Quick guide from the manual
This PTC fan heater is designed for indoor use. To operate, place the unit on a flat, solid surface, plug it into a 120V power outlet, and turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the maximum position. Use the gear switch to select between fan-only mode, 750W low-heat, or 1500W high-heat. Always allow the unit to run in fan-only mode for approximately 30 seconds before shutting it down to dissipate internal heat.
Product description
The heater features a high-quality PTC heating element that automatically adjusts power based on ambient temperature. It includes a 60-degree oscillation function, double overheat protection, and a two-stage power setting (750W/1500W).
Operation instructions

- Powering on: Plug the device into a socket with a rated current greater than 10A.
- Temperature adjustment: Rotate the temperature knob clockwise to the maximum. Once the desired comfort level is reached, turn the knob counter-clockwise until you hear a 'click' to set the thermostat.
- Gear selection: Use the gear switch to toggle between modes: 0 (Off), Fan (Cold air), I (750W Low-heat), and II (1500W High-heat).
- Oscillation: Press the spin button to enable or disable the rotation function.
- Shutdown: Turn the gear switch to the fan position for 30 seconds to cool the unit, then turn to 0, set the temperature knob to minimum, and unplug the device.
Safety warnings
