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.

Before cleaning, unplug the unit and allow it to cool down completely. Wipe the external surface with a soft cloth. If the surface is very dirty, use a mixture of water (below 50°C) and a neutral detergent. Do not use gasoline, thinner, or other harsh substances. Store in a dry, ventilated place when not in use.
