• Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from
obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from any wall
or any combustible material. DO NOT use on an unstable
surface such as bedding or deep carpeting.
• Fully extend metal stand located on the back of the heater
and route cord through stand.
HEATER SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT THE METAL
STAND PROPERLY POSITIONED.
BE SURE THE HEATER IS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE IT
MAY BE TRIPPED OVER BY CHILDREN OR PETS.
SET-UP
• Turn off the heater.
• Allow it to cool for ten minutes.
• Unplug heater and move. This heater is equipped with
a Cool Touch housing for your convenience. Please use
caution when moving as grille area could be hot.
MOVING THE HEATER
OPERATION
• NOTE: While the UberHeat™ Ceramic Heater requires no assembly, the metal stand located
on the back of the unit should be properly positioned before use.
• NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED
• The UberHeat™ Ceramic Heater is a portable ceramic heater designed to provide quick,
even heating for personal warmth and whole room heating.
Model HCE200 Series - Manual Ceramic Heater Operation
• With the Power Switch 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 Switch is equipped with two (2) settings, Low
and High. The Low setting ( ) uses 900 watts of power
and the High setting ( ) uses 1500 watts of power. You
can select the proper setting to accommodate your comfort
level with the Power Switch. When you choose any setting
the red Power Light will come on. 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 amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the
High setting.

If tipped over, the unit should be set upright and follow the OPERATION instructions.
•A high temperature safety control prevents overheating. If activated, unplug the device and wait
at least 10 minutes or allow the unit to cool completely. Then plug the heater back in and follow
the OPERATION instructions.
•The heater is also equipped with a thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the
heater should it operate at a higher than normal temperature. If activated, the unit will need
to be replaced.
•This heater was created using a high quality, heat resistant plastic and has a Cool to Touch housing.
CLEANING

• 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 Switch to OFF ( ) and unplug the heater when you are finished using it.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your UberHeatTM Ceramic 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.
• Check to ensure that metal stand does not rest on top of
power cord. This could activate the tip-over switch. Cord should
be routed through the metal stand.

Operation Cost* To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiple the watts used times .001 to
convert into a kilowatts measure and multiple by your local kilowatt electric rate for however long
you run the heater. For example, if your electric rate is $.1196**per kilowatt hour and you ran this
heater in constant high mode (1500 watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you $.71 cents to run the
heater (1500 watts x 4 hours x.001) x .1196kwp = .71 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 Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
