Always place the unit on a flat, stable surface at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from combustible materials. Do not use extension cords; plug the unit directly into a wall outlet.

Product Overview

The heater consists of the following main components:

• Thermostat Control (Part A): Used to set and maintain the desired room temperature.
• Power and Setting Control (Part B): Used to select between heat levels or fan-only mode.
• Power indicator light (Part C): Illuminates when the unit is in operation.

Safety Instructions

To prevent fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following precautions:

• Do not use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or near water.
• Keep the heater away from furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains.
• Do not block air intakes or exhaust.
• Do not use on soft surfaces like beds.
• The unit draws 12.5 amps; do not plug into a circuit with other high-wattage appliances.
• If the plug feels warm, it may be due to a loose outlet; contact an electrician.

Operation

2. Turn the Power and Setting Control to the desired level:
   • 1: 700W
   • 2: 900W

3. The power light will remain illuminated during operation.

Fan Mode Setting

To use the unit as a cooling air circulator without heat, turn the power fan setting control to the fan icon position.

Safety Features

• Thermal Cut-off: Automatically shuts the heater off if it overheats. If this happens, turn off, unplug, remove obstructions, let it cool for a few minutes, and restart.
• Tip-over Switch: Automatically shuts the heater off if it is tipped over. Simply place the unit back in an upright position to resume operation.

Troubleshooting

If the unit shuts down unexpectedly:

1. Turn the unit off.
2. Unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes.
3. Plug it back in and turn it on.

If the heater still fails to operate, check for obstructions, ensure the outlet is working, and verify the unit is plugged in correctly. If issues persist, have the appliance serviced by an authorized electrician.

• Turn the heater OFF, unplug it, and allow it to cool.
