technology. Natural convection currents distribute the heat evenly
throughout the room, while radiant heat from the heating surface warms
people and objects in the room. This heater is equipped with two heat
settings and an adjustable thermostat.

occurrence caused by the initial heating of the
internal heating elements and should not
occur again.
