AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH CERAMIC CONTROL
This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically-advanced, safety
system that requires the user to reset the heater if there is a potential
overheat situation. When a potential overheat temperature is reached, the
system will automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume operation
when the user resets the unit.
To Reset the Heater:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool down; press the RESETbutton.

Tip-Over Shut Off:
When the unit is accidentally knocked over, it will instantly shut off. To reset,
simply place the heater in an upright position on a level surface.
MAXFLOW™ HEATING SYSTEM
The patented MaxFlow™ Heating system incorporates a top
mounted fan and internal shroud to provide maximum heat
dispersion. The MaxFlow™ Heating system delivers a combination
of instant, penetrating warmth in the immediate area, as well as
forcing heat out for entire room coverage.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully remove your heater from the box. (please save the carton for
off-season storage).

THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS
To take advantage of the 1 Touch
TM
Thermostat continue to press the
MODE/OFF button until the desired temperature is set in either the HIGH
(1500 Watt) or LOW (1000 Watt) setting. When ambient temperature rises
above the set temperature, the heater will stop. When the ambient tempera-
ture drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on automatically.
Note: When the 1 Touch
TM
thermostat is set, either the HIGH or
LOW power light, and the set temperature light will remain lit
during operation. (See fig. #1 and #2)
Note: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the
preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to raise the
thermostat setting.
Note: 1 Touch
TM
has memory. The 1 Touch
TM
thermostat will remember the
previous temperature setting after the unit has been turned off. However, if
the unit is unplugged, the 1 Touch
TM
thermostat will be reset and will no
longer remember the previous temperature setting.
Note: This unit is equipped with a thermister located on the power
cord. This thermister is never to be tampered with in any way. It is
responsible for reading temperatures and adjusting the thermostat
accordingly. It will be most accurate when placed away from any
heat source.
