USAGE
HEATER OPERATION:
Always operate the heater in the upright
position following all instructions and recommendations listed in this
manual.
HEATER LOCATION:
Before using this heater, ensure that it is placed
on a flat, stable surface. The heater should not be placed immediately
under a power outlet.
HEATER CONNECTION:
Plug heater directly into 120 Volts 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:
When the unit is turned on, the POWER
INDICATOR LIGHT will illuminate to tell you the heater is functioning.
TURNING HEATER ON:

CONTROL DIAL from the OFF
« O »
position to the LOW
« I »
or HIGH
« II »
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.)
NOTE:
This heater has two heat settings: HIGH
« II »
and LOW
« I »
. Use
the HIGH setting (1,500W) to raise the room temperature quickly.
When the desired temperature is reached use the LOW setting (750W).
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).
TO OPERATE FAN ONLY:
Turn the POWER CONTROL DIAL to the
FAN
« »
setting. Turn thermostat fully clockwise so the fan will run
continuously.
TURNING OFF:
To disconnect heater, turn both controls to OFF, then
remove plug from outlet. Heater should be unplugged when not in
use.
