Operating Instructions
- Power On: Once the heater is securely installed and connected to a 12V power source, locate the red rocker switches on the top of the unit. Flip one or both switches to the "ON" position to activate the heating function. Each switch controls two air outlets.
- Adjust Airflow: Position the aluminum foil tubes to direct the warm air where needed. For windshield defrosting, aim the tubes directly at the frosted or fogged areas.
- Power Off: When heating is no longer required, flip the rocker switches back to the "OFF" position.
