IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS HEATER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and
njury to persons or property, including the following:
i
1.Read all instructions before using this heater.
2.This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let
are skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials,
b
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and
curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the
heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Ensure a
inimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and
m
rear of heater to adjacent walls. Keep the rear grille away from
walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
3.Extreme caution and reasonable supervision is necessary
when any heater is used by or near children, invalids or pets
and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4.Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip
plug and pull from wall outlet. Never yank on cord.
5.To disconnect the heater, turn controls to “OFF”, then remove
the plug from outlet.
6.Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or
after the heater malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility
for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
7.Do not use outdoors.
8.This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry
areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater
where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
9.Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners or the like. Arrange cord away from
traffic area where it will not be tripped over. Route the cord
so that it will not be walked on, or pinched by furniture.
10.Connect to properly polarized outlets only. Check heater
voltage and amperage on the back of the heater to make
sure it agrees with the electric service supplied.
11.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire
or damage to the heater.
12.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust
in any manner.
NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when unit is first
operated. Do not be alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell
on the heating coil during the manufacturing process. It will quickly
vaporate and should not re-occur.
e
Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well
ventilated during this operation.
13.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other
use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
lectric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.
e
14.It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the
touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or
ecomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn
b
electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be
replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater
into a worn outlet/ receptacle may result in overheating of the
ower cord or fire.
p
15.Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure floor surface to
eliminate the potential of tipping it over.
16.Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into appropriate
receptacle. Please remember that receptacles also
deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check
periodically for signs of overheating or deformations
evidenced by the plug. Should this occur, do not use the
receptacle if deteriorated. CALL a qualified electrician.
17.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has
been damaged in any way during transportation.
18.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging
material have been left between one element of the appliance
and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner.
19.When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may
notice a slight odor which is normal with new electrical
appliances. Allow odor to dissipate by running appliance at
full power for about ten minutes. Make sure that the room in
which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this
operation. This heater draws 13 Amps during operation. To
prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a
circuit that already has other appliances working.
20.Do not run in locations when the heater will be left unattended
for long periods of time.
21.Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.
22.This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
23.Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.
Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap
(outlet/power strip).

PERATING INSTRUCTIONS
O
IMPORTANT
THIS HEATER IS FOR USE ON THE FLOOR ONLY.
This heater comes with a grounded (3 blade) plug for use on 110-120 volts AC.
The grounded plug must be used with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter
in a 2-slot wall outlet unless the ground plug of the adapter properly connects to
a building ground. Using heater without properly grounded outlet or adapter
could result in an electric shock hazard.
Operation
1. Plug the heater cord directly into a
standard grounded 120-volt AC outlet.
Operate the heater in the upright
position with its rubber feet on the floor.
The plug must fit tightly into outlet. A
loose fit will cause overheating and
damage to the plug. During normal use,
however, the plug may feel warm.
2. Turn the setting control knob to the
“High” position to provide the
maximum heat output.
3. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise
(right) to “HIGH”. The heater will begin
heating and the fan will start blowing
warm air.
4. When the room temperature reaches
the desired comfort level, slowly rotate
the thermostat knob counterclockwise
(left) until the heater shuts off. At this
setting, the heater will automatically
cycle on and off to maintain this
temperature.
NOTE: Do not force the knob beyond
its normal stopping position. Only minor
adjustments to the thermostat should be
necessary to maintain the desired comfort level. Turning clockwise will increase
the room temperature and counterclockwise will decrease the temperature.

5. To conserve energy, the heater may
operate at lower wattage by turning
control knob to the “LOW” position.
6. When heater is not needed, turn
selector switch to the “OFF” position.
Then remove the plug from outlet.
IMPORTANT: The heating coils on your
heater do not glow. Coil elements are
normally dark. Air movement through
these coils prevents glowing while
providing comfortable heat, similar to a
forced-air furnace. Some glow may
occur where the air movement does not
directly touch the coils.
AB
TO RESET OVER-TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This heater is equipped with a built-in over-temperature safety switch that will turn the heater off if overheating occurs. An alarm
indicator will then light up for your notification.
To reset the heater, turn control to OFF, then remove plug from outlet, wait until heater has cooled and the condition that caused
the overheating is corrected, the safety switch will then reset.
