Initial Usage Guidelines
- Upon initial use, operate the appliance at maximum power for a minimum of two hours.
- Adequately ventilate the room to dissipate any initial odors emitted by the appliance. This is normal for new products.
- Occasional "creaking" sounds during initial operation are normal.
Placement
Position the heater on a stable, level surface. Ensure it is placed in an upright position. Do not operate without the casters properly installed to prevent tip-over hazards.

Maintenance
Cleaning
- Always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure no water enters the interior of the heater.
Storage
- When not in use, store the heater in a cool, dry place.
- Wrap the power cord around the integrated cord winder for neat storage.
- The wheels can be folded in for more compact storage.
Troubleshooting
- Heater does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a 15A 120V wall outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning. Verify the heater is in an upright position.
- Heater turns off frequently: In ECO mode, the heater will turn off automatically when the set temperature is reached. If it turns off too frequently, raise the set temperature or switch to Power Heat mode.
- Display shows "P4": This indicates the tip-over protection has been triggered. Unplug the appliance, confirm the socket and plug are safe, then plug it in and turn it on again.
- Display is dark: When the room is dark, the display and ambient temperature indicator light will automatically turn off after 10 seconds if no action is taken. Press any button to reactivate.
- Heater is not heating uniformly: This heater uses convection, which may take longer to heat, but allows it to deliver heat uniformly without making air too dry. Use the timer function to heat your room beforehand.
