• Tip-Over Switch: An automatic tip-over switch ensures the heater turns off immediately if it is accidentally knocked over.
• Placement: Always place the heater on a firm, level surface. Do not place it on soft surfaces like beds or rugs where openings may become blocked.
• Clearance: Maintain a minimum of 3 feet (0.9 meters) clearance from walls, furniture, curtains, and other combustible materials.
• Power Connection: Plug the heater directly into a wall outlet. Do not use extension cords, power strips, or surge protectors. Avoid plugging other high-power appliances into the same outlet.
• Cord Inspection: Do not use the heater if the cord is damaged. Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of wear or damage.
• Ventilation: Ensure the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Do not cover the heater.
• Moisture: Do not use the heater in wet or damp locations, except for bathrooms where the ALCI plug provides specific protection. Ensure the heater itself does not come into direct contact with water.
