OPERATIONAL INFORMATION

The Mr. Heater Electric forced air heaters are designed to be used by professionals.
Heat is created by electric current passing through coiled metal elements bringing them up to very high temperatures. The fan then passes room air over the hot elements exchanging cold air for warm.
The air moving over the coils keeps them from reaching temperatures that are not safe for the normal operation of the heater. However it is important to keep all combustible materials and any objects that may be sucked into the fan blades at a safe distance (please refer to the specification table for appropriate clearances). Make sure that the fan blades remain unobstructed at all times. Keep unit clean and dust free. Do not block unit intake or exhaust at any time.
These units are designed to be used only with the cord and plug supplied with the unit. Do not use any plug other than the one supplied by the manufacturer. For information on which receptacle is appropriate to your heater.
If damage has occured please refer to the parts listing in this manual and contact the manufacturer for a replacement.


Outlet must be properly grounded, failure to do so may result in electric shock or property damage.


Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or re-locatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

  2. Flip the power switch into the "off" position
  3. Disconnect plug from power supply

NOTE: This heater is equipped with an overheat limit switch which may cause the heater to stop.

This can take up to 10 minutes to cool before it can be restarted.
