BASEBOARD MICATHERMIC HEATER
Micathermic is a new method of heating that utilizes technology from both convection
and reflective heat. The heater releases 80% reflective and 20% convection heat,
distributing heat consistently and more evenly throughout the room. The heater releases
healthy infrared heat, directly warming surrounding objects. As the surrounding objects
absorb heat, the air temperature rises.

Assembly Operation
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING HEATER!
Required tools:
phillips screwdriver
(not included)
Align the foot bases with the
bottom of the unit. Use the
included bolts to attach the foot
bases to the heater body as
shown in the diagram.
1. Ensure that the Temperature
Control Knob is at “OFF”
position. [Fig 1]
2. Plug the power cord into a
suitable electrical outlet.
[Rated not less than 115 volt]
3. Turn the Temperature Control
Knob clockwise until the Light
Indicator turns on [Fig 2]. At this
moment, the Temperature
Control will start working.
Note: The Light Indicator will
turn off when the room reaches
the desired temperature. After a
while, as the room temperature
falls, the heater will turn on
again and release heat until the
room temperature rises to the
desired temperature. Desired
room temperature is maintained
automatically by this procedure.
You can adjust the temperature
control knob to increase or
decrease the room temperature as
desired by turning in a clockwise
or counter-clockwise direction as
shown in the figure.

Important Safeguards
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING HEATER!
4. To obtain a desirable
temperature, there is an area
indicated on the Temperature
Control Knob known as the
“Comfortable Zone.” You
can adjust the knob to select a
temperature within this range.
5. Anti-Freeze Setting
This setting keeps the
temperature of the
surrounding area above
freezing to prevent pipes
from breaking. To do this,
simply plug in the heater and
turn the Temperature Control
Knob to the “Snowflake”
position. The heater will
automatically turn on when
the ambient temperature
drops below 41°F.
6. Overheat Safety Protection
The heater comes equipped
with overheat safety
protection, so it can detect if
it is overheating and will
automatically shut off. When
the unit temperature falls
again, power will be resumed.
To avoid overheating and
potential risk of fire, DO
NOT cover the heater.
¾The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surface. Use handles when moving this heater.
Keep combustible materials, such as drapery and other furnishings, at least 3
feet [0.9m] from the front of the heater and away from the sides and rear.
¾Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or
invalids, or when the heater is left operating or unattended.
¾Do not use outdoor. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water container.
¾This heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas
where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
¾Do 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.
¾To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Do not operate this appliance on soft surfaces because the inlet openings can be
blocked.
¾Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect heater, turn controls to
off, then remove plug from outlet.
¾Avoid using an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and
cause a risk of fire.
¾Do not run cord under carpet and do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners,
or the like. Place the cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
¾The heater must not be located immediately below an outlet.
¾Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug, after the heater
malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If the heater is
damaged, it must be serviced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified
service agent in order to ensure safety.
¾Connect the heater to properly grounded outlets only.
¾Use 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.
¾Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer or any other device that
switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is
covered or positioned incorrectly.

WARNING: This heater has a grounded three pronged plug intended to fit
into a three slot outlet. (A) An adapter is available for connecting three
pronged plugs into two slot outlets. (B) When doing so, the green grounding
tab extending from the adapter must be fastened under the wall plate’s
mounting screw. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot outlet is
available.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE GROUNDED
PLUG.
Cleaning
¾Before cleaning, turn off the heater, unplug the power cord and allow the
heater to cool.
¾Do not immerse power cord and plug or heater in water or other liquid or pour
water or other liquid over the heater.
