Operation
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 V AC,
60 Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits 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.
!WARNING: FIRE HAZARD Do not use near combustible materials or
flammable gases or sources of heat. Do not place the heater near a bed
because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited
by the heater.
!WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD Use your heater only in dry environments. This
heater is not intended for use near sinks, washing machines, swimming pools
or other sources of water. Do not use in damp environments such as flooded
basements.
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 heater’s initial use, you may experience a slight
odour 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.)
