OPERATION Figure 1
-
Carefully remove the Heater from the plastic bag and the carton.
-
Place the Heater on a firm and level surface.
Plastic or rubber tabs, like the feet on this unit, may stick to furniture surfaces and/or hardwood floors. The unit may leave a residue that could darken, stain or leave permanent blemishes on the finish of certain furniture surfaces, including wood surfaces, and/or hardwood floors. -
Plug the cord set into a 120-volt outlet. Be sure that the plug fits tightly into the outlet.
When plugs fit loosely into receptacles, they may slip partially or completely out of the receptacle with only the slight movement of the attached cord. Receptacles in this condition may overheat and pose a serious fire hazard; if covered by a curtain or drape, the fire hazard is even greater. -
When the Heater is initially plugged in, there will be a ‘beep’, indicating that there is the power to the unit. The power light will remain lit until the Heater is unplugged from the outlet.
-
Turn the Heater ON by pressing the Power Button.
-
When initially turned on, the Heater will be in High heat (1500 Watts) on Max. (The High light will be steady and the Max light will be blinking).
-
Press the Power Button once and the Heater will be in Low Heat, indicated by the steady light beside Low. The MAX light will be blinking.
-
Pressing the Power Button a third time will turn the Heater OFF.
-
Oscillation Function
Pressing the Oscillation Button (OSC) will allow the Heater to oscillate back and forth. To stop the oscillation, press the Oscillation Button (OSC) once again. The oscillation function will stop if the temperature function is in use and the heater turns off because the room has reached the desired temperature. The oscillation function will resume when the Heater turns back on. -
Temperature Function
To set the room at a specific temperature, press the Temperature Button to the desired setting. The light under the chosen temperature will continue to blink until the room reaches the desired temperature. For increased efficiency, the Temperature Function will only run on High heat. When set on MAX, the Heater will run continuously. -
Timer Function
The Timer Function may be activated when the Heater display is in any speed or temperature. This function allows you to set the length of time the Heater will run before turning itself off, from 1 hour to 7 hours. Pressing the Timer Button will increase the length of time, in combinations of 1, 2, and 4 hours. Continuously pressing the button will result in the timer being set for 7 hours. The Heater will turn off when the set time has elapsed. The unit can be turned back on by pressing the Power Button.
SAFETY FEATURE
- A thermal overload protector is built in to prevent overheating.
- If an overheating temperature is reached, the Heater will automatically shut off. It can only resume operation when the user resets the unit.
To Reset Heater:
- Unplug the Heater and wait 10 minutes for the Heater to cool down.
- After the Heater has cooled down, plug the unit into a 120V~ electrical outlet and follow the operation instructions described in this manual.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
