OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY FEATURES
Tip-Over Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a shut-off safety feature. If the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will automatically shut the heater off. When the heater is returned to an upright position, the heater will reset. To continue operation, turn on the heater using the supplied remote control or the control panel on the heater.

Overheat Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with an overheat safety feature. When the heater’s internal components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheating and possible fi re, the heater will automatically shut off.

A thermal overload protector is built in to prevent overheating. When an “overheat” temperature
is reached, the heater will automatically shut off. The operation can only resume when the user resets the heater.

To reset the heater, ensure the power is turned off, unplug the unit and wait 15 to 20 minutes for the internal components to cool down.
Follow the instructions for use to return the heater to normal functioning.

WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fi t between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualifi ed electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.
