and other controls cannot be touched by a
person in the bath.
19. Avoid the use of an extension cord because it
may cause the heater to overheat.
20. CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to
inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched
on and off by the utility.
21. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced

supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
22.(For 120 & 127V with two flat pins only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

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 26˚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.
B
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,
Fig. 1
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.
