Operating the heater...
1. Turn the "Thermostatic Control" (Fig. B) to the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120 volt, 60 cycle circuit which serves nothing else. Because the heater is a 1000 watt appli-
ance, it is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch during operation.
Note: The signal light will glow whenever the cord is plugged into an outlet to indicate the heater is electrically
activated.
Caution: Plug directly into a wall outlet. This heater is not intended for use with an extension cord.
3. Turn the "Thermostatic Control" knob to its "HI" position. There may be a vibrating or humming sound when the heater
is turned on. This is normal and should last only about a half minute. When using the heater for the first time, there may
also be a slight odor or light smoking as manufacturing coatings "burn" off. This, too, is normal during the first several
uses.
4. Allow the heater to operate on its "HI" setting for at least three minutes to bring the heating element to its optimum
operating temperature. Anytime after that, the "Thermostatic Control" knob may be adjusted to a position that provides
the desired comfort level.
Remember, after the "Thermostatic Control" knob is turned to any ON position below "HI", the heater will be continually
turning itself ON and OFF to control the heat output. This may not always be obvious because, due to residual heat in
the heating element, it will continue to glow at most settings. You may also hear a slight "clicking" or humming sound
as the automatic switch cycles the heating elements ON and OFF, or, when in a darkened room, see a small spark or flash
of light.
If additional heat is desired, turn the "Thermostatic Control" knob to a higher setting. This will lengthen the ON cycle
and the heater will produce more heat. If less heat is desired, turn the knob to a lower setting. The ON cycle will then be
shortened, producing less heat.
5. After use, turn the "Thermostatic Control" knob to the OFF position and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet. Always
disconnect by grasping the plug, not the cord. Pulling on or yanking the cord can damage the cord's insulation and wires,
making the heater unsafe to use. Warning: Never use a heater with a damaged cord.
Care, Cleaning and Storage...
Allow heater to cool completely before any care or cleaning or storage. Also be sure heater is turned off and
unplugged.
1. Do not pour or spray any water, cleaners, or any liquid on or into any portion of the heater. Do not submerge heater in
any liquid.
2. Use a soft lint free damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean the exterior surfaces. Harsh or abrasive cleaners will damage
the finish.
3. Occasionally, the parabolic reflector inside the grille will need to be cleaned to remove dust accumulation. To remove
dust from the parabolic reflector, you may purchase a specially designed cleaning device such as the one offered on the
Important Instructions sheet enclosed. You may also dust the reflector by following these simple steps: 1) Unplug the
heater and allow to cool; 2) support the heater on its back; 3) slip a soft lint free cloth through the grille; 4) move the
cloth over the surface of the parabolic reflector by inserting a long thin handle (such as a dowel or the handle portion
of a wooden spoon) through the grille, using it to slide the cloth from spot to spot over the surface of the reflector;
5) remove the handle and the cloth when the surface is dust free.
Note: If you allow dust to build up on the parabolic reflector, the dust accumulation may cause the heater to
overheat and the warning buzzer to sound. If this should occur, clean the parabolic reflector as previously instructed.
Once the dust is removed, the heater should work normally again. If however after cleaning, the heater does not work
properly or the buzzer continues to sound, send the heater to the Factory Service Department listed on page 5.
4. Wrap the cord around the base pedestal and store heater in a dry location.
