ADVERTENCIA:
Los tacos de plástico o hule, tales como
las patas de esta unidad, pueden pegarse a la superficie de los
muebles y/o a los pisos de madera. La unidad podría dejar un
residuo capaz de oscurecer, manchar o dejar marcas permanentes
en el acabado de ciertas superficies de muebles, incluyendo
superficies de madera y/o pisos de madera.
3. Conecte el cable a un tomacorriente de 120 voltios. La
Calentador no puede ser tapada en una 220 salida del voltio.
Asegúrese que el enchufe encaje firmemente en el
tomacorriente.
Cuando los enchufes quedan flojos dentro de
los tomacorrientes, podrían deslizarse parcial o
completamente fuera del tomacorriente con el menor
movimiento del cable adosado. Los tomacorrientes
en este estado podrían sobrecalentarse y representar
un peligro de incendio grave; si queda cubierto por
una cortina o tela, el peligro de incendio es todavía
mayor.
4. ENCIENDA el Calentador oprimiendo el Botón de Encendido ( ).
5. Cuando se lo encienda por primera vez, el Calentador mostrará
la temperatura actual de la habitación en ° Fahrenheit. Oprima
los botones ( ) y ( ) al mismo tiempo para cambiar la pantalla a
° Celsius. Oprima los dos botones al mismo tiempo nuevamente
para cambiar la pantalla y volver a ° Fahrenheit.
6. Al encender el Calentador, la unidad estará en calor ALTA ( ) (1500
vatios) y mostrará la temperatura actual de la habitación (Figura 1).
7. Para APAGAR el Calentador, presione el Botón de Encendido
( ) y desconecte el Calentador del tomacorriente eléctrico.

temperatura fijada, el Calentador se apagará.
4. Cuando la temperatura del aire alcance un 1° por debajo de la
temperatura fijada, el Calentador se encenderá.
5. Esta función se cancelará si el botón ( ) es oprimido. El
Calentador ahora estará en calor Alta ( ).
