ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the heater body, two wheelbases, and two U-shaped connecting screws with
wing nuts from the box. Remove the packaging materials and keep for future storage.
2. Be certain the heater is unplugged and the controls are set to off. Set the heater on the
floor upside down. The heater may make some noise as the liquid settles.
3. Remove the wing nuts from the U-shaped connecting screws. Place one of the U-shaped
connecting screws between the front two fins of the heater and over the joint so that the
threads on the screw project upward.

4. Insert the L-shaped end of the screw through one of the holes in the wheelbase. Slide the
threaded end through the other hole in the wheelbase.
5. Fasten the wing nut onto the screw securely.
6. Place the other U-shaped connecting screw between the back two fins of the heater and
repeat above procedure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 115V 60Hz power outlet. Only
operate heater in upright position with caster wheels attached. The heater features two power
switches with indicator lights and a thermostat control.
1. Select a heat setting.
For LOW heat (600W), press the switch on the left (I).
For MEDIUM heat (900W), press the switch on the right (II).
For HIGH heat (1500W), press both switches (I and II).
2. Turn the thermostat control clockwise as far as it will go. The indicator light on the
selected power switch will light.
3. Leave the thermostat control at its maximum setting until the desired temperature is
reached. Carefully lower the thermostat control by turning counter-clockwise until the
heater stops operating. The indicator light will shut off.
4. Leave thermostat control at this position. The heater will automatically cycle on and off
to maintain the chosen room temperature. The indicator lights will also turn and off to
indicate when the heater is operating.
5. Unplug the heater when not in use.
NOTE: For safety, if the heater’s internal temperature rises above a certain point, the heater
is designed to automatically shut off. Please wait about 20 minutes while the temperature of
the heater lowers, then heater will begin to work automatically.
WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit
between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting
the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for
damage.

MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the unit and let it cool completely.
2. To keep the heater clean, the outer shell may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. You
may use a mild detergent if necessary. After cleaning, dry the unit with a soft cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT let liquid enter the heater.
3. DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive powders, furniture polish, or rough brushes to
clean the heater. This may cause damage or deterioration to the surface of the heater.
4. DO NOT immerse the heater in water.
5. Wait until the unit is completely dry before use.

Store the heater in a cool, dry location when not in use. To prevent dust and dirt build-up, use the
original packaging to repack the unit.
