TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Wattage: 1500W (+5%-15%)
• Working voltage: 120V AC/60Hz
AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH INSTANT
TIP-OVER PROTECTION
This heater is equipped with a patented, technologicallyadvanced 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 Heat Control to the OFF (O) position.
2. Wait 15 minutes for the unit to cool down.
3. Push the reset button on the backside of the unit and
operate normally.
Tip-Over Shut Off:
When the unit is accidentally knocked over, it will
instantly shut off. To reset, simply place the heater in an
upright position.
MAXFLOWTMFAN SYSTEM
The patented MaxFlowTMFan system incorporates a top
mounted fan and internal shroud to provide maximum
heat dispersion. The MaxflowTMFan system is activated by
using the Mode Control Knob. It delivers a combination of
instant, penetrating warmth in the immediate area, as
well as forcing the heat out for entire room coverage.

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.

high wattage appliances in the same outlet. At 1500
watts, this unit draws 12.5 amps.

it maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit
from cycling, you need to raise the thermostat setting.
