SAFETY FEATURES
This heater is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:
• A high temperature safety sensor prevents overheating. If activated, unplug the device and wait at least
10 minutes or allow the unit to cool completely. Make sure the operating conditions are safe and then
plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.
• A thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a higher than
normal temperature.
• A high temperature plastic and a cool to touch housing and handle.
• Thermal insulated wiring for heat resistance and reinforced wire connections to help protect against
loose connections.
OPERATION
• With the Power Knob in the OFF ( ) position, plug
the heater into a polarized 120V outlet.
DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET;
it will only fit one way
• The Power Knob is equipped with three (3) settings: Fan Only
(), Low ( ) and High ( ). The Low ( ) heat setting uses 550
watts of power and the High ( ) heat setting uses 1100 Watts of
power. The Fan only ( ) setting uses very low power and does not
provide heat. You can select the proper setting to accommodate your
comfort level with the Power Knob. When you choose any setting the
red Power Light will come on. Because the Low ( ) heat setting does
not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient
and may be a better option if you are concerned about the amperage
draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting.
• Turn the Thermostat Control fully clockwise to the highest setting.
• When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the
Thermostat Control counter-clockwise until the heating element
goes off (the red Power Light will not be shut off). This is the point at
which the Thermostat setting equals the room temperature. At this
setting, the Thermostat will automatically turn the heater on and off
to maintain the selected temperature.
• Turn the Power Knob to OFF ( ) and unplug the heater when
you are finished using it. Unplug the heater when you are finished
using it.
NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING HEATER UNATTENDED
This heater can be operated in the upright position
or on its side.

CLEANING
We recommend that your heater be cleaned at least once a month and before off-season storage.
• Turn the heater OFF ( ) and unplug it. Allow it to cool.
• Use a dry cloth only to clean the external surfaces of the heater. DO NOT USE WATER, WAXES, POLISHES
OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
STORAGE
Clean your heater using the above-mentioned steps. Wrap the cord around the unit. Place in its original box and
store it in a cool, dry place.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your heater shuts off unexpectedly or fails to operate, one of your heater safety features may have been
activated to prevent overheating.
• Be sure it is plugged in and that the electrical outlet is working.
• Check your Thermostat Control setting. The unit may simply be off because you have reached your desired
heat setting.
• Check for any obstructions. If you find an obstruction, turn the heater OFF ( ) and unplug it. Allow the
heater to cool completely, then remove the obstruction. Wait at least 10 minutes, then plug the heater back
in and follow the OPERATION instructions.

Operation Cost* To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used by 0.001 to convert
into kilowatts then multiply by your local kilowatt electric rate for however long you run the heater.
For example, if your electric rate is $0.1284** per kilowatt hour and you ran this heater in constant high mode
(1100 Watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you $0.56 cents to run the heater (1100 Watts x 4 hours x 0.001) x
0.1284kwp = $0.56 cents.
NOTE: Because the Low setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and
may be a better option if you are concerned about the higher power consumption when the heater is on the
High setting.
*Calculation (Total Wattage x .001 x hours used) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
