TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS

HEATER

NOTE: There may be a trace of smoke or odor when unit is first operated.

Don’t be alarmed. This indicates that a drop of oil fell 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.

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD

ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK

AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. Read all instructions before using this heater.

2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains

at least 3 ft. (0.9 meters) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the

sides and rear. Ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and rear

of heater to adjacent walls. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so as not to

block the air intake.

3. Extreme and reasonable supervision is necessary when any heater is used by or near

children, invalids or pets and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

4. Always unplug heater when not in use. To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet.

Never yank on cord.

5. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to “OFF.”, then remove the plug from outlet.

6. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions or

has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to an authorized service facility

for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations.

Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

9. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or the like.

Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic areas

where it will not be tripped over. Route the cord so that it will not be walked on or

pinched by furniture.

10. Connect to properly grounded outlets only. Check heater voltage and amperage on the

back of the heater to make sure it agrees with the electric service supplied.

11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this

may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

12. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on

soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

13. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.

14. This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. Be sure to use a dedicated 240VAC, 30A

circuit for the heater.

15. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which

becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn

electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the

heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating of the

power cord or fire.

16. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure floor surface to eliminate the potential of tipping it

over.

17. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the appropriate receptacle. Please remember that

receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of

overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Should this occur, do not use the

receptacle if deteriorated. CALL your electrician.

18. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during

transportation.

19. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between

one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance

with a vacuum cleaner.

20. When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight odor which is

normal with new electrical appliances. Allow odor to dissipate by running appliance at full

power for about ten minutes. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is

well ventilated during this operation. This heater draws 20 Amps during operation. To

prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other

appliances working.

21. Do not run in locations when the heater will be left unattended for long periods of time.

22. Do not use attachments or filters. They are not recommended.

23. Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord

or portable power tap (outlet/power strip). A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts

inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

configuration and capacity appropriate for the heater. See receptacle configuration

in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. This heater uses 240 volts. The cord has a plug

as shown in #6. No adapter is available for this blade configuration, and none should

be used. The type of receptacle is a 240 volt grounding receptacle (NEMA 6-30R).

When properly installed, it provides a ground connection through the cord to the

PARTS OF THE HEATE

GROUNDING AND OPERATING

YOUR HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH A THERMOSTAT:

1. Turn the unit on by turning the thermostat dial away from the OFF position.

2. For faster heat up or to increase the heat output, turn the Thermostat Control knob all the

way to the right [MAX]. The thermostat function controls the temperature output. To

decrease the heat output, turn the knob counter clockwise.

3. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat Control knob

counter clockwise until you hear a “click.” This sets the heater to cycle ON/OFF to

maintain the desired heating temperature for energy efficiency.

4. To completely shut unit OFF, turn the thermostat dial to the OFF position and unplug the

heater.
