SAFETY FEATURES
Tip-Over Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a shut-off 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, press the power button on the control panel or remote
control.
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 fire, the heater will automatically shut off.
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.
This heater is equipped with an ALCI plug. Ensure you check the ALCI safety
feature every time you use your machine. The purpose of this test is to make
sure the safety device is working.
To test: plug in the machine and press the ‘Test’ button. The reset button
will ‘click’ and pop out. If running, the machine will stop working. To reset
the ALCI, unplug and press the ‘Reset’ button and plug back in.
Electrical Connection
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit outlet is required. Preferably, the heater
will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may
cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in
operation.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the current rating of the current tap. Always plug
heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension
cord or relocatable power tap Clearance To Combustables (outlet/power strip).
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furniture and other combustibles at least 3
feet (0.914m) from the front of the heater and away from the sides and top.

This remote control uses one CR2025 battery (included) Instructions for
battery installation are on the Remote-Control battery compartment. Refer to
Figure 1 for battery removal procedure.
WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children. This
product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used lithium
button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe
internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always
completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away
from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

Operation Notes:
Please remember that with any type of heating process there are many
variables; size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many
doors/windows, how much bare concrete (which acts as a heat sink with any type
of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, etc. Therefore,
heating performance will vary in every environment.
Heating will vary based on how open your floor plan is and the sizes of the
rooms involved.
Rooms with little insulation will not retain the heat as efficiently and may
result in your heater running longer or more often.
It may take longer to heat a room with vaulted or cathedral ceilings
initially. Once the room has reached the desired temperature it will cycle on
and off accordingly.
This heater may be used in a basement or garage if it is finished with drywall
and carpet.
This heater cannot be moved while it is running. If moving heater, it must
first be turned to the off position and then moved once the fan has completely
turned off.
You may run heater and another appliance at the same time if they are not on
the same electrical circuit.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury. First turn the main power switch to the “OFF” position, wait for the fan to stop blowing to ensure the inside of the heater has been properly cooled. Then remove the electrical plug from the wall outlet.
- Turn the POWER OFF.

a single circuit. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician to
diagnose and repair
Heater airflow is diminished.| Air inlet on heater blocked.| Observe minimum
installation clearances on page 4 of manual.
