If the room temperature is reached, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until you hear a click. The thermostat will keep the room temperature the same.
Never place objects on the heater, such as clothing or towels. Never use the heater in the bathroom or other wet areas. The air outlets of the heater can be very hot.
After use, unplug the heater from the grounded outlet and allow it to cool down.

- In the position denoted by the “I”, the heater will operate continuously.
- In the position denoted by the “O”, the heater will not operate.
