Do not be alarmed.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Be extremely cautious when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3′ (0.9 m) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug the heater when not in use.
5.  Do not operate the heater with a damaged plug, or if the heater has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar indoor locations. Never place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not cover the heater with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
9. To disconnect the heater, turn the control to OFF, then remove the unit from the outlet.
10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
12. Do not use it on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
13. Use heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or other damage to property.
14. Ensure the heater is plugged into a socket on a vertical wall when use, keep at least 8″ of most. reduced space to the bottom air inlet of the heater to allow for ventilation to avoid a risk of danger.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater’s plug to feel warm to the touch. A plug that becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging a heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating or fire.
17. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet. Never use an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
18. Check the heater plug connections. A loose-fitting outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure the plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using the heater and have the outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.
19. Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the other appliances.
20. Do not use cord extension sets, multiple socket outlets or adaptors to avoid a risk of danger. Plug only into a wall socket outlet.
21. Make sure no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to clean the appliance
22. Never leave the heater on while sleeping.

The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operation

1. Check there is no damage to the plug-in heater.
2. Plug the plug-in heater into a 120 volts AC outlet. Be sure 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 a slight movement of the unit. 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. To give power to the plug-in heater, press the on/off switch to the ‘on’ position, the LED display will turn on indicating power to the unit. The LED display will remain lit until the on/off switch is pressed to the ‘off ‘ position.

5. To turn the heater OFF, press the Power Button again. The unit will first turn off the heating elements, the fan will shut down 60 seconds later. Press the on/off switch, on the side, to completely power off the unit. Unplug the unit by pulling the plug from the electrical outlet only after the fan has stopped and the unit has cooled down.

This function allows you to set the length of time, from 0 hour to 12 hours, the heater will run before turning itself off. Pressing the Timer Button will increase the length of time by 1 hour each time the button is pressed. After the display reflects 12 hours, pressing the Timer Button once more will reset the heater to run continuously. The heater will turn off when the set time has elapsed.The unit can be turned back on by pressing the Power Button . Pressing the Timer Button to 0 hours will cancel the timer function.
Automatic Temperature Control (Figure 6)

1. To set the room at a specific temperature, press the + or – buttons.
   NOTE: The temperature display does not indicate the temperature of the heated air being emitted by the heater. The heater can only indicate the temperature you have set at point 1 above and may not reflect the actual room temperature.

2. Once the room temperature reaches 2 degrees above the set temperature, the heater will shut off. Once the room temperature reaches 2 degrees below the set temperature, the heater will turn back on and continue to cycle off and on to maintain the set temperature.

NOTE: It is normal for the heater “fan” to run for approximately 60 seconds when the heater shuts off after reaching the set temperature. To change the heat setting from high (HH) to low (LL), press the buttons on the unit at the same time.
