proper wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly. A loose fit will cause
overheating and damage to the plug. Plug and cord may feel warm
during normal usage. Do not use an extension cord. Always operate
heater on its feet in the normal upright position.

3. Turn the ― THERMOSTAT‖ Control clockwise(right) to the ―HIGH‖ setting

until the knob stops. The heater should begin heating and the fan should
start to blow warm air.

4. Allow the heater to operate until the room temperature reaches the

desired level, then slowly rotate the ―THERMOSTAT‖ Control
counter-clockwise(left) until the heater cycles off. At this setting, the
heater will cycle on and off automatically to maintain this comfort level.

NOTE: Do not force knob beyond its normal stop position. It may be
necessary to make minor adjustments to the thermostat to maintain
the desired comfort level. Clockwise movement will increase the
room temperature. Counter-clockwise movement will decrease
room temperature.

5.When heater is not needed, rotate control knob to the ―OFF‖ position,

remove the plug from outlet, and move heater to safe place for storage.

NOTE: Each time heater is used, be sure to turn knob full “On”
before turning it back to approximate setting established as most
comfortable. (Design of the thermostat requires this operation every
time heater is used).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not expect the heating coils on your heater
to glow. Coil elements are normally dark. Air movement over these
coils prevents glowing yet provides convection heat, similar to a
forced-air furnace. Some glow may occur where the moving air does
not directly touch the coils.

IF YOUR HEATER FAILS TO OPERATE:

 Be sure it is plugged in and that the electrical outlet is working.
 Check that the thermostat is not set too low, turn the thermostat up

(clockwise) until the heater restarts.

 If you still notice the same malfunction mentioned above, remove the

plug from the socket and have the appliance serviced by authorized
service personnel only.
