USAGE
HEATER OPERATION:
Always operate the heater in the upright position following all
instructions and recommendations listed in this manual.
HEATER LOCATION:
Place the heater in the area of the room
that is coldest. Do not locate against walls or behind drapes
or furniture.
HEATER CONNECTION:
Plug heater directly into 120 Volt
AC, 60Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose
connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug
or heater.
NOTE:
To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT:
This heater is equipped with a
Power Indicator Light. The power light will illuminate when the
unit is plugged in.
TURNING HEATER ON:
To start the heater, turn the Power
Control dial from the OFF position to the LOW or HIGH setting.
Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwise to the HIGH
THERMOSTAT position as described below. (During the heaters
initial use, you may experience a slight odor or smoking. This is
the result of the heating element lubrication “burning off”. This is
normal and will go away after a few minutes of use.)
POWER CONTROL DIAL:
This heater has two heat settings:
High and Low. Use the higher setting (1500 watt) to raise the
room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is
reached use the Low setting. It is usually sufficient to maintain
a comfortable temperature.
SETTING THERMOSTAT:
After heater has been turned on and
the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate
the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until the heater shuts
off (you should hear a faint “click”). By leaving the thermostat
at this setting it will automatically maintain this temperature. To
lower temperature, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise
(towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the
thermostat knob clockwise (towards the HIGH position).
TURNING HEATER OFF:
Turn the Power Control dial to the
OFF position before unplugging or plugging in the heater.
Heater should be unplugged when not in use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES:
The power indicator light, located near the control panel, lights
whenever the heater IS plugged in. The heater is equipped with
an automatic overheat protection device located inside the body
of the heater. If the heater grille is obstructed, or if the heater gets
too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat protection device
will turn the heater off. To reset the heater, simply turn power off
and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until it cools down and you
may plug in and restart the heater. Be sure that the heater is on
a smooth level surface with no obstructions. The heater is also
equipped tith a safety tip-over switch. This switch will shut the
heater off when the heater is tipped over. It will reset when the
heater is placed upright.
