English
WARNING: Risk to Children and Impaired Persons
- Extreme caution is required during the installation, operation, cleaning
and maintenance of this product by or around children 12 years of
age and younger and anyone with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities, and whenever the heater is left operating and
unattended. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance, its parts and packaging material.
INSTALLATION WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons, observe the following:
- 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.
- Do not use this heater in an RV, boat or during any application where
battery power is converted to AC power.
- Place this product at least 3 feet away on all sides from electrical
outlets, furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, curtains and other
objects that may cause or catch on fire. Do not place the heater near
a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed
and be ignited by the heater.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not place the heater on soft surfaces, like
a bed, where air intakes or exhaust can be blocked in any manner.
- No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug, packaging,
etc.) should be placed near furnaces, fireplaces, stoves or other high
temperature heat sources.
- Do not use in a window, on an uneven or unstable surface, or near
water. Operate only in the upright position.
- This appliance, power supply, power cord and plug cannot come

6English
into contact with water. Do not use this product on wet surfaces. Do
not use this product in a bathtub or shower or position where it may
fall into a bathtub, shower, laundry, swimming pool or other water
container. Do not use in a window, outdoors, or exposed to weather or
elements.
- Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route under furniture or
appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not
be tripped over. The cord should not hang over edges of counters or
be placed where it can be crimped or closed in doors. Place appliance
near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be unplugged
quickly during an emergency.
- Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.
SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons, observe the following:
- 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.
- Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation.
Always unplug heater when not in use. Sharper Image does not
recommend unattended and unsupervised use of this heater.
- This heater is HOT when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in

7
English
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use
with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that
all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is
compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
- To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and electric shock, do not
operate with a solid state speed device, such as a dimmer control
switch. Do not use this heater with a timer designed to automatically
turn the unit on or off, or on a circuit that is regulated by a switch,
as this may accidentally disable the heater’s thermal cutout safety
feature.
- Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another high
energy use product, such as a vacuum cleaner, blender, variable
speed fan or circular saw is not advised.
- Risk of fire. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or
after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Discard heater or return to an authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
- Do not sit or stand on product.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the
power cord.
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or

8English
damage the heater.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting outlet
can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure plug fits tight in
the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and outlet
are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet replaced by
a qualified electrician.
- Note: Heaters draw more current than other small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with
the other appliances.
- Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such as: warm outlet
coverplates, sparks when plugging in or operating, lights flickering/
dimming during operation. Immediately turn off and unplug the
appliance if any such problems are noticed. Contact a qualified
electrician to investigate possible causes before operating the
appliance again.
- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when not in
use, use the product controls to turn off the power and then unplug.
To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. Also, power
off and unplug if the product will be left unattended for an extended
period of time or during electrical storms.
- If your heater suddenly stops working:
• This heater is equipped with a thermal cutout safety feature
designed to automatically shut off when overheating is detected.
See the “RESET HEATER” instructions in this guide to determine how
to check and reset the heater.
• If the heater and other electrical products suddenly stop working at
the same time, your home circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped

9
English
due to an overload of power. Consider only running your heater on
the “low” setting, only running one heater at once and unplugging
all other electrical products while running the heater, and/or hiring
an electrician to install an additional circuit to your home’s electrical
system.

English
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular
cleaning. Cleaning the outside of the heater is recommended on a weekly basis.
If service is required, return your heater to Sharper Image. (See WARRANTY for
instructions.)
NOTE: Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.
1. Unplug heater before cleaning.
2. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any
accumulated dust off Air Inlets on the side of heater.
TIP: You should periodically blow out the heater with pressurized air to keep heat
element and motor clear of dust, hair and debris that can build up inside the
heater as it moves air during use. This also eliminates unwanted odors caused by
accumulation of these particles inside the unit.
3. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any
accumulated dust off Front Outlet Grille.
4. Wipe down entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.
CLEANING

14 English
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to
store your heater. To ensure long life of the product, it is recommended to store
your heater by following these instructions:
TIP: Cleaning is recommended before and after storage.
1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents heater from
accumulating dust over time.
3. Store heater in a cool and dry location.
Before using after storage, check the heater for visible damage. DO NOT USE THIS
HEATER if there is evidence of damage. If any damage is found, contact Consumer
Service.
STORAGE

15
English
Your heater has a multilevel safety shut-off system designed to prevent
overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or outlet are blocked. If
this happens, the safety shut-off system cuts power to the heater and must cool
down before normal operation can resume.
1. Remove any obstructions.
2. Wait 5-10 minutes, allowing heater to cool down.
3. Press the power button ( ). Your Sharper Image Heater should now function
normally.
If the heater and other electrical products suddenly stop working at the same
time, your home circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped due to an overload of
power. Consider only running your heater on the “low” setting, only running one
heater at once and unplugging all other electrical products while running the
heater, and/or hiring an electrician to install an additional circuit to your home’s
electrical system.
NOTE: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it will
not reset after following the above procedure, call Sharper Image Consumer
Services Department toll-free at 833-800-8669.
