USAGE:

HEATER OPERATION: Always operate the heater in  the upright position following all instructions and recommendations listed in this manual HEATER
LOCATION: Place the heater in the area of the room that is coldest. HEATER CONNECTION: Plug heater directly into 120 volt A.C., 60 Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug or heater. NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.
TURNING HEATER ON : To start the heater, turn the On/Off Power Level/Fan Dial from the OFF position to the 1300 or 1500 watt setting. Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwise to the HIGH THERMOSTAT position as described below. (During the heaters initial use, you may experience a  slight odor or smoking. This is the result of the heating element lubrication “burning off”. This is normal and will go away after a few minutes of use.)

POWER LEVEL SWITCH: This heater has two heat settings: 1300 and 1500 watts. Use the higher setting (1500 watt) to raise the room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is reached use the lower 1300 watt setting. It is usually sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature.
SETTING THERMOSTAT: After heater has been turned on and the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter- clockwise until the heater shuts off (you should hear a faint“click”). By leaving the thermostat at this setting it will automatically maintain this temperature. To lowertemperature, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise (towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise (towards theHIGH position).
TURNING OFF : Turn the On/Off Power Level/Fan Dial to the OFF position before unplugging or plugging in the heater. Heater should be  unplugged when not in use. To disconnect heater, turn controls to OFF , then remove plug from outlet.
