IMPORTANT NOTE:
The pilot light is an indicator that the heating elements are energized or can be energized regardless of the
thermostat setting.
OPERATION:
Make sure the switch is in the off position and the thermostat is in the low position before plugging into the
receptacle. After energizing the heater, turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise to allow the desired area to
reach a comfortable temperature. When the area reaches the desired level of comfort, turn the thermostat
knob counterclockwise until the heater de-energizes. The thermostat will cycle the heater on and off to main-
tain the current setting. To turn the heater off, turn the power switch to the off position.
For heaters rated for use on 120 volts, if the cord has a plug as shown at “A” below, an adapter as shown at
“C” is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two slot receptacles. The green ground-
ing lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
For heaters rated for use on 240 or 208 volts, the cord has one of the plug caps as shown in “D” below. No
adapter is available for these blade congurations, and none should be used. The type outlet is a 240 or 208
volt grounding outlet. When properly installed, it provides a ground connection through the cord to the heater
to protect the operator from electrical shock.
