8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will
not be tripped over.
9. CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit
only one way in a polarized outlet. 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. To do so
could result in an electric shock hazard.
10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading
a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other
appliances working.
11. CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however,
a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to
replace loose or worn outlet.
12. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to the OFF position, then
grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
13. 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.
14. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surface, such as a bed, where openings
may become blocked.
15. Aheater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
17. CAUTION: 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.
18. The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become
intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not
recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an
inability to react to avoid burns.
19. Do not remove grille guard or allow heater to be operated without
grille guard in place.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS
This product is rated 12.5 amps (1500W) at 110~120Volt AC, 60 Hz.
OPERATION
1. Place the heater on a firm level surface free from obstructions, and at
least 3 ft. (0.9m) away from any wall or combustible material.
2. With the Selector Knob in the OFF position, Plug the heater power cord
directly into a standard grounded 110~120 Volt AC outlet. Always operate
the heater in the upright position with the rubber feet on the floor.
3. Rotate wattage selector knob to the “1500W” position. This provides the
maximum heat output.
4. Rotate the “ THERMOSTAT” knob clockwise(right) to the “HIGH” setting
until the knob stops. The heater should begin heating and the fan should
start to blow warm air.
5. Allow the heater to operate until the room temperature reaches the
desired level, then slowly rotate the “THERMOSTAT” knob
counter-clockwise(left) until the heater cycles off. At this setting, the
heater will cycle on and off automatically to maintain this comfort level.
NOTE: Do not force knob beyond its normal stop position. It may be
necessary to make minor adjustments to the thermostat to maintain the
desired comfort level. Clockwise movement will increase the room
temperature. Counter-clockwise movement will decrease room
temperature.
6.To conserve energy, the heater may be operated at a lower wattage by
rotating control knob to the “ 1300 W” position.
