Assembly Instructions
Unpack your heater and find the wheel-holding plate and butterfly nuts between the fins assemblies.
- Make sure the heater is unplugged and in the “OFF” position.

- Turn the heater upright. Your heater is now ready to use.
Diagram Description (Fig.1): An illustration of the oil-filled radiator on its side, showing the attachment points for the wheel-holding plates and castors. Labels indicate 'Roll caster', 'Butterfly nuts', 'Vertical axis', 'Wheel-holding plates', and 'Metal control box'. The wheel-holding plates are shown securing the castors to the base of the radiator.
⚠ WARNING: Risk of fire. Do not operate heater without wheel assemblies attached. Operate heater in upright position only (wheels on bottom, controls on top). Any other position could create a hazardous situation. Ensure that the surface beneath the heater is clean and free of any obstructions. It is not recommended that this heater be placed on high-pile carpeting or any other surface that impedes the flow of air underneath the heater.
CAUTION: This heater includes an Overheat Protection System that shuts the unit off if it overheats due to abnormal conditions. If this occurs turn the heater “OFF”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or adjacent to the heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume normal operation.
Operation
The control panel features a Timer Display (A), Temperature Display (B), Mode Display (C), and Function Button (D). The main buttons are for Temperature Decrease (▼), ON/OFF (⏻), Temperature Increase (▲), Timer, and Mode.
Control Panel Functions
- A: Timer Display - Shows set timer duration (e.g., 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h).
- B: Temperature Display - Shows set temperature (e.g., 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 ℉).
- C: Mode Display - Shows current operating mode (HI, LO, ECO).
- D: Function Button - Used for various settings.
- Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during transportation when first using the heater.
- Place the heater on a firm level surface, at least 3ft. (0.9m) away from any wall and any other objects such as furniture, curtains, plants or combustible material.
- Plug into standard 120 V AC, 60 Hz source.
IMPORTANT: Your heater is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
