CAUTION:
- The heater must always be placed in an upright position on a horizontal surface. Never turn the heater upside down when in use as it could cause irreparable damage.
- The heater does not have a device to control the room temperature. Do not use the heater in small rooms occupied by persons incapable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
SETTING UP THE HEATER
- Make sure the heater is placed upright on a firm, level, heat resistant and non-combustible floor surface. Do not place the heater on a carpet or soft surface that may block the air inlets/ outlets and/or increase the chance of the heater tipping over.

-
Press the THERMOSTAT button (10) repeatedly to select the desired room temperature between 59°F and 90°F. The default setting is 68°F. The heater will stay on until the room has reached your set temperature. Then the heater will turn on and off to maintain the room at that level.
NOTE: The heater must be set to a temperature level that is at least a few degrees higher than the room temperature for the heating function to be activated. If the heater does not appear to be working, increase the temperature until the heating function turns on. -
Press the TIMER button (9) to set the heater to remain on for 1 to 12 hours. If you select 00 the timer function is off.

- For safety reasons, this heater is equipped with a tip-over sensor. This sensor automatically shuts down the heating element if the heater is not in an upright position while in operation. To resume normal operation, check the heater is cool enough to handle. Turn it upright again and it will continue to work.
- The heater has a built-in overheating protection mechanism. The safety mechanism will turn off the power if the heater overheats. Turn the ON/OFF switch (5) off and pull the plug from the wall socket. Wait 10 minutes for the heater to cool down. Remove the cause of overheating, such as excessive dust, and turn on the heater.
