Finding a Comfortable Heat Setting
Turn thermostat knob to the right as far as it will
go. Leave at this setting until the room has
reached the desired temperature then turn the
thermostat knob to the left until the heater turns
off. This is your ideal setting. The heater will start
automatically when the temperature around the
heater drops below this setting and will turn off
once the set temperature is reached.

During normal operation, the guard should be
closed and locked in position.
Safety Thermal Sensor
- This heater is
equipped with a continuous capillary sensor that
will shut the heater off when it gets excessively
hot from being covered by clothing, etc.
See
instructions below.
If this heater shuts off and the
overheat light glows:
1. Unplug heater and allow to cool.
2. Make sure the front of the heater is not
blocked, covered, or close to any other objects.
Also, do not sit, or allow a large pet to sit, too
close to the heater - this could also cause the
heater to overheat.
3. Check to see if the heater guard or reflector is
dirty. This could cause the heater to distribute
heat poorly - ultimately causing it to overheat.
(See cleaning instructions)
4. When the heater has cooled, sensor will reset
and allow heater to operate again.
5. If you still have difficulty, call our Service
