Do not operate within 12 feet (4 metres) of a pool, bathtub, shower or other body of water. Do not position directly under a ceiling fan or sprinkler. Turn off and allow the heater to cool before opening, adjusting or closing the arm. Unplug and fold the arm before moving the heater; retain the assembled base weights to prevent tipping. Keep children away from hot surfaces and pinch points.
Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance. Do not immerse the heater or spray it with water. Store it protected from sun and rain during extended non-use. Installation and operation must follow the complete manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
