- 1500W Heating (High Heat Wind): Rotate the Mode Selector Switch to the 'II' or '1500W' setting. The heater will operate at its maximum heat output for rapid and intense warming.
Temperature Adjustment:
Once a heating mode (750W or 1500W) is selected, use the Thermostat Control Dial to set your desired room temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature. Turn the dial clockwise for higher temperatures and counter-clockwise for lower temperatures.
Power Off:
To turn off the heater, rotate the Mode Selector Switch to the 'OFF' position. For complete disconnection, unplug the heater from the electrical outlet.
