ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. After removing the heater from its carton, carefully inspect it
for possible shipping damage. Return damaged units to point
of purchase.
2. Remove one plastic support leg and thermostat knob from
packaging in bottom of heater. The right hand support leg is
pre-assembled to the power cord and requires only to be
snapped into place as shown in Figure 1.
3. Fit left hand support leg onto heater and snap into position
as shown in Figure 1.
4. Position thermostat knob onto thermostat shaft as shown in
Figure 1.
NOTE: The knob will only fit onto shaft in one way.
OPERATING 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 improve the effi-
ciency and prevent overheating - see Maintenance Instructions.
1. Your heater is provided with an on/off switch, power on pilot
light (in switch), low and high output pilot lights, and a
“smartstat” temperature control thermostat.
2. To operate your heater simply:
a. Plug heater power supply cord into 120 volt outlet (see
warning 1).
b. Push on/off switch to on position. NOTE: The power on
pilot light in switch will be on.
c. Rotate smartstat thermostat knob in a clockwise direction
until it stops.
3. Allow the heater to operate normally until the room tempera-
ture is comfortable to you. Then simply rotate the smartstat
knob counterclockwise until both the red and amber pilot
lights go out. The smartstat thermostat will automatically turn
on low or high heat as needed to maintain the desired room
temperature.
SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the automatic feature of the smartstat,
the heater will operate on the low heat output setting unless
there is a need for more heat (such as during colder winter
weather). If additional heat is needed, the smartstat will turn on
the high heat output. On low heat output, the amber pilot light
will be on. When the smartstat energizes high heat output, the
red pilot light will also come on. This feature saves you money
by using only the amount of electricity needed to maintain the
desired comfort level.
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. The heater plug must fit tightly into outlet. A loose fitting or
worn outlet may allow for the plug connection to heat, dam-
age to the plug and/or outlet and may cause a fire. If outlet
is loose or worn, discontinue using heater until the outlet
can be replaced.
2. CAUTION – High Temperature, Keep Electrical Cords,
Drapes, And Other Furnishings Away From Heater. Do not
allow curtains or other furnishing to contact heater.
Maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance around the
heater at all times.
3. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the
heater.
4. Do not operate heater without support legs attached as
shown in Figure 1.
5. Do not allow heater to operate in any position except as
shown in this manual.
6. Do not use this heater near water (as in a wet basement or
swimming pool area) or in a very humid environment.
7. This heater is to be used on the floor only. Do not use on
a shelf, table, or any location except the floor.
