IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this Heater.
DO NOT PLUG HEATER INTO ANY OTHER CORD CONNECTED DEVICE, SUCH AS A POWER STRIP, SURGE PROTECTOR, MUL-
1.
TIPLE OUTLET ADAPTER, CORD REEL OR OUTLET-TYPE AIR FRESHENER.THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD. PLUG UNIT DIRECTLY INTO A 120V WALL OUTLET ONLY.
2.
AVOID THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS BECAUSE THE EXTENSION CORD MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A RISK OF FIRE.
HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE TO USE AN EXTENSION CORD, MINIMIZE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING BY USING THE SHORTEST
CORD POSSIBLE AND BY ENSURING THAT IT IS UL LISTED. THE CORD SHALL BE A 3-WIRE, GROUNDING TYPE, WITH NO. 14
AWG MINIMUM SIZE AND RATED NOT LESS THAN 1875 WATTS (15A). NEVER USE A SINGLE EXTENSION CORD TO OPERATE
MORE THAN ONE HEATER. NEVER USE A CORD REEL.
WARNING:
Faulty wall outlet connections may cause the wall outlet to overheat. Be sure that heater plug fits tightly into outlet
before each use. During use, check to make certain the Heater plug is not overheating. If necessary have a qualified electrician
check and/or replace the wall outlet.
3.

or injury to persons.
4.
Make certain that the room is equipped with a working smoke detector.
5.
Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Heater.
6.
Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left oper-
ating unattended.
7.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
8.

FUNCIONAMIENTO
Figura 1
1. Cuidadosamente retire el Calefactor de la bolsa y de la caja.
2. Coloque el Calefactor sobre una superficie firme y plana.
CUIDADO:
Los tacos de plástico o hule, tales como las patas
de esta unidad, pueden pegarse a la superficie de los muebles y/o
a los pisos de madera. La unidad podría dejar un residuo capaz de
oscurecer, manchar o dejar marcas permanentes en el acabado de
ciertas superficies de muebles, incluyendo superficies de madera
y/o pisos de madera.
3. Conecte el cable a un tomacorriente de 120 voltios.
Asegúrese que el enchufe encaje firmemente en el
tomacorriente.
Cuando los enchufes quedan flojos dentro de
los tomacorrientes, podrían deslizarse parcial o
completamente fuera del tomacorriente con el menor
movimiento del cable adosado. Los tomacorrientes en
este estado podrían sobrecalentarse y representar
un peligro de incendio grave; si queda cubierto por
una cortina o tela, el peligro de incendio es todavía
mayor.
4.
Cuando el Calefactor se conecte por primera vez, se oirá un "bip" y
la Luz de Encendido se encenderá indicando que hay electricidad
en la unidad. La Luz de Encendido permanecerá encendida hasta
que el Calefactor sea desconectado del tomacorriente eléctrico.

8. Oprimir el Botón de Encendido por tercera vez APAGARÁ el
Calefactor.
9. Cuando el Calefactor está APAGADO, la luz roja en la parte frontal
del Calefactor permanecerá encendida hasta que el Calefactor sea
desconectado del tomacorriente eléctrico.
Función de Oscilación:
1.
Oprimir el Botón de Oscilación (OSC) le permitirá al Calefactor
oscilar hacia atrás y hacia delante. Para detener la oscilación,
vuelva a oprimir el Botón de Oscilación (OSC). Cuando el
calefactor esté en control automático de temperatura, la función
de oscilación se detendrá cuando se alcance la temperatura fijada
y reiniciará cuando el calefactor vuelva a encenderse.
Función de Temperatura
1. Para ambientar la habitación a una temperatura específica, oprima
el Botón de Temperatura (TEMP) hasta la posición deseada. La
luz debajo de la temperatura seleccionada continuará titilando
hasta que la habitación alcance la temperatura deseada. Cuando
el botón de temperatura esté colocado en la posición MAX, la
unidad no se apagará cuando. Para mayor eficiencia, el termostato
sólo funcionará en calor ALTO.
