The BLAZE 40/60E Electric Fan Heater is a robust and versatile construction heater designed for temporary heating in various environments. Manufactured by Campo Equipment Co. Ltd., this unvented, unattended electric fan heater is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, offering flexibility in its application. It is primarily intended for professional use, emphasizing the need for users to read and understand the manual thoroughly before assembly, starting, or servicing to prevent serious injury.

Function Description

The primary function of the BLAZE 40/60E is to provide temporary heat for large spaces, buildings, and machinery.
