Safety Precautions
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the instructions shown here must be followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause harm or damage. The different levels of risk are shown by the following indications:
⚠️ WARNING: This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
⚠️ CAUTION: This symbol indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
ℹ️ NOTICE: This symbol addresses practices not related to physical injury.
Important Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, and hyperthermia, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using heater.
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
- Always unplug heater when not in use.
- Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Do not use outdoors.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
- Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
- CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.
- This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances or other electronics working.
- CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
- To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet. Never pull by the cord.
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- CAUTION: Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or reloadable power tap (outlet/power strip).
- The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to avoid burns.
- CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot and fully insert.
- This heater may include an audible (a visual) alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting excessively hot. If the alarm sounds (flashes), immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE ALARM SOUNDING (FLASHING).
- Hyperthermia can result in death. Symptoms of hyperthermia include high body temperature, headache, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, dizziness, fainting, and rapid pulse. If you begin to experience symptoms related to hyperthermia, turn off the heater and seek medical attention.
- To avoid excessive room temperatures which can cause hyperthermia: DO NOT leave product running unattended in a confined space around infants, or individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.

Operating Instructions
Check before turning on the machine
- Check if the power cord is in good condition.
- The product uses a 120V AC power supply. Confirm that the power socket's rated current meets local requirements with a safe grounding device. If not, replace it with a qualified socket.
Start the machine
Plug the unit into a grounded 120V outlet. The power light will illuminate ('on'), indicating the heater is energized. Press the ON/OFF key (or the ON/OFF key on the remote controller) to start. The machine supplies air at high power, and the digital screen displays "HI".
Function setting
Repeatedly press the "Function" key to cycle through the heater modes: "high - low - ECO mode - fan - high".
Temperature setting
In ECO mode, press "+" or "-" to set the desired temperature, ranging from 41-95°F. The machine stops working and enters standby when the room temperature exceeds the set temperature by 4°F. It will resume heating when the temperature drops below the set point.
Timing function
When the heater is on, press the TIMER key to enter the timing stop state (0-12 hours). Use the "+" key to increase the timing stop time and the "-" key to decrease it.
Forced shutdown function
If the machine runs for 15 hours without any operation, it will automatically shut down.
Oscillation function
Press the "Oscillation" key to activate the oscillation function. Pressing it again turns it off. When the heating function stops, the oscillation function also stops.
Temperature sensor short circuit, open circuit protection function
If the temperature sensor experiences a short circuit or open circuit, the digital screen will display "E1" or "E2" and flicker continuously. Any key operation will be invalid, and the buzzer will sound 10 times.
Safety protection
In the start state, if the room temperature exceeds 122°F, all outputs will be closed. The digital screen will display "FF" and flash once per second. Key operations will be invalid; power cycling is required to exit protection mode.
Tip-over switch
As a safety measure, the unit will shut off automatically if it is knocked over. To reset, turn the heater off, stand it upright, and then switch it back on.
ECO energy saving function
Select the ECO energy saving gear and set the temperature. The heater adjusts its heating gear based on the comparison between ambient temperature and the set temperature.
Remote controller
The functions of the remote controller are essentially the same as the body operation panel. Use the remote within 16ft (5m) and 30° of the heater's control panel. The remote requires one 1.5V AAA battery (manganese or alkaline, recyclable). Do not mix old and new batteries, or different battery types (alkaline, carbon-zinc, rechargeable).
