DO NOT place the drum heater over dents or extreme rust spots.b. DO NOT immerse heater in water.c. DO NOT operate heater at a voltage higher than specified or rated as indicated on the label.d. DO NOT expose heater to chemicals, acids, alkalis, oils, fluids or other substances that could ignite or cause damage to the heater.e.
