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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•Place the heater on a firm level surface free from obstructions, and at least 3 ft.
away from any wall and any other objects such as furniture, curtains, plants or
combustible material.
•With the Power Switch “A” in the ”OFF” position, plug the heater into a
polarized 120V outlet.
•Turn the heater ”ON” by pressing the Power Switch “A”. The Power Switch
Light will illuminate.
•Set the desired temperature by turning the Thermostat Control “B” dial
“clockwise” to increase the temperature or “counter clockwise” to decrease
the temperature.
CAUTION: This heater includes a Thermal Cut-Off Overheat Protection System that
shuts the heater off if it overheats due to abnormal conditions. If this occurs, turn the
heater ”OFF”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or adjacent to the
heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume normal operation.
PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IN ROOM
For most efficient heating, place the heater on the floor where the air is cooler, and
about 3 feet from any wall. To heat your room, the heater will be most efficient when
placed near an outside door, the bottom of a staircase, or where colder air is most
likely to be entering the room.
CLEANING THE DUST FILTER
The filter collects dirt and dust from air circulating through the heater. To clean the
filter, remove the Carry Handle/Filter Cover first, remove the filter, rinse it with warm
water and allow it to dry before reinstalling.
IMPORTANT!
Your heater is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
