Model MCM1503

This heater is provided with a grounded (3 blade) plug for use
on 110-120 volts AC.

CAUTION: The grounded plug must be used with a
grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter in a 2-slot wall
outlet unless the ground lug of the adapter is properly con­nected to a known building ground. Failure to use heater
with properly grounded outlet or adapter could result in an
electric shock hazard. The adapter should not be used if a
3 slot grounded receptacle is available.

TO OPERATE

1. Plug the heater power cord directly into a standard
grounded 110-120 volt AC outlet. Always operate the
heater in the upright position with the rubber feet on the
floor.

CAUTION: Be sure plug fits tightly into outlet. A loose fit
will cause overheating and damage to the plug. Plug may
feel warm during normal usage.

2. Rotate heat selection knob to “LOW” (600W), “MED”
(900W) or HIGH (1500W) setting.

3. Rotate the “THERMOSTAT” knob clockwise (right)until
the knob stops. The heater should begin heating. At
“LOW” (600W) the fan will not operate. At “MED”

(900W) and “HIGH” (1500W) settings, the fan should
start to blow warm air.

4. Allow the heater to operate until the room temperature
reaches the desired level, then slowly rotate the
“THERMOSTAT” knob counter-clockwise (left) until the
heater cycles off. At this setting, the heater will cycle on
and off automatically to maintain this comfort level.

NOTE: Do not force knob beyond its normal stop
position. It may be necessary to make minor
adjustments to the thermostat to maintain the
desired comfort level. Clockwise movement will
increase the room temperature. Counter-clockwise
movement will decrease room temperature.

5. To conserve energy, the heater may be operated at a
lower wattage by placing the heat selection knob at the
“LOW” (600W) or MED (900W) settings.

6. When heater is not needed, rotate control knob to the
“OFF” position, remove the plug from outlet, and move
heater to safe place for storage.

CLEANING & CARE

Your heater is designed for trouble-free operation with little
maintenance. However, routine cleaning is recommended
as follows:

1. Before attempting to clean heater, turn heater to “OFF”
position and remove plug from outlet.

2. Using damp cloth, wipe dust and dirt from heater to
cabinet. Do not use waxes as they may discolor.

3. When heater is not to be used for an extended time,
turn to “OFF” position, unplug from outlet and place
heater in safe place, such as a box, to prevent possible
damage.

TO RESET OVER-TEMPERATURE CONTROL

This heater is equipped with a built-in over-temperature
safety switch that will cycle the heater off if the heater
overheats. After heater is allowed to cool and the condition
that caused the overheating is corrected, using a small
straight object, such as a pencil, push in button located
inside small hole on side of heater marked “RESET”.
