IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when unit is first operated. Do not be
alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell on the heating coil during the manufacturing
process. It will quickly evaporate and should not re-occur.
Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this
operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on
for the first time. Do not be alarmed.
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS
OR PROPERTY, 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. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least
3 ft. (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and
rear. Ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and rear of heater to
adjacent walls. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
3. Extreme caution and reasonable supervision is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children, invalids or pets and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet.
Never yank on cord.
5. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to “OFF”, then remove the plug from outlet.
6. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. 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.
9. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Do
not route cord
under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped
over. Route the cord so that it will not be walked on, or pinched by furniture.
10.Connect to properly grounded outlets only. Check heater voltage and amperage on the back of
the heater to make sure it agrees with the electric service supplied.
11.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
12. 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.
13.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.

14.This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. Be sure to use a dedicated 240VAC, 30A circuit
for the heater.
15.It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which
becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical
outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater.
Plugging heater into a worn outlet/ receptacle may result in overheating of the power cord or
fire.
16.Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure floor surface to eliminate the potential of tipping it
over.
17.Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate receptacle. Please remember that
receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of
overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Should this occur, do not use the
receptacle if deteriorated. CALL your electrician.
18.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during
transportation.
19.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between
one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with
a vacuum cleaner.
20.When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight odor which is normal
with new electrical appliances. Allow odor to dissipate by running appliance at full power for
about ten minutes. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated
during this operation. This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. To prevent overloading a
circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
21.Do not run in locations when the heater will be left unattended for long periods of time. (For
example - in an unoccupied summer cottage).
22.Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.
23. Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or
relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PET OWNERS WARNING:
The health of some small pets including birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes produced
during the first-time use of many appliances. These fumes are not harmful to humans but we
recommended that you do not use your heater around birds and small pets during its initial use
until the manufacturing corrosion coatings burn off.

THIS HEATER IS FOR USE ON THE FLOOR ONLY.
Prior to operating the heater, ensure the electrical receptacle is of the configuration and
capacity appropriate for the heater. See receptacle configuration in OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS. This heater is for use on 240 volts. The cord has a plug as shown in #6. No
adapter is available for this blade configuration, and none should be used. The type of

YOUR HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH A THERMOSTAT:
1. Turn the unit on by turning the thermostat dial away from the OFF position.
2. For faster heat up or to increase the heat output, turn the Thermostat Control knob all the way
to the right [MAX]. The thermostat function controls the temperature output. To decrease the
heat output, turn the knob counter clockwise.
3. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat Control knob
counter clockwise until you hear a “click”. This sets the heater to cycle ON/OFF to maintain the
desired heating temperature for energy efficiency.
4. To completely shut unit OFF, turn the thermostat dial to the OFF position and unplug the
heater.
