ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This heater is a major electrical appli-
ance and requires adequate electrical power. The outlet to
which this heater is connected must be a 120 volt (AC) circuit
protected by a 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. No other
major electrical appliance should be operated in the same circuit
as the heater.
Care must be given in locating and using the heater to avoid
blocking the heater in any way to allow air to flow freely through
the heater. Keeping the heater clean will also help improve the
efficiency and prevent overheating.
SPECIAL NOTE:
You may notice a new smell coming from your
heater during initial use. It should go away within the first few
hours of operation. You may also notice it does not heat up
immediately. Because of the special tubular element design, it
takes a few minutes before you can feel the warmth through the
cabinet.
1.
Never place anything on top of the heater. It is recommend-
ed that a space of at least 12 inches (30 mm) be maintained
around the heater.
2. When moving heater, turn off heater by flipping ON-OFF
switch to the OFF position, unplug from outlet, and allow
heater to cool. The heater may then be moved by grasping
the heater enclosure and move to the desired location.

pilot light, and a temperature control digital thermostat with
backlit LCD. There are 3 push buttons. The center button is
used to select the Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC) tempera-
ture scales. The left and right buttons are used to adjust the

To Adjust Temperature Set Point:
a. To see the current temperature set point on the display, press
the UP or DOWN button once.
b. Press the UP or DOWN button again to change the tempera-
ture set point by 1 degree.

decrease set temperature at a faster rate. Once high (or low)
limit of 85°F (or 40°F) is reached, display will stop.
d. Display will switch to current temperature if no button is
pressed for about 5 seconds.
The heater plug must fit tightly into outlet. A loose fitting or
