with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over.

9. Connect to properly grounded outlets only. This

heater is for use on 120 volts. This appliance has a grounded plug as shown in Fig. 1. An adapter is available at retail (not included) for connecting threeblade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a

properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation.

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 off the product,

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. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the

extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts. The extension cord shall be a three wire cord with a grounding-type cord and plug connector.

18. 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.

• Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 ft. (0.9m) away from any combustible materials. 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 heater’s rubber feet will hold it firmly in position.

• With the Power knob in the OFF position, plug the heater into a grounded 120V outlet suitable for a 3-prong plug (Fig.1).

• Turn the Thermostat fully clockwise to its highest position.

This heater is equipped with adjustable front legs that allow you to adjust the heat output angle up and down.

• Use the Power knob to turn the heater on to Low ( ) (900W) or High ( ) (1500W) (Fig. 3).The power light will illuminate.

This portable space heater includes an energy efficient setting which is the Low ( ) setting. Because a lower heat setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better option if you are concerned about high power consumption.

• When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat control counter-clockwise 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.

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