When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the
following:
• Read all instructions before using the heater.
• Use this heater only as described in the following
instructions. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury
to persons.
• Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet or
receptacle.
• Never use with an extension cord or power strip.
• Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord
or plug, after the heater malfunctions or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater
or contact Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord
with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings. Do not
route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange
cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be
tripped over.
• Always unplug heater when not in use.
• To disconnect, rotate thermostat to the LO set point
or flip ON-OFF switch to off. Then, grip plug (not
cord) and pull from outlet.
• A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside.
Do not use in areas where gasoline or flammable
liquids are used or stored.
• This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not
let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible
materials away from heater.
• 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.
• Do 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.

IMPORTANT! This heater is a major electrical
appliance and requires adequate electrical
power. The outlet in use must be a 120 volt
circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp fuse or
circuit breaker. No other major electrical
appliance should be operated in the same
circuit as the heater.
Use care when choosing the location and
using the heater. Do not block the heater in
any way to prevent air to flow freely through
the heater. Keeping the heater clean will also
improve the efficiency and prevent
overheating. See Maintenance on page 3 for
cleaning information.
WARNING! The heater plug must fit tightly into
outlet. A loose fitting or worn outlet may cause
plug connection to heat, damage plug or
outlet and cause a fire. If outlet is loose or worn,
discontinue using heater until the outlet can
be replaced. Heater must be properly installed
before operation.
NOTE: A new smell coming from heater may be
detected during initial use. Operate heater on
highest setting for at least one hour to minimize
the new smell. Heater may not heat up
immediately because of the tubular element
design. Heater will take a few minutes before
warmth will be felt.
NOTE: Heater has automatic-resetting thermal
safety switch that will disconnect power to
the heating element should the heater be
placed into an abnormal condition (such as a
blockage) to prevent a fire. When the heater
cools, the safety switch will reset allowing the
heater to return to normal operation.
1. Heater must be properly installed before operation.
2. The heater is provided with a POSITIVE OFF
thermostat. In addition to the thermostat, the heater
has a LO/HI heat selection switch.
3. Plug heater power supply into 120 volt outlet.
4. Move heat selection switch to the left position for LO
(1000 watts) or to the right for HI (1500 watts).
5. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until it stops.
6. Allow heater to operate normally until the room
reaches desired temperature. Rotate thermostat
knob counterclockwise until a click is heard.
Thermostat will automatically cycle heater on
and off as needed to maintain desired room
temperature.
NOTE: This heater is designed to slowly radiate
gentle, even heat. It may take several hours to
reach the desired temperature.
7. To adjust temperature, rotating the thermostat
knob clockwise will increase the heater output and
rotating the thermostat knob counterclockwise will
decrease output. The numbers on the thermostat
knob are for reference only and help in setting and
adjusting the heater to desired temperature.
8. To turn heater off, rotate thermostat knob
counterclockwise until it stops. Always unplug heater
when not in use.

MAINTENANCE
For efficient and safe operation and to extend the life
of the heater, it should be cleaned and inspected for
damage annually, preferably at the beginning of the
heater season, or more often in dirty environments.
Other than cleaning, the heater requires no other
preventative maintenance.
WARNING! To prevent a possible electric shock,
always unplug heater from outlet before
cleaning or servicing. Allow heater to cool
before cleaning to prevent a possible burn.
1. Heater cabinet may be cleaned using a damp
cloth to remove dust that may have accumulated
on surfaces. Do not use harsh cleaners and waxes
on surfaces, as these could damage or discolor the
finish.
2. A vacuum cleaner or compressed air may be used
to remove dust and lint accumulated inside heater
around element fins.
CAUTION! Fins are sharp and may cause cuts.
Avoid contact.
3. After cleaning and servicing, reassemble by
replacing any hardware removed and check unit to
make sure it operates properly.
