PRODUCTASSEMBLY

Before initial use some assembly is required. Attach casters to heater body using components provided as shown below.

Carefully remove your heater from the box. (Please SAVE the Box for off season storage.) Follow assembly instructions below.
To prevent damage to the paint finish, place the radiator upside-down on a scratch-free and stable surface (see Fig.1 and Example 1. below). Note in this position the control panel will be upside down.
Attach one set of the wheel and baseplate assembly to the heater by inserting the U-shaped bolt between the last two fins of the radiator, and then securely fasten the wheel and baseplate assembly onto the heater by screwing the wing nut onto the Ushaped bolt (see Fig 2-4).
Attach the other set of the wheel and baseplate assembly at the bottom of the control panel, and then securely fasten the said assembly onto the heater with the two screws (see Fig 5).

WARNING: Only operate the radiator in the normal upright position with wheel and baseplate attached. The wheelbases are placed at the bottom; the control panel is upwards. Any other positions can result in hazardous situations. If you are in any doubt about installing this product, please contact customer service.
IMPORTANT: Please fit the wheel and baseplate assemblies as shown below. Other positions may affect the stability of the unit.

Example 1. Upside Down

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR HEATER IN THIS POSITION, FOR CORRECT OPERATING POSITION REFER TO EXAMPLE 2 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

LOCATION OF HEATER

Place the heater only on a firm level surface right side UP, free from obstructions and at least 3 ft. away from any wall or other objects such as curtains, plants, etc. (see Example 2.)
Make sure the heater is switched OFF before plugging the heater into the outlet. Connect to properly grounded outlets only. Note: The power cord has a polarized plug (with one blade wider than the other) that will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If it does not insert easily try, reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high wattage appliances in the same outlet.

CAUTION: The heater is hot when in use, DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER FINS (H)!

HOW TO USE YOUR HEATER

Place the product in an upright position on a flat, steady, stable, heat-resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 1 meter (40 inches). Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
Turn the thermostat knob (B) counterclockwise to the minimum position and set the power switch knob to “0” for off. The heater is suitable for operation on an A.C. electricity supply having the same voltage as that show on its rating label. Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
Turn the heat output knob (C) clockwise from “0” to “•” (Minimum heating), “••” (Medium heating) or “•••” (Maximum heating).
Turn the thermostat knob (B)clockwise to maximum position. To adjust the room temperature, turn the thermostat clockwise to raise the temperature, or counterclockwise to lower it. The heater will attempt to keep the room temperature at the desired level.
To turn off the heater, set the heat output knob (C) to “0” position. Unplug the product from the electrical outlet when it is left unattended or is not in use.

Note: This radiator heater is oil filled and will cool down slowly after the power is shut off. Allow the radiator heater to cool prior to any movement. Only use the built-in carry handle to move the heater.

POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: The power indicator light will illuminate when a unit is plugged into an outlet.

OVERHEAT SAFETY FEATURE:

This heater is equipped with an automatic overheat protection device. If the heater grill is obstructed, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat device will turn the heater off. To reset the heater, simply turn off the power and unplug the heater, remove any obstructions, check the cord and the plug for damage. Leave unplugged for 30 minutes until it cools completely. Plug unit back in and switch it on. If the heater still does not turn on, please contact customer service.

TIP-OVER SAFETY FEATURE

This heater is equipped with a safety tip-over device. Once the heater is tipped over, an external switch located on the bottom of the heater will automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset.

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.

NEVER cover the heater or lay objects on the heater while in operation, as this may cause fire or injury.
