SAFETY FEATURES

Tip-Over Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety feature. Once the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored 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 a overheat safety feature. When the heaters internal components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheat and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off. The heater will automatically reset itself once the internal temperature decreases to acceptable levels.
Polarized Plug
Warning: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.

WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit 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 qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROL PANEL & REMOTE OPERATION

Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120V 60Hz power outlet. Only operate heater in upright position with caster wheels attached.
Turn the heater on by pressing the On/Off button on the control panel or the supplied remote control.
Select a heat setting: On the control panel, press the MODE button to toggle between the two heat settings; LOW (1000W) or HIGH (1500W) . When using the remote control press the HIGH or LOW buttons to select the preferred power setting.
Adjust the thermostat by pressing the TEMPERATURE SELECT buttons (▲ or ▼) on the control panel or remote control. The digital readout will display the selected temperature.
Once you have chosen the desired temperature, the heater will remain on until the room temperature increases to the temperature on the digital display. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the desired room temperature.
This heater is equipped with a 12-hour automatic shut-off timer. To activate the timer, press the TIMER button on the control panel or remote control. Each press of the timer button will increase the heater operating time by one hour. The digital readout will display the number of hours you have selected. To turn off the timer, simply press the TIMER button until the digital readout displays your current selected temperature. Once you have selected a shut off time, the heater will operate for the selected time, then automatically shut off.
The indication lights on the control panel communicate how the heater is operating. The TIMER light will turn-on when the timer is selected. When HIGH, LOW modes are selected, the corresponding lights will turn on accordingly.
Unplug the heater when not in use.

OPTIMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
To get the most out of your Soleus Air Micathermic heater, follow these helpful hints:

All electric heaters are limited to maximum of 1500 watts (per UL and ETL requirements). Due to this limitation all electric heaters can heat approximately 150 square feet. Micathermic heaters fit in this category, but they are able to provide a more comfortable and consistent heat than other heating technologies.
For optimal performance, place the heater in a room and close all windows and doors. This will confine the heat to the area that needs it most.
To save energy and in turn save money in the winter, place the heater in a room or area that needs extra heat instead of raising the thermostat on your central heating system. This heater will function very well as an additional heating source and can easily maintain the temperature in most rooms and attached bathrooms. There is no need to increase the heat in the entire house when you only need comfort in the room in which you are currently located.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the unit and let it cool completely.
To keep the heater clean, the outer shell may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a mild detergent if necessary. After cleaning, dry the unit with a soft cloth. CAUTION: DO NOT let liquid enter the heater.
DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive powders, furniture polish, or rough brushes to clean the heater. This may cause damage or deterioration to the surface of the heater.
DO NOT immerse the heater in water.
Wait until the unit is completely dry before use.

STORAGE
Store the heater in a cool, dry location when not in use. If available, use the retail packaging and pack up the heater to prevent dust from collecting on and inside the heater.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the heater will not operate, please check the following before seeking repair of service:

Check if the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, if not, plug in.
Check if electricity to the main fuse is working.
Check if the heater is set to ON by confirming the light on the control panel is lit. If not, press the POWER button to turn on the unit.
Check if the heater is on a level surface. If the tip-over safety mechanism inside the heater is engaged the heater will not run.
The room temperature has reached the temperature on the digital display of the heater. Increase the temperature on the display so the heater will continue operation or wait for the room temperature to drop below the set temperature on the heater.
