Warranty - Cadet RCP502S Owner's Manual

1. The heater must be properly installed before
it is used. Be sure the plug fits tightly into the
receptacle. The red light indicates the unit is
plugged in.
2. Do not operate without the stand attached.
3. Do not use breaker panel or wall thermostat to
control heater.
How to Operate Your Heater
1. Select the "LOW" wattage setting. If your desired temperature is not reached, select the "HI" setting.
NOTE: The temperature of the air coming from the front of the heater will be approximately 40˚F warmer than the room temperature, in
the "HI" setting. With extremely cold environments, air from the heater may not feel hot. As the heater continues to operate, the heater
air and surrounding air temperature will continue to increase.
2. Select 'AUTO' to operate the heater with the thermostat.
3. Turn the thermostat fully clockwise. The heater will start.
NOTE: The fan will operate approximately 20 seconds after startup. This allows the elements to heat before blowing air, eliminating cold
startups. Fan operation will continue for approximately 90 seconds after elements shut off to disperse residual heat.
4. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until you hear a click sound. The heater will
automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
5. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counter clockwise. To increase the room temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
"ON" SETTING
The fan can be operated continuously when set to the "ON" position. For cooling or air circulation (when no heat is desired), turn the
thermostat to the 'OFF' position by rotating the thermostat knob counter clockwise.
NOTE: If the thermostat is turned to a setting above room temperature, the elements will turn on and heat the area until the
temperature reaches that set point. Once the elements go off, the fan will continue to run. This cycle will continue.
About the Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
The heater is protected by a high temperature manual reset control, designed to open the heater circuit
when excessive operating temperatures are detected.
Resetting the Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
If the manual reset limit control has opened the heater circuit due to excessive operating temperatures,
the heater will not work or may blow cold air until the limit reset button is pressed. After allowing the
unit to cool for at least 10 minutes and resolving the problem causing the limit to trip (typically the heater
is blocked or needs cleaning); use a narrow object such as a ball-point pen to access the reset button
through the lower-right hole marked "RESET". Press FIRMLY. If the manual reset continues to trip, see
Troubleshooting Chart.
For more effective and safer operation and to prolong the life of
the heater, read the Owner's Guide and follow the maintenance
instructions. Failure to properly maintain the heater will void any
warranty and may cause the heater to function improperly. War-
ranties are non transferable and apply to original consumer only.
