WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using this heater.
■ This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns,
do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use
handle when moving this heater. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains
at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the
heater and keep them away from the sides
and rear.
■ Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the heater is left operating and
unattended.
■ Always unplug heater when not in use.
■ Do not operate any heater with a damaged
cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions,
has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment or repair.
■ Power cord includes a current interrupter
device. A test and reset button is provided
on the plug case. The device should be tested
on a periodic basis, while plugged in, by first
pressing the TEST button and then the RESET
button. If the TEST button does not trip or if
the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the heater and contact
a qualified service technician.
■ Do not use outdoors.
■ This heater is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This heater should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
■ This heater is not intended for use in
bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor
high humidity locations. Never locate heater
where it may fall into bathtub or other water
container.
■ Always place the heater on a flat, level
surface. Do not place on top of furniture
or other places where the heater may fall,
dislodging or breaking parts inside the heater.
This could result in a fire or shock hazard.
■ Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not
cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar
coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic
area and where it will not be tripped over.
■ To disconnect heater, first turn controls to off,
then remove plug from outlet.
■ 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.
■ To prevent a possible fire, do not block air
intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use
on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings
may become blocked.
■ A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline,
paint, flammable liquids or gases are used or
stored.
■ Keep flammable materials away from heater.
■ Use this heater only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
■ Avoid the use of an extension cord because
the extension cord may overheat and cause
a risk of fire. However, if you must use an
extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG
minimum size and rated not less than 1875
watts.
■ This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation.
To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug
the heater into a circuit that already has other
appliances working.
■ It is normal for the plug to feel warm to
the touch; however, a loose fit between
the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact
a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn
outlets or if the plug becomes very hot.
■ The output of this heater may vary and its
temperature may become intense enough
to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is
not recommended for persons with reduced
sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to
avoid burns.
■ Never unplug your portable room heater by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.
■ Turn the portable heater off, allow it to cool
completely and then unplug it before cleaning.
■ GE does not support any servicing of
the portable room heater. We strongly
recommend that you do not attempt
to service the heater yourself.

NOTE: The display will change to show the
room temperature after settings have been
made. To recall the set temperature, press the
Increase or Decrease pads.
Increase (+) Pad
Use to increase the set temperature (when
in the heat mode) or to increase the timer

Mode Pad
Press to set to LO heat, HI heat, fan mode or
to return to the standby mode.
Use the fan mode to provide air circulation

Increase/Decrease pads to set the desired
temperature between 40°F and 90°F in 1°F
increments.
A thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to
keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the
thermostat at a higher temperature and the indoor
air will become warmer. Set the thermostat at a
lower temperature and the indoor air will become
less warm.
