INSTALLATION
This heater comes with a grounded (3 blade) plug.
WARNING: The grounded plug must be used with a grounded
outlet. DO NOT use an adapter in a 2-slot wall outlet unless the ground
plug of the adapter properly connects to a building ground. Using heater
without properly grounded outlet or adapter could result in an electric
shock hazard.
OPERATION
WARNING: Follow the information in this manual exactly; a fire
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local
building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce risk of fire,
electrical shock and operator injury.
1. Plug the heater cord directly into a standard grounded 120-Volt AC
outlet. Operate the heater in the upright position with its rubber feet
on the floor.
2. Turn wattage selector knob to the “1500W” position to provide the
maximum heat output.
3. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise (right) to “HIGH”. The heater
will begin heating and the fan starts blowing warm air.
4. When the room temperature reaches the desired comfort level,
slowly rotate the thermostat knob counterclockwise (left) until the
heater shuts off. At this setting, the heater will automatically cycle
on and off to maintain this temperature.
NOTE: DO NOT force the knob beyond its normal stopping position.
Only minor adjustments to the thermostat should be necessary to
maintain the desired comfort level. Turning clockwise will increase the
room temperature and counterclockwise will decrease the temperature.

Some glow may occur where the air
movement does not directly touch the
coils.
