PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully unpack your heater from the box (it is

recommended to save the box for summer

storage).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Your heater is equipped with a technologically

advanced electronic thermostat. You can set the

heater to run continuously in manual mode or

set the thermostat to your desired temperature

setting. The thermostat will automatically turn

the heater ON or OFF depending on the preset

comfort level. The comfort level ranges between

16˚C and 24˚C.

Manual Mode Instructions:

1. Plug the heater into the wall socket.

2. To start the unit, press the Mode ( )

button once for the 2 manual setting. (See

Figure 2)

3. Press the Mode ( ) button again for

the 1 manual setting. (See Figure 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 Indicator will remain lit

during operation. In Manual Mode, only the 1 or

2 power light Indicator will be lit.

THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS

To take advantage of the thermostat, continue to

press the Mode ( ) button until the

desired temperature is set in either the 2 or 1

setting. When the 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 thermostat is set, either the 2

or 1 power light indicator, and the set

temperature light will remain lit during operation.

(See Figure 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. When the preset

temperature is made, the fan will run for 30

seconds without heat. This cool down process

ensures an accurate and consistent temperature

reading.

NOTE: The thermostat has memory. The

thermostat will remember the previous

temperature setting after the unit has been

turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged, the

thermostat will be reset and will no longer

remember the previous setting.

PIVOTING HEATER

For improved heat circulation, your heater

comes with a manual pivot. The top half of your

heater pivots to the left and right for better heat

distribution. The bottom half of the heater is

stationary and will not turn. (See Figure 1)

Do not swivel the unit beyond the point of

resistance.

AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF

This heater is equipped with a 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, (e.g. if the heater was accidentally

covered) the system will automatically switch the

heater off. Operation can only be resumed if the

user resets the heater as detailed below.

To Reset the Heater

1. Unplug the heater and allow 30 minutes for

the heater to cool down.

2. After 30 minutes plug the heater in and

operate normally.

3. If the heater does not work normally,

repeat steps 1 and 2 again.

TIP-OVER SHUT-OFF

instantly shut off. To reset, simply place the

heater in an upright position and press the

Mode ( ) button it will operate normally.

example during the summer, it should be stored

in a dry place and preferably covered to prevent

the accumulation of dust and dirt.
