- Keep it at least a few feet away from combustible materials like curtains, furniture, or bedding.
-
Unboxing and Assembly :

- Some models may require minor assembly, such as attaching the base or feet to the unit. If this is the case, follow the provided instructions to assemble it correctly.
-
Positioning the Heater :
- Place the heater upright on the floor in the desired location.
- Ensure it’s positioned vertically and sits securely on its base.
- Avoid placing it on uneven surfaces or high platforms where it could be more prone to tipping over.
-
Powering the Heater :
- Plug the heater into a suitable power outlet.
- Avoid using an extension cord, as this can be a fire hazard. If necessary, use a heavy-duty cord that can handle the power requirements of the heater.
-
Using the Safety Features :
- Familiarize yourself with the heater’s safety features, like the tip-over switch and overheat protection.
- Test these features if possible to ensure they’re functioning correctly.
-
Operating the Heater :
- Turn on the heater using the power button on the unit or the remote control.
- Adjust the settings as needed, using the digital display, remote control, or physical buttons on the heater.
-
Regular Checks :
- Regularly check that the heater is stable and that the air intake and outlet are not blocked.
- Regularly inspect for any signs of damage or malfunction.
Temperature Controls

- Heating Modes :
- High Heat (1500W) : A more powerful heating option for colder rooms or quicker heat-up times.
- Low Heat (1000W) : A less intense setting that maintains warmth while being energy-efficient.
- Fan-Only Mode : Circulates air within the room without heating, suitable for mild days or when a slight breeze is desired.
- ECO Mode : This energy-saving mode enables the heater to automatically adjust the heating output based on the ambient temperature, helping to reduce electricity consumption while maintaining comfort levels.
Safety Precautions
- Tip-over Safety Switch : The heater automatically shuts off if it gets tipped over beyond a 50° angle or lifted from the ground, which is critical in preventing potential fire hazards.
- Cool-touch Exterior : The outer casing remains cool to the touch even after the heater has been running for a while, reducing the risk of burns upon contact.
- Overheat Protection : Inbuilt sensors are likely included to detect any overheating within the unit. If the internal temperature exceeds safe levels, the heater will automatically turn off.
Troubleshooting
- The Heater Does Not Turn On:
- Check to make sure the heater is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Ensure that the power switch is turned on.
- Verify that the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
- If the heater has a safety switch, make sure it hasn’t been tripped by the heater being tipped over or moved.
- Heater Not Producing Heat:
- Confirm that the heater’s controls are set to heat and not just the fan mode.
- Increase the temperature setting to ensure it’s above the ambient room temperature.
- Check for any blockages in the heater’s intake or exhaust; remove any obstructions.
- Heater Turns Off Unexpectedly:
- The overheat protection feature may have been activated. Turn off the heater, unplug it, and allow it to cool down before restarting.
- If the tip-over switch is engaged due to an uneven surface or actual tipping, reposition the heater on a flat, stable surface.
- Insufficient Heat:
- Ensure the heater’s filter is clean and free of debris that could restrict airflow.
- Check the room size to make sure it is within the effective range of the heater’s output.
- Switch to a higher heat setting if you’re currently using a lower one.
- Remote Control Not Working:
- Replace the batteries in the remote control.
- Make sure there is a clear path between the remote and the heater’s sensor.
- Check if the remote sensor on the heater is blocked or dirty and clean it gently if needed.
- Odd Smell from Heater:
- If the heater is new, there may be a “burn-in” smell the first few times it’s used. This is often due to manufacturing residues and should dissipate after a few uses.
- If the smell persists, turn off the heater and check for foreign objects in the unit.
- Strange Noises:
- A buzzing or rattling noise may indicate a loose part. Ensure all accessible panels and components are securely fastened.
- A grinding noise may suggest something is caught in the heater’s fan blades.
- Heater’s Display Malfunctioning:
- Reset the heater by turning it off, unplugging it, waiting a few minutes, and then plugging it back in.
- Check if there’s a reset button or procedure specified in the user manual.
- 3D Flame Effect Not Working:
- Ensure that the feature hasn’t been turned off separately from the heating function.
- Adjust the settings using the remote or control panel to verify if the effect is set to on.
