location, make sure it is stable and will not fall.

attach the U-shaped bolt to the U-facing flange between first
and second fins (near the front cover).

nut properly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using the heater, make sure that it is on a flat and
stable surface. Damage may occur if it is placed on an
incline or decline.
2. Set all the controls to OFF position and insert the plug into
a socket-outlet with well grounded. Be sure that plug fits
firmly.
3. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to MAX position and
switch the heater on as follow: the switch I for low heat, the
switch II for medium heat and both switches on for high
heat.
4. When your room reaches the desired temperature, now
slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter clockwise until
the pilot light goes out. The thermostat can now be left at
this setting. As soon as the room temperature has dropped
below the set temperature, the unit will switch it self on
automatically until the set temperature has been reached
again. In this way the room temperature remains constant
with the most economical use of electricity.

the thermostat knob clockwise to raise the temperature,
or counter clockwise to lower it.

to OFF, and remove plug from the socket-outlet.
