Safety Instructions

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER. WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to get rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small crackling sounds when you turn it on for the first time.

1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving the unit. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. Keep the rear grille away from walls or drapes so as not to block the air intake.
3. Extreme caution and supervision is necessary when any heater is used near children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. 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 the heater to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. 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.
8. Do not place power cord under carpeting. Do not cover power cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Do not route power cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange power cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove the plug from the outlet.
10. Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
11. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.
12. To prevent 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.
13. A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
14. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other damage to property.
15. To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into another outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
16. It is normal for the heater's plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet/receptacle may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.
17. Ensure the heater is on a stable, secure surface to eliminate the potential of it tipping over.
18. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
19. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Please remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically for signs of overheating or deformations evidenced on the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.
20. Check that neither the appliance nor the power cord has been damaged in any way during transportation.
21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between elements of the appliance. It may be necessary to clean the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.

DANGER: High temperatures may be generated under certain abnormal conditions. Do not partially or fully cover or obstruct the front of this heater.

CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 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 switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, hold down both the ⬆️ and ⬇️ buttons simultaneously for approximately two seconds.

Celsius Mode:

• If room temperature is < -1°C than set temperature, output power is HI.
• If room temperature is > +1°C than set temperature, the heater will stop heating and the fan will stop operating in 30 seconds.

Fahrenheit Mode:

• If room temperature is < -2°F than set temperature, output power is HI.
• If room temperature is > +2°F than set temperature, the heater will stop heating and the fan will stop operating in 30 seconds.

Protection System

6. Over-temperature Protection

If the temperature sensor detects a room temperature above 122°F (50°C), the unit will turn off. The power indicator will flash and a buzzer will sound.

Note: A trace of smoke or odor may be present when the unit is first turned on due to manufacturing oil on the heating coil. This is normal and should evaporate quickly.

Remote Control Batteries

• The remote control uses two (2) "AAA" batteries (not included).
• Replace batteries with new, identical ones if the remote malfunctions.
• Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for long periods.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different battery types (alkaline, carbon-zinc, rechargeable).

Battery Disposal: Dispose of used batteries according to municipal or provincial law.
