ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Risk of Fire –Do Not Operate Without Legs Attached to Heater!
1. Before using the heater, attach the feet (included separately) to the unit.
2. Attach to the base of the heater using the 4 tapping screws provided, taking care
to ensure that they are located correctly in the bottom ends of the heater.
OPERATION
1. It is normal for the heater to emit some odor when it is turned on for the first
time or after having not been used for a long period of time. This will disappear
when the heater has been on a short while.
2. Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into account the previously
stated safety instructions.
3. Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable outlet.
4. Turn the thermostat knob fully in a clockwise direction to the maximum setting.
5. Turn on the heating elements by means of the rocker switches (750W, 750W) on
the side of the heater. When the heating elements are on, the switches will
illuminate. The heat output for each switch is 750W. For a maximum heat output
of 1500W, both switches should be on.
6. When the desired room temperature has been reached, the lights on the rocker
switches will turn off. The heater will keep the air temperature in the room at the
set temperature by switching on and off automatically.
7. When set at minimum (fully counter-clockwise) position (depending on the size of
the room) the heater will maintain the temperature above freezing.
8. You may turn on the fan to accelerate the heat convection for quick room
warming.

SETTING THE TIMER
1. To use the heater in timed mode, it must be permanently connected to the power
supply. If the power is disconnected, the clock will stop.
2. To operate the heater in timed mode, the red switch within the dial should be in
the center position (HEAT + TIMER). If it is in the left position (HEAT ON), the
heater will be permanently ON. If it is in the right position (HEAT OFF), the
heater will be completely OFF.
3. The numbers around the timer dial show the time in 12-hour AM/PM sets. White
numbering goes from 1:00 AM - 12:00 PM, red numbering goes from 1:00 PM -
12:00 AM. The timer is controlled by the red/white plastic segments. One single
segment represents 15 minutes. Push the segment(s) away from the center of
the dial for the heater to turn ON for that time period. Push the segments toward
the center dial for the heater to turn OFF for that time period.
4. Rotate the dial clockwise until the arrowhead (to the left of the red switch on the
dial) points to the current time.
FOR EXAMPLE: To set the timer to turn on at 1:00pm and turn off at 3:00pm, set the
red switch to the center position (HEAT + TIMER). Push the red segments away
between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on the dial. Make sure the arrowhead is pointing toward
the current time. The heater will automatically turn on at 1:00 PM and turn off at 3:00
PM.
SAFETY FEATURE
Indicator Light
This heater has a indicator light below the thermostat (see parts page) which turns on to
indicate when the heater is switched on and plugged into a power outlet. When the
heater is unplugged from the power source the indicator lamp will turn off.
Overheating Protection
The heater has an internal, over-heating safety device which automatically switches the
heater off if an over-heat situation is detected. If this should occur, unplug the appliance
and wait until the unit cools off. Once the unit has fully cooled, you can switch it on
again.

Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:

cooled before cleaning or attempting to store the item. Do not immerse heater
in water or allow water to drip into the interior of the heater, as this could
create an electric shock hazard.
