Operation
Figure 1
CAUTION: Ensure that the unit is placed on a firm,
level surface and not located directly below a convience
electrical outlet before operation.
A. On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch supplies power to all unit functions. There
is a light which indicates when the appliance is on.
B. Thermostat
To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements,
turn the thermostat control clockwise all the way to turn
on the heater. When the room has reached the desired
temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until
you hear a click. Leave in this position to maintain the room
temperature at this setting.
For additional heat, turn clockwise until you hear the click
again and the heater will turn on.
!
NOTE: Should the heater fail to come on when the thermo-
stat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature
being higher than the thermostat setting.
Maintenance

W ARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or damage to persons.
The appliance contains no moving parts, therefore little
maintenance is required beyond vacuum cleaning. It is
however essential that the heater is not operated with an
accumulation of dust or dirt on the heater, as this can cause
a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this reason
the heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon
conditions and at least at yearly intervals.
