USAGE:
HEATER OPERATION: Always operate the heater in the upright
position following all instructions and recommendations listed
in this manual.
HEATER LOCATION: Place the heater in the area of the room
that is coldest.
HEATER CONNECTION: Plug heater directly into 120 Volt AC,
60Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug ts tightly in outlet. A loose
connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug
or heater.
NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.
TURNING HEATER ON: To start the heater, turn the ON/OFF
Switch from the OFF position to the ON (I / II) position.
Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwise to the HIGH
THERMOSTAT position as described below. (During the heaters
initial use, you may experience a slight odor or smoking.
This is the result of the heating element lubrication “burning off”.
This is normal and will go away after a few minutes of use.)
POWER LEVEL SWITCH: This heater has two heat settings:
750W and 1,500W. Use the higher setting (1,500W) to raise
the room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature
is reached use the lower 750W setting. It is usually sufcient
to maintain a comfortable temperature.
SETTING THERMOSTAT: After heater has been turned on and
the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate
the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until the heater shuts
off (you should hear a faint “click”). By leaving the thermostat
at this setting it will automatically maintain this temperature.
To lower temperature, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise
(towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the
thermostat knob clockwise (towards the HIGH position).
TURNING OFF: Turn the ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position
before unplugging or plugging in the heater. Heater should be
unplugged when not in use.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: The Power Indicator Light will
illuminate when the heater is turned on.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: This heater is packaged with the
legs unassembled. The legs must be attached before operating
the heater. Please notice the arrow on each base leg. It shows
the installation direction to the front of the heater. Insert the
protrusions on the leg into the notches on the bottom of the
heater. Once inserted, push base leg towards heater front until
it stops. Use supplied screw to secure leg. Repeat steps for
second leg.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES:
The Power Indicator Light, located below the thermostat switch,
lights whenever the heater is turned on. The heater is equipped
with an automatic overheat protection device located inside
the body of the heater. If the heater grille is obstructed, or if
the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat
protection device will turn the heater off. To reset the heater,
simply turn power off and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until
it cools down and restart. Be sure that the heater is on a smooth
level surface with no obstructions.
