FLAT PANEL MICATHERMIC HEATER
Introduction
Micathermic heat utilizes technology from both convection and reflective heat. The
heater releases 80% convection and 20% reflective heat, distributing heat consistently
and more evenly throughout the room. The heater radiates heat to warm surrounding
objects, increasing the room temperature. As the surrounding objects absorb heat, the air
temperature rises.
Nowadays, saving energy is very important. Our heater features an ECO function
specifically designed for this reason. When the room temperature reaches the desired
temperature, one-third of energy will be cut-off automatically.

Important Safeguards
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING 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 its sides and rear.
¾Do not leave the heater unattended while it is in operation.
¾Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or
pets, or when the heater is left operating or unattended.
¾Do not use outdoors. 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. This may cause electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.
¾To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
¾Do not operate this appliance on soft surfaces. The air inlet openings can
become blocked.
¾Avoid using an extension cord. The extension cord may overheat and cause a
risk of fire. If an extension cord must be used, the conductor wire inside the cord
must be No.14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
¾Do not run cord under carpet, and do not cover the cord with throw rugs,
runners, or the like. Place the cord away from traffic areas where it will not be
tripped over.
¾The heater must not be placed 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 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 is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). The plug is intended to fit into a power outlet only one way, with the wide blade
in the wide slot. This is a safety feature, if you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.

Operation
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING HEATER!
1. Make sure the Temperature
Control Knob is at the “DOT”
position. [Fig 1]
Make sure the power switch is at
the off position.
[Fig 2]
2. Plug the power cord into a
suitable electrical outlet.
[Rated not less than 115 volt].
3. Turn the power switch to the
“ON” position. Adjust the
Temperature Control Knob
clockwise until the Red Light
Indicator turns on [Fig 2]. The
Temperature Control should
begin.
Note: The Red 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 the knob
clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction as shown in Fig 2.

4. Comfortable Zone
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. Economic Energy Saving
Function (ECO)
When the room temperature
reaches a certain point, the ECO
Green Light will switch on,
indicating that one-third of the
power has been cut-off
automatically to save energy.
[our 1500 Watt heater will work
on 1000 Watts]
7. 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.

10
Cleaning
¾Before cleaning, turn off the heater, unplug the power cord and allow the heater
to cool.
¾Do not immerse the power cord, plug or heater in water or other liquid or pour
water or other liquid over the heater.
¾Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and lint from the metal grille of the heater.
¾Wipe the heater with a dry cloth to remove dust and a damp cloth [not wet] to
clean off stains.
¾Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on the
body of the heater, as these can damage the finish.
Storage
¾Store the heater in a cool dry location.
¾To prevent dust and dirt build up, use the old packaging to repack the unit.
