precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do
not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If, provided, use
handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m)
from the front of the heater and keep them away
from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is
used by or near children or invalids and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or
plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater
to authorized service facility for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms,
laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never
locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord
with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord
away from traffic area where it will not be tripped
over.
9. Connect to properly grounded outlets only. This
heater is for use on 120 volts. This appliance has a
grounded plug as shown in Fig. 1. An adapter is
available at retail (not included) for connecting three-
blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles.
The green grounding 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.
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. 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 off the product,
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 surfaces,
like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
15. A heater 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. 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. The extension cord shall
be a three wire cord with a grounding-type cord and
plug connector.
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. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
HZ-510_OM_Rev1.qxd 6/22/06 10:59 AM Page 1

• Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 ft. (0.9m) away
from any combustible materials. DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep
carpeting. Be sure the heater is not in a position where it may be tripped over by small children
or pets. The heater’s rubber feet will hold it firmly in position.
• With the Power knob in the OFF position, plug the heater into a grounded 120V outlet suitable for a
3-prong plug (Fig.1).
• Turn the Thermostat fully clockwise to its highest position.
This heater is equipped with adjustable front legs that allow you to adjust
the heat output angle up and down.
Adjust the angle up or down by turning the lever located on the side of the
heater counter-clockwise to tilt up. Turn the lever clockwise to
lower the output angle. (Fig. 2).

• Use the Power knob to turn the heater on to Low ( ) (900W) or High
( ) (1500W) (Fig. 3). The power light will illuminate.
This portable space heater includes an energy efficient setting which is
the Low ( ) setting. Because a lower 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 high power consumption.
• When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the
Thermostat control counter-clockwise until the heater goes 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 this selected temperature.
• Turn the Power knob to OFF and unplug the heater when you are
finished using it.
NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A SAFEGUARD™ALERT HEAT
INDICATOR BADGE (FIG. 4). WHEN THE SAFEGUARD™ALERT BADGE
LOCATED ON THE GRILL CHANGES FROM BLACK TO RED THE GRILL IS
HOT TO THE TOUCH. DO NOT TOUCH THE GRILL UNTIL THE UNIT HAS
BEEN TURNED OFF AND THE SAFEGUARD™ALERT BADGE HAS TURNED
BACK TO BLACK.
