10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation

when in the high setting. To prevent
overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater
into a circuit that already has other appliances
working.

11. 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
outlet.

12. To disconnect the heater, first turn controls to
the

OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it

from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in the areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used
or stored.

16. 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.

17. 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.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

DO

ASSEMBLY

• Remove the Handle from the box.

• Place the heater on a firm, level floor.

• Line up the prongs on the bottom of the handle with the openings on the
top of the heater and firmly push down (Fig. 1). The handle is now
permanently fastened to the top cover.

Fig. 1

SET-UP

• Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from
obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from any wall or any
combustible material. DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as
bedding or deep carpeting. BE SURE THE HEATER IS NOT IN A

POSITION WHERE IT MAY BE TRIPPED OVER BY SMALL
CHILDREN OR PETS.

• The Tower Surround Heater is designed to disperse heat in either a
360° range or in one direction only.

• To select the desired heating mode, slide the Direction Control
switch, located on the top of the heater, to the position of your choice (Fig. 2):
– to the left (full circle) for 360° Heating
– to the right (half circle) for Forward Only Heating (One Direction Heating)

OPERATION

• Select the appropriate heat dispersion mode (See Set-Up).

• With the Power knob in the OFF (O) position, plug the heater into
a polarized 120V outlet.

• Turn the Thermostat control fully clockwise to the HIGH setting.

• This heater is equipped with three different heat settings. The
Low setting (I) uses 600 watts of power, the Medium setting (II)
uses 900 watts of power and the High setting (III) uses 1500
watts of power. You can select the proper setting to
accommodate your comfort level. Because the Low and Medium
heat settings do not require as much electricity to operate, they
are more energy efficient and may be better options if you are concerned about the amperage
draw on a circuit when the heater is in the High setting.

• Turn the heater on using the Child Resistant switch (Power knob). To operate the switch,
down the two sides of the Power knob while turning it clockwise to the desired position (Fig. 3).
The power light will illuminate. The Child Resistant switch helps to keep the heater from being
turned on unintentionally.

• When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat control counter­clockwise until the heater goes off. This is the point at which the Thermostat setting equals the
room temperature. At this setting, the Thermostat will automatically turn the heater on and off to
maintain this selected temperature.

• Push down and turn the Power knob to OFF and unplug the heater when you are finished
using it.
