SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
1) Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2) To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120 V AC
electrical outlet.
3) The 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 ft (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep
them away from the sides and rear.
4) DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs,
runners , or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it
will not be tripped over.

lar indoor locations. NEVER locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub
or other water container.

or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
7) Always unplug the heater when not in use.
8) When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
9) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH
CERAMIC CONTROL
This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically-advanced safety
system that requires the user to reset the heater if there is a potential
overheat situation. When a potential overheat temperature is reached,
the system will automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume
operation when the user resets the unit.
To Reset the Heater:
1. Unplug the Unit.
2. Wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool down.
3. After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate normally.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully remove your heater from the box. (Please save the carton
for off-season storage.)
2. Place heater on firm level surface.
3. Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high wattage
appliances in the same outlet. At 1500 watts, this unit pulls 12.5
amps.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your heater is equipped with a technologically advanced "1 Touch"
electronic thermostat. You can set the heater to run continuously in
manual mode or set the "1 Touch" Thermostat to your desired
temperature setting. The 1 Touch thermostat will automatically turn
the heater ON or OFF depending on the preset comfort level. The
comfort level ranges between 60º and 80º Fahrenheit.
Manual Mode Instructions:
1. Plug the heater into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. To start the unit, push the MODE button once for the HIGH (1500
Watts) manual setting. (See fig. #1 and #2)
3. Press the button again for the LOW (1000 Watts) manual setting.
(See fig. #1 and #2)
4. To stop the unit, press and hold the button for two seconds or keep
pressing the button until all the temperature indicators are OFF.
Note: The Power Light will remain lit during operation. In
Manual Mode, only the LOW or HIGH power light will be lit.
1 Touch Thermostat Instructions:
To take advantage of the 1 Touch Thermostat continue to press the MODE
button until the desired temperature is set in either the HIGH (1500
Watt) or LOW (1000 Watt) setting. When ambient temperature rises
above the set temperature, the heater will stop. When the ambient
temperature drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on
automatically.
Note: When the 1 Touch thermostat is set, either the HIGH or
LOW power light, and the set temperature light will remain lit
during operation. (See fig. #1 and #2)
Note: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it
maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit from
cycling, you need to raise the thermostat setting.
Note: 1 Touch has memory. The 1 Touch thermostat will
remember the previous temperature setting after the unit has
been turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged, the 1
Touch thermostat will be reset and will no longer remember
the previous temperature setting.
