AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH CERAMIC CONTROL

This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically-advanced, ceramic controlled safety system that requires the user to reset the heater if there is a potential overheat situation. When a potential overheat temperature is reached, the system will automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume operation when the user resets the unit.

To Reset the Heater:

1. Turn the Control Setting to the OFF position.

2. Unplug the heater and wait 5-10 minutes for the unit

to cool down

3. After the 5-10 minutes, plug the unit in again and

operate normally.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully remove your heater from the box (please save the carton for off-season storage).

2. Make sure the unit is in the OFF position before plugging the heater into the outlet.

3. Place heater on a firm, level surface. At 1500 watts, this unit draws 12.5 Amps.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. For heater operation, please set the Thermostat all the way to HI.

2. Move the Selector Control to the desired heat setting (LOW for 1000W or HI for 1500W).

3. For fan-only operation, without any heat output, turn the Selector Control to the FAN setting.

4. The Power Light will remain lit during operation.

THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS

Setting the Thermostat-

1. Before setting the thermostat, allow heater to operate and warm up the room. As noted above, you need to set thermostat on HI to start the heater.

2. When the desired temperature comfort level is reached, lower the thermostat setting until the fan/heater stops operating. This is done by moving the thermostat control toward the LOW setting.

3. The control will now automatically maintain the pre-set temperature level by turning the heater ON and OFF.

Note: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to change the thermostat setting.
