BASEBOARD MICATHERMIC HEATER

USER MANUAL
Model # HGW-203
Micathermic is a new method of heating that utilizes technology from both convection and reflective heat. The heater releases 80% reflective and 20% convection heat, distributing heat consistently and more evenly throughout the room. The heater releases healthy infrared heat, directly warming surrounding objects. As the surrounding objects absorb heat, the air temperature rises.

[Rated not less than 115 volt]
3. Turn the Temperature Control
Knob clockwise until the Light Indicator turns on [Fig 2]. At this moment, the Temperature Control will start working.
Note: The Light Indicator will turn off when the room reaches the desired temperature. After a while, as the room temperature falls, the heater will turn on again and release heat until the room temperature rises to the desired temperature. Desired room temperature is maintained automatically by this procedure.
You can adjust the temperature control knob to increase or decrease the room temperature as desired by turning in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction as shown in the figure.
4. To obtain a desirable
temperature, there is an area indicated on the Temperature Control Knob known as the “Comfortable Zone.” You can adjust the knob to select a temperature within this range.
5. Anti-Freeze Setting
This setting keeps the temperature of the surrounding area above freezing to prevent pipes from breaking. To do this, simply plug in the heater and turn the Temperature Control Knob to the “Snowflake” position. The heater will automatically turn on when the ambient temperature drops below 41°F.
6. Overheat Safety Protection
The heater comes equipped with overheat safety protection, so it can detect if it is overheating and will automatically shut off. When the unit temperature falls again, power will be resumed. To avoid overheating and potential risk of fire, DO NOT cover the heater.
