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:

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.
