shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly
into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT
let bare skin touch 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.

4. DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord

from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

5. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry
areas and similar indoor location. NEVER locate heater

6. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used
by, or near, children or disabled persons, and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.

7. DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED
WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a
plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one

way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.

DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.

The length of the cord used on this product was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the heater. Care must be taken to

arrange the extension cord where it cannot be pulled
on by children or accidentally tripped over.

FIRST USE ONLY:

1. Put batteries into Remote. The "Room" temperature is
displayed at all times. (Use 3 AAA Alkaline batteries
only, do not mix batteries)

2. Plug unit into outlet. The first time the unit is plugged

times telling the user the signal was received. DO NOT
SYNC more than 1 unit at once. A hazardous situation
may occur.

Note: If the batteries are running low on power, a low
battery indicator will appear on the remote. Low batteries
will affect transmission distance and the screen contrast.
We recommend replacing batteries immediately.

Note: The transmission distance for this remote is 30 ft,

heat from the lamp may affect the accuracy of the
thermostat

Note: Because heat rises, and the Galileo remote senses
temperature, Bionaire recommends that you do not locate

locating the Galileo more than 4 ft from the ground, you will
get a less accurate temperature reading than under normal
circumstances.
