IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!

WARNING

 Read all instructions before using the heater!

 DO NOT USE OUTDOORS!

 DO NOT run power cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover power cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. DO NOT route power cord under furniture or appliances.

Arrange power cord away from traffic area, and where it will not be tripped over.

 DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.

 To prevent possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Doing so could cause a fire. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

 A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.

 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.

 ALWAYS plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. NEVER use with an

extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

 ALWAYS keep electric cords, home furnishings, drapes, clothing, papers, or other

combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from the front of this heater, and away from the bottom, sides, and rear of this heater.

 DO NOT place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.

 AVOID FIRE! Regularly inspect all air vents to make sure they are free from dust, lint, or other blockage. Unplug the unit and clean with a vacuum ONLY. DO NOT rinse or get wet.

WARNING

 ALWAYS HANG UNIT BEFORE USE. DO NOT turn on or use while the unit is sitting on the floor, ground, or other surface.

 The wall mount system is designed for use ONLY with this product. NEVER use a wall mount system from another manufacturer.

 Use extreme caution if using this heater near children, or where children may be present.

WARNING

 Risk of electric shock! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts inside!

 ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.

 ALWAYS disconnect this unit from the power supply before performing any assembly or cleaning, or before relocating the electric fireplace.

 ALWAYS store this heater in a dry location. NEVER use the fireplace if it has become wet.

 NEVER use this heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any other location where the heater could fall into a bathtub or pool, become damp or come in contact with water.

 NEVER hang this unit on a wall directly below an electrical outlet.

 NEVER operate this heater if the power cord or plug has become damaged, or if the

grounding pin is damaged or missing.

 Place the heater near a wall outlet so an extension cord is not needed. If an extension cord is needed, the gauge of the cord must be at least 14AWG, and the rating must be at least

1875 Watts. NEVER use a smaller gauge cord with a lower rating. Doing so may result in

fire or electric shock.

 ONLY use this heater on a 110~120 Volt 15 Amp grounded circuit. NEVER overload the

circuit. If this heater trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit before the next use. Avoid plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this heater.

 NEVER plug this heater into an outlet that is old, cracked, or has any loose wires or

connections. Plugging this heater into a faulty outlet could result in electric arcing within the outlet that could cause the outlet to overheat or catch fire.

 ALWAYS check your heater cord and plug connections with each use! i) MAKE SURE the plug fits tight in the outlet! Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet to overheat. ii) Heaters draw more current than small appliances. Overheating may occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances. iii) During use check frequently to see if the plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! iv) If the outlet or faceplate is HOT, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.

 The power cord supplied with the heater has three prongs: two flat blades (live and neutral) and one round pin (ground). If a 3-slot receptacle is not available, an adapter MUST be used. The adapter MUST be properly

grounded to the outlet box (see figure at right). [NOTE: Adapter NOT INCLUDED.]
