater is placed is well ventilated during this first
operation. Soft crackling sounds are normal during the heater’s first opera-
tion.the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is nor-
mal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on for
the first time.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
