and unplug the unit. Carefully remove the obstruction and follow the
reset instructions.

If your heater fails to oscillate:
• Make sure the oscillation button is pressed.
Incorrect Room Temperature Display:
1. Allow a few minutes for the heater to adjust to the room
temperature.
2. Switch unit to Accutemp. Use touch pad to set desired temperature.
Please DO NOT attempt to open or repair the heater.
Please see the Warranty for Service Instructions.
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. Turn MODE to off and slide switch to manual.
2. Unplug the heater and wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool down.
3. After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate normally.
ACCUTEMP™ DIGITAL THERMOSTAT
Your heater is equipped with an AccuTemp™ Digital Thermostat
that allows you to set your heater to your precise comfort level.
Setting the AccuTemp™ thermostat:
1. Make sure the Manual/AccuTemp™ switch is set to AccuTemp™.
The LCD display will read 25°.
2. Turn the mode control to LO, MED or HI.
3. Push the temperature set button until the display reads your desired
temperature. To increase the temperature push the top button, for
lower temperatures push the lower button. When finished setting the
temperature, release the button and the display will flash to indicate
the thermostat will be set to that temperature.
4. The display will return to existing room temperature and gradually
increase until the room has reached your pre-set temperature.
5. If the unit will not start in the AccuTemp™ mode, please make sure
the “set temperature” is higher than the current room temperature.
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. When the preset temperature is made,
the fan will run for 30 seconds without heat. This cool down process
ensures an accurate and consistent temperature reading. If you unplug
the heater, you will have to reset the AccuTemp™ thermostat again by
following the above instructions.
Manual Operation:
1. If you want the heater to run continuously, turn the
Manual/AccuTemp
™
switch to Manual and adjust the
mode control to LO, MED or HI.
