USAGE

HEATER OPERATION:
Always operate the heater in the upright position following all instructions and recommendations listed in this manual.
HEATER LOCATION: Place the heater in the area of the room that is coldest. Do not locate against walls or behind drapes or furniture.
HEATER CONNECTION: Plug heater directly into 120 Volt AC, 60Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug or heater.
NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: This heater is equipped with a Power Indicator Light. The power light will illuminate when the unit is plugged in.
TURNING HEATER ON: To start the heater, turn the Power Control dial from the OFF position to the LOW or HIGH setting. Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwise to the HIGH THERMOSTAT position as described below. (During the heaters initial use, you may experience a slight odor or smoking. This is the result of the heating element lubrication “burning off”. This is normal and will go away after a few minutes of use.)

POWER CONTROL DIAL: This heater has two heat settings: High and Low. Use the higher setting (1500 watt) to raise the room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is reached use the Low setting. It is usually sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature.

SETTING THERMOSTAT: After heater has been turned on and the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter- clockwise until the heater shuts off (you should hear a faint “click”). By leaving the thermostat at this setting it will automatically maintain this temperature. To lower the temperature, rotate the knob further counter- clockwise (towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise (towards the HIGH position).
TURNING HEATER OFF: Turn the Power Control dial to the OFF position before unplugging or plugging in the heater. The heater should be unplugged when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES:
The power indicator light, located near the control panel, lights whenever the heater IS plugged in. The heater is equipped with an automatic overheat protection device located inside the body of the heater. If the heater grille is obstructed, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat protection device will turn the heater off. To reset the heater, simply turn power off and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until it cools down and you may plug in and restart the heater. Be sure that the heater is on a smooth level surface with no obstructions. The heater is also equipped tith a safety tip-over switch. This switch will shut the heater off when the heater is tipped over. It will reset when the heater is placed upright.
