Use and Care Manual

17. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug
or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may
be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be
replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging this heater into a worn
outlet may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.
18. Make sure the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Be
mindful that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use.
Check periodically for signs of overheating or deformations of the plug. If
any overheating or deformation occurs, immediately discontinue using the
heater and contact Dr. Infrared Heater Authorized Service Center.
19. CHECK YOUR HEATER CORD AND PLUG CONNECTIONS. Faulty wall
outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlets or plug to overheat.
During use, please check frequently to determine if your plug outlet or
faceplate is HOT! If it is hot, discontinue using the heater and/or make
certain a qualified electrician checks and replaces the faulty outlet(s).
20. Hyperthermia can result in death. Symptoms of hyperthermia include high
body temperature, headache, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, dizziness,
fainting, and rapid pulse. If you begin to experience symptoms related to
hyperthermia, turn off the heater and seek medical attention.
21. To avoid excessive room temperatures which can cause hyperthermia: DO
NOT leave product running unattended in a confined space around infants,
or individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
CAUTION: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
