skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving
this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from
the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides
and rear.

or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left
operating and unattended.
7) Always unplug the heater when not in use.
8) When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
