SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY

Tools required: #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver (not included).
Carefully remove the Heater from the bag and the carton. For ease of assembly, lay the Heater down so that the front grill and control panel are facing up.

1. Assemble the Base by interlocking the Bosses into the Boss Holes.
2. Secure the Base halves with (4) M4 x 13mm Screws. Thread the Power Supply Cord through the large hole in the Base Assembly.
3. Align the Base Assembly with the Column Support Assembly. Attach the Base Assembly to the Column Support Assembly with (4) M5 X 13mm Screws. Gently pull any excess slack of the Power Supply Cord and place it in the Cord Channel of the Base Assembly.

OPERATION

1. Place the Heater on a firm, 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.
2. 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.
3. When the Heater is initially plugged in, there will be a “beep” and the Power Light will come on indicating that there is power to the unit. The Power Light will remain lit until the Heater is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
4. Turn the Heater ON by pressing the Power Button ( ).
5. When initially turned on, the Heater will display the current room temperature in ° Fahrenheit. Press the buttons at the same time to change the display to ° Celsius. Press the same two buttons together again to change the display back to ° Fahrenheit.
6. Upon turning the Heater on, the unit will be in HIGH heat ( ) (1500 Watts) and will display the current room temperature. (Figure 3)
7. Press the ( ) button for LOW heat ( ).
8. To turn the Heater OFF, press the Power Button ( ) and unplug the Heater from the electrical outlet. 

OSCILLATION (Figure 4)

Pressing the Oscillation Button ( ) will allow the top air director of the Heater to oscillate back and forth. Press it once for 90° oscillation; press it a second time for 170° oscillation; press it a third time for full 360° oscillation. When the Oscillation Button is pressed a fourth time, the display will blink and return to the home position. When the Heater is in Automatic Temperature Control, the oscillation function will stop when the set temperature is reached and resume when the Heater turns back on.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The automatic temperature function will only operate on “High” heat ( ). You cannot set the temperature automatically when the unit is in low heat mode.

1. To set the room at a specific temperature press the  buttons to the desired temperature. The display will now reflect the ( ) and the temperature will be flashing. The Heater is now in Auto Temperature Mode.
2. When you reach the temperature at which you want to set the unit, the set temperature will flash several times and then the display will return to indicate the current room temperature and will gradually change as the room temperature changes. NOTE: the temperature display does not indicate the temperature of the heated air being emitted by the heater.
3. Once the room temperature reaches 2 degrees above the set temperature, the Heater will shut off. Once the room temperature reaches 1 degree below the set temperature, the Heater will turn back on and continue to cycle off and on to maintain the set temperature.
4. This function will cancel if the ( ) button is pressed. The Heater will now be in High heat ( ) and run continuously. Automatic air sampling feature: Functions only when the heater is set in the automatic mode. It is normal for the heater fan to run for approximately 15 seconds after the heater has reached the set temperature. From this point on, the heater fan will turn on every 10 minutes for 10 seconds until the room requires additional heat.
