followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury  to persons,

including the following:
1) Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2) To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120 V AC

electrical outlet.

hot surfaces.  If provided, use handles when moving this heater.  Keep

combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes,

and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep

them away from the sides and rear.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
3.  After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate normally.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Carefully remove your heater from the box. (Please save the carton

for off-season storage.)

2.  Place heater on firm level surface.
3.  Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high wattage appli-

ances in the same outlet. At 1500 watts, this unit pulls 12.5 amps.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Your heater is equipped with a technologically advanced 1 Touch™ 

electronic thermostat. You can set the heater to run continuously in 

manual mode or set the 1 Touch™ Thermostat to your desired tempera-

ture setting.  The 1 Touch™ thermostat will automatically turn the heater

ON or OFF depending on the preset comfort level.  The comfort level

ranges between 60º and 80º Fahrenheit.  

Manual Mode Instructions:

1. Plug the heater into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. To start the unit, push the MODE/OFF button once for the HIGH

(1500 Watts) manual setting. (See fig. #1)

3. Press the button again for the LOW (1000 Watts) manual setting.

(See fig. #1)

4. To stop the unit, press and hold the button for two seconds or keep

pressing the button until all the temperature indicators are OFF.

Note:  The Power Light will remain lit during operation.  In
Manual Mode, only the LOW or HIGH power light will be lit.

1 Touch Thermostat Instructions:

To take advantage of the 1 Touch™ 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

temperature drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on

automatically.

Note:  When the 1 Touch™ thermostat is set, either the HIGH

or LOW power light, and the set temperature light will remain

lit during operation. (See fig. #1)

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™ has memory.  The 1 Touch™ thermostat will

remember the previous temperature setting after the unit has

been turned off.  However, if the unit is unplugged, the 

1 Touch™ thermostat will be reset and will no longer 

remember the previous temperature setting.
