AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH INSTANT
TIP-OVER PROTECTION
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. Turn the Heat Control to the OFF (
O
) position.
2. Wait 15 minutes for the unit to cool down.
3. Push the reset button on the backside of the unit and
operate normally.
Tip-Over Shut Off:
When the unit is accidentally knocked over, it will
instantly shut off. To reset, simply place the heater in an
upright position.
MAXFLOW
TM
FAN SYSTEM
The patented MaxFlow
TM
Fan system incorporates a top
mounted fan and internal shroud to provide maximum
heat dispersion. The Maxflow
TM
Fan system is activated by
using the Mode Control Knob. It delivers a combination of
instant, penetrating warmth in the immediate area, as
well as forcing the heat out for entire room coverage.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully remove your heater from the box. (Please
save the carton for off-season storage.)
2. Make sure the unit is in the OFF position before
plugging the heater into the outlet.

high wattage appliances in the same outlet. At 1500
watts, this unit draws 12.5 amps.
NOTE: This unit is for FLOOR USE ONLY.

3. The Power Light will remain lit during operation.
4. Caution light illuminates in an overheat situation.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
1. You need to set thermostat on HI to start heater (See
Figure 1 and 2). Allow heater to operate and warm
up the room.
2. When the desired temperature/comfort level is
reached, lower the thermostat setting until the
fan/heater stops operating.

temperature level by turning the heater ON and OFF.
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.
