COLOUR CHANGING DISPLAY

Your heater features the revolutionary technology
and safety of ViziHeat™ Colour Changing
Display. As your heater warms up, parts of the
front grill will change colour - a visual reminder
that the grill is warm and the heater is on. The
exact timing of the colour change may vary.
When the heater is turned off, the grill will return
to its original colour, thus indicating the grill is

cool to the touch. This may take up to an hour
depending on the environment surrounding the
heater and the cooling down time of the
element.

NOTE: If left in extreme cold temperatures
(- 22° F/-30°C) the ViziHeat™ color changing
display may not perform. The heater itself will
function normally. Store heater in a cool and dry
location.

NOTE: The ViziHeat™ colour changing effect
may wear off after continuous, heavy use of the
heater or in time. The heater will continue to
operate normally.

FROST-GUARD SETTING

This special setting will automatically turn on the
heater if the room’s temperature reaches
freezing. To set, turn the Thermostat Control all
the way to minimum temperature level, and turn
the Mode Control to either HI (II) or LO (I).

AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF

This heater is equipped with a 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 r eset the heater

1. Turn MODE to OFF ( ) and THERMOSTAT
to MAX ( ).

2. Unplug unit, wait 30 minutes.

3. Plug in and turn ON.

Tip-Over Protection

When the unit is accidentally knocked over, it will
instantly shut off. To reset, simply place the
heater in an upright position.

Safety Back-Up Fuse

In the unlikely case the heater does not respond
to an overheat situation, the safety back-up fuse
will engage. In this case, the heater will not
reset. Please contact your local service number
on the back of the manual for advice.

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be taken including the
following:

1. Before connecting the heater, check that the

voltage indicated on the rating plate
corresponds to the main voltage in your
home/office.

2. WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do

not cover the heater .
