2. Placement:
   • Place the heater on a firm, level surface.
   • Ensure there is at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance from walls, furniture, curtains, and other combustible materials on all sides.
   • Do not place the heater directly below a power outlet.
   • Avoid placing the heater in high-traffic areas where it could be easily tripped over.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the heater is switched off before plugging it into a standard 220-240V AC electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Plug the heater into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Select Heat Setting: Locate the control knob or buttons, typically on the front or top of the heater. This model features 3 quartz bars, allowing for multiple heat settings. Turn the knob or press the buttons to select your desired heat output (e.g., 1 bar for low heat, 2 bars for medium, 3 bars for high heat).
3. Safety Tip-Over Switch: The heater is equipped with a safety tip-over switch. If the heater is accidentally knocked over, it will automatically shut off. To resume operation, place the heater upright on a stable surface, and it should restart. If it does not, check the power connection and heat settings.
4. Power Off: To turn off the heater, set the control knob or buttons to the "OFF" position. Unplug the heater from the wall outlet when not in use.

Note: It is normal for heaters to emit a slight odor when first used. This is due to the burning off of manufacturing oils and will dissipate after a few uses.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help ensure the efficient operation and longevity of your heater.

1. Before Cleaning: Always ensure the heater is switched off, unplugged from the power outlet, and completely cool before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or polishes as these may damage the finish. Ensure no water enters the interior of the heater.
3. Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the grilles and ventilation openings. Do not attempt to clean the quartz heating elements directly.
4. Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the heater in its original packaging in a cool, dry place.
5. Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the heater. Avoid twisting or kinking the cord.
