- Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Retain packaging for off-season storage.
- Caster Check: The casters are pre-assembled. Ensure they are securely attached and can rotate freely for easy movement.
- Placement: Place the heater on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) of clear space around the heater from walls, furniture, curtains, and other combustible materials. Do not place the heater directly below a power outlet.
