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. HEATER CONNECTION:
Plug heater directly
into 120 volt A.C., 60 Hz 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.
TURNING HEATER ON: To start the heater, turn the
On/Off Power Level/Fan Dial from the OFF position to
the 1300 or 1500 watt 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 LEVEL SWITCH: This heater has two heat
settings: 1300 and 1500 watts. Use the higher setting
(1500 watt) to raise the room temperature quickly.
When the desired temperature is reached use the
lower 1300 watt 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
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 OFF: Turn the On/Off Power Level/Fan Dial
to the OFF position before unplugging or plugging in
the heater. Heater should be unplugged when not in
use. To disconnect heater, turn controls to OFF , then
remove plug from outlet.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Before initial use some assembly is required. With a
Phillips screwdriver, attach metal handle to heater
body using screws provided as shown in the photo.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES
This heater includes a visual alarm to warn that parts
of the heater are getting excessively hot. If the
caution light comes on, immediately turn the heater
off and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the
heater that may cause high temperatures. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE CAUTION LIGHT
ON. The power indicator light, located near the power
control, lights whenever the heater is turned on.
The
heater is equipped
with an automatic overheat
protection device located inside the body of the
heater. If the heater grill 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 then you may
plug the heater in and restart. Be sure that the heater
is on a smooth level surface with no obstructions. The
heater is also equipped with a safety tip-over switch
to turn power off to the heater when the heater tips
over. To resume heater functions simply stand heater
upright.
