PET OWNERS NOTE:

Although these fumes are not harmful to humans, it is recommended that this heater not be used around birds and small pets during its initial use until the manufacturing corrosion coatings burn off.

OPERATION

HEATER OPERATION

Always operate the heater in the upright position following all instructions and recommendations listed in this manual.

HEATER LOCATION

Place the heater in the area of the room that is coldest.

HEATER CONNECTION

Plug heater directly into 120 volt A.C., 60 Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug or heater. NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.

TURNING HEATER ON

To start the heater, turn the On/Off Switch from the OFF position to the ON position. Then rotate the Thermostat Control clockwise to the HIGH THERMOSTAT position as described below. (During the heaters initial use, you may experience a slight odor or smoking. This is the result of the heating element lubrication “burning off”. This is normal and will go away after a few minutes of use.)

POWER LEVEL SWITCH

This heater has two heat settings: 1250 and 1500 watts. Use the higher setting (1500 WATT) to raise the room temperature quickly. When the desired temperature is reached use the lower 1250 WATT setting. It is usually sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature.

SETTING THERMOSTAT

After heater has been turned on and the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until the heater shuts off (you should hear a faint “click”). By leaving the thermostat at this setting it will automatically maintain this temperature. To lower temperature, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise (towards the LOW position). To raise the temperature, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise (towards the HIGH position).

TURNING OFF

Turn the On/Off Switch to the OFF position before unplugging or plugging in the heater. Heater should be unplugged when not in use.

POWER INDICATOR LIGHT

The Power Indicator Light will illuminate when the heater is turned on.

ALARM INDICATOR

The Alarm Indicator will illuminate when the heater has overheated. If light is illuminated immediately turn the On/Off switch to the OFF position then unplug the unit. Follow instructions in the Important Safety Features section below.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

This heater is packaged with the legs unassembled. The legs must be attached before operating the heater. Please notice the arrow on each base leg. It shows the installation direction to the front of the heater. Insert the protrusions on the leg into the notches on the bottom of the heater. Once inserted, push base leg towards heater front until it stops. Use supplied screw to secure leg. Repeat steps for second leg.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES

The Power Indicator Light, located above the On/Off Switch, lights whenever the heater is turned on. The heater is equipped with an automatic overheat protection device located inside the body of the heater. If the heater grille is obstructed, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat protection device will turn the heater off. To reset the heater, simply turn power off and unplug the heater for 10 minutes until it cools down and restart. Be sure that the heater is on a smooth level surface with no obstructions.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

CAUTION-Before cleaning the heater be sure to disconnect power cord and allow the heater to cool completely. This heater should be cleaned at least once a year to maintain proper performance. Clean the outside surface with a clean damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners. DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATER IN WATER. Allow heater to dry completely before use.

REPAIR

DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITHOUT THE GRILLE IN PLACE. DO NOT USE THE HEATER IF IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED OR BECOME DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

STORAGE

Keep original carton for storage of the heater. Coil and tie the power cord to avoid damage during storage.
