Overheating: Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Electrical Safety:
- DO NOT operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug, after it has malfunctioned, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard the heater or return it to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
