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 AC, 60Hz 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.

POWER/CAUTION LIGHTS
This heater is equipped with Power and Caution Lights. The power light will illuminate when the unit is plugged in. The Caution Light will illuminate when the unit overheats. When the Caution Light is illuminated, turn off and unplug the heater. Follow the “Important Safety Features” located in this manual.

TURNING HEATER ON
To start the heater, turn the On/Off Power Level Control from the OFF posi tion to the LOW or HIGH setting. Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwiseto 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 INDICATOR
The Power Indicator Light will illuminate when the heater or fan is turned on.

POWER CONTROL DIAL
This heater has two heat settings: High and Low. Use the higher setting (1500 watt) to raise the room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is reached use the Low 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 lower temperature, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise (towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise (towards the HIGH position).

TO OPERATE FAN ONLY
Turn the On/Off Power Level Control dial to the Fan setting. Turn thermostat fully clockwise so the fan will run continuously

TURNING OFF
Turn the center dial to the OFF position before unplugging or plugging in the heater. Heater should be unplugged when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES
The power indicator light, located near the control panel, lights whenever the heater or fan is turned on. The heater is equipped with an automatic overheat protection device located inside the body of the heater. If the heater grille is obstructed, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat protection device will turn the heater off. To reset the heater, simply turn power off and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until it cools down, and then you may plug the heater in and restart. Be sure that the heater is on a smooth level surface with no obstructions.
