by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is

left operating unattended.

5. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded

plug that must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Un-

and ordinances. This work must be done only by a quali-

fied electrician, using copper wire only.
