HEATER LOCATION: Before using this heater, ensure that it is
placed on a at, stable surface.

heater. NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the

TURNING HEATER ON: To start the heater, turn the Power
Control dial from the OFF position to the LOW or HIGH
setting. 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.

High and Low. Use the higher setting (1500 watt) to raise the
room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is

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).
TO OPERATE FAN ONLY: Turn the Power Control dial to the
