IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly
into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT
let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles
when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials,
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.
4. DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord
with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord away
from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
5. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry
areas and similar indoor location. NEVER locate heater
where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
6. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used
by, or near, children or disabled persons, and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.
7. DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
8. DO NOT operate heater with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to
manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.
9. A heater has hot and arcing, or sparking, parts inside.
DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or
flammable liquids are used or stored.
10. Use appliance only for intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not

recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by Bionaire®
may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or
exhaust in any manner. DO NOT use on soft surfaces,
like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
13. To disconnect heater, set controls to OFF, then remove
plug from outlet.
14. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the
cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not
less than 1875 watts.
15. Always unplug the heater when not in use.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED
WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a
plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
The length of the cord used on this product was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the heater. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord where it cannot be pulled
on by children or accidentally tripped over.
☛TIP: Over time, dust may accumulate on the front grills.
This can be removed by wiping the unit with a damp
cloth. Always unplug unit and allow to cool prior to
cleaning.
This device complies with Part15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically-
advanced safety system that requires the user to reset the
heater if there is a potential overheat situation. When a
potential overheat temperature is reached, the system will
automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume
operation when the user resets the unit.
To Reset the Heater:
1. Unplug the heater and wait 20 minutes for the unit to
cool down
2. After the 20 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate
normally.
TIP OVER PROTECTION
If unit tips over it will shut off. To reset simply place upright
on level surface.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully remove your heater from the box. (please save
the carton for off-season storage).
2. Place heater on firm level surface.
3. Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high
wattage appliances in the same outlet. At 1500 Watts,
this unit draws 12.5 Amps.
Note: The power light will remain lit during operation
2 3

FIRST USE ONLY:
1. Put batteries into Remote. The "Room" temperature is
displayed at all times. (Use 3 AAA Alkaline batteries
only, do not mix batteries)
2. Plug unit into outlet. The first time the unit is plugged
in, it will beep every two seconds until it is synced with
the remote. To sync unit with remote follow the below
steps:
Unlock remote. (This must be done before each use of
the remote) To Unlock remote, hold down the mode
button for 2 seconds until the lock symbol disappears
on the screen. Once the remote is unlocked, press the
mode button again and the unit will quickly beep 5
times telling the user the signal was received. DO NOT
SYNC more than 1 unit at once. A hazardous situation
may occur.
Note: If the batteries are running low on power, a low
battery indicator will appear on the remote. Low batteries
will affect transmission distance and the screen contrast.
We recommend replacing batteries immediately.
Note: The transmission distance for this remote is 30 ft,
do not use outside of 30 ft area of appliance. Remote
must be used in same room as appliance.
Note: Galileo can be used in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To change the reading on the remote, flip the remote over
and push the button located on the left hand side with a
ball point pen tip. This switch will change the reading from
