Safety Features
The Riccar SummerBreeze Heater has safeguards to protect the heater from overheating.
Here are a few ways the heater warms your home safely:
• Enclosed heating element prevents the heat from creating hot external areas.
• Thermal fuses shut the element off if dangerously high temperatures are reached.
• Tip-over switch shuts off the element if the heater is tilted. The power resets when the
heater is returned to operating position.
• Circuit breaker protects against potential electrical safety conditions.
Polarization Instructions

malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for the electric current

to reduce the risk of electric shock. This heater

Outlet Box
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This heater is for use on a 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure the heater is connected to an outlet having the same
conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this heater.
Energy Savings
• The Riccar SummerBreeze Zone Heater reduces energy usage and cost by allowing you to
set your central heating system to a lower temperature and use zone controlled heating to
only heat the area you’re occupying.
• The Riccar SummerBreeze Zone Heater uses a heating element with a finned design that
creates more internal surface area to be heated. As air passes over the element, it is more
effective at heating the air.
Ease to Use, Easy to Maintain
• The dial and programmable thermostats are easy to use.
• Minimal maintenance is required. Just vacuum or wash the filter and replace as needed.
• No bulbs to replace.
Comfort
The SummerBreeze Zone Heater by Riccar features a unique design that creates even heat
distribution – so your toes are as warm as your nose.
• High airflow allows uniform air distribution – something space heaters and radiant heaters
can’t do.
• Quiet operation adds to your room’s ambience.
Beauty
The Riccar SummerBreeze Zone Heater isn’t just functional, it’s also beautiful. The rich wood
finish blends in with your décor and complements your room.
• Made with a solid wood top and legs and veneer core hardwood panels.
• Requires only furniture polish or a quick dusting with a Riccar Microfiber Cloth to keep
its rich finish.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the heater – if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
