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 120V AC 60Hz outlet. Be sure the 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 also proving power to other items.
Heater Start-Up
- To start the heater, press one or both power switches (Fig. 3) from the off position to the Low or Med heat mode positions. When both switches are pressed the heater will operate in High heat mode.
- Turn the Thermostat control counterclockwise as far as it will go to the maximum (+) position.
Power Level Switches
Low switch = Low heat mode (600 watts)
Med switch = Medium heat mode (900 watts)
Low + Med switch = High heat mode (1500 watts)
Setting Thermostat
After the heater has been turned on and the area has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the Thermostat Control counterclockwise until the heater shuts off (you should hear a faint "click"). By leaving the thermostat at this setting the heater will automatically maintain this area temperature. To maintain a lower temperature, rotate the control further in the counterclockwise direction toward the minimum (-) position. To maintain a higher temperature, rotate the control clockwise toward the maximum (+) position.
Important Safety Features
The power indicator light that is located in the power switch turns on when the heater is switched on to tell you that the heater has power.
The heater is equipped with an automatic overheat protection device located inside the body of the heater. If the heater is covered, or if the heater gets too hot for any reason, the automatic overheat protection device will turn the heater off.
The unit must be reset to resume operation. To reset the unit, turn both power switches to "O" (Off) and unplug the heater. Wait for 10 minutes for the heater to cool down. Plug the heater back in and restart.
To prevent further automatic shut-off, locate the heater far enough away from a wall or other object to allow for sufficient airflow.
Always place the heater on a smooth level surface. The heater is also equipped with a safety tip-over switch to turn the power off to the heater when the heater tips over. To resume heater functions simply stand heater upright. With tip over protection, the heater will only operate when placed upright on a level surface.

position. There are 96 small plastic pins on the timer, each corresponds to a 15-minute interval. Push the pins outward corresponding to the time you want the heater to turn ON and push the pins inward corresponding to the time you want the heater to turn OFF.
Caution:
A. Do not use the timer function unattended.
B. The heater will not operate if the timer is set to the 
position and the pins are not activated according to the times required.
C. If the heater loses its electricity supply, e.g. Switched off at the mains socket or in the event of a power failure, the time should be reset after the power on again.
3. The pilot light will be on when the timer is set to ON position or the timing function is activated.
