on the heating coil during the manufacturing process. It will
quickly evaporate and should not re-occur.
Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well
ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to
emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on for the first time.
Do not be alarmed.

WARNING -
The heater must be properly installed before it is
used.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC
FLASH :
Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and
follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E.
A circuit breaker must be installed and serviced only by
qualified electrical personnel.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to
confirm power is off.
Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON position to turn on the heater.
Then turn the thermostat to the farthest clockwise position. The
power indicator light will turn on, the fan will engage, and the unit
will begin heating the room. After the room reaches a comfortable
temperature, turn the thermostat counterclockwise until the heater
shuts off. The heater will automatically cycle around this preset
temperature. To increase the temperature, turn the thermostat
knob clockwise. To lower the temperature, turn the thermostat
counterclockwise.
Select a thermostat setting.
Ambient temperature is regulated by adjusting the thermostat to a
desired position. Allow the unit to operate and warm up the room.
When the desired temperature is reached, turn the control knob
counterclockwise until the heater turns off. This is your ideal setting.
The heater will start automatically when the room temperature drops
below this set point, and will turn off when the set point is reached.
To turn off the heater, switch the ON/OFF switch to OFF
position.
