IMPORTANT! This heater is a major electrical
appliance and requires adequate electrical
power. The outlet in use must be a 120 volt
circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp fuse or
circuit breaker. No other major electrical
appliance should be operated in the same
circuit as the heater.
Use care when choosing the location and
using the heater. Do not block the heater in
any way to prevent air to flow freely through
the heater. Keeping the heater clean will also
improve the efficiency and prevent
overheating. See Maintenance on page 3 for
cleaning information.
WARNING! The heater plug must fit tightly into
outlet. A loose fitting or worn outlet may cause
plug connection to heat, damage plug or
outlet and cause a fire. If outlet is loose or worn,
discontinue using heater until the outlet can
be replaced. Heater must be properly installed
before operation.
NOTE: A new smell coming from heater may be
detected during initial use. Operate heater on
highest setting for at least one hour to minimize
the new smell. Heater may not heat up
immediately because of the tubular element
design. Heater will take a few minutes before
warmth will be felt.
NOTE: Heater has automatic-resetting thermal
safety switch that will disconnect power to
the heating element should the heater be
placed into an abnormal condition (such as a
blockage) to prevent a fire. When the heater
cools, the safety switch will reset allowing the
heater to return to normal operation.
1. Heater must be properly installed before operation.
2. The heater is provided with a POSITIVE OFF
thermostat. In addition to the thermostat, the heater
has a LO/HI heat selection switch.
3. Plug heater power supply into 120 volt outlet.
4. Move heat selection switch to the left position for LO
(1000 watts) or to the right for HI (1500 watts).
5. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until it stops.
6. Allow heater to operate normally until the room
reaches desired temperature. Rotate thermostat
knob counterclockwise until a click is heard.
Thermostat will automatically cycle heater on
and off as needed to maintain desired room
temperature.
NOTE: This heater is designed to slowly radiate
gentle, even heat. It may take several hours to
reach the desired temperature.
7. To adjust temperature, rotating the thermostat
knob clockwise will increase the heater output and
rotating the thermostat knob counterclockwise will
decrease output. The numbers on the thermostat
knob are for reference only and help in setting and
adjusting the heater to desired temperature.
8. To turn heater off, rotate thermostat knob
counterclockwise until it stops. Always unplug heater
when not in use.
