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:

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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Grounding

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.

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.
