OPERATION

Operation

1. Position the fan heater so that it stands upright on a firm, level surface (When used as a portable) and at a safe distance from wet locations and flammable objects.
2. Connect the fan heater to the proper electrical power. See grounding instructions (Figure 2)
3. Set the thermostat dial to the maximum temperature.
4. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat dial back until heating element turns off. The heater will cycle automatically around this preset temperature. To increase temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise. To lower temperature, turn the thermostat counterclockwise.
5. LOW setting on thermostat does not prevent heater from turning ON. Turn power switch to OFF or unplug from wall to prevent heater from turning ON. Before unplugging heater, turn power switch to OFF position.

IMPORTANT: This heater has a built-in Fan Delay designed to exhaust heat from the unit until the elements are cool (Cool Down Cycle). This improves energy efficiency. The fan may cycle on/off for a few minutes after the thermostat is set to the LOW position or power switch is set to OFF. This is normal and required to cool down heater and also prevent the safety limit from nuisance tripping.

i HOW TO RESET THE HEATER (SURESTOP™ SAFTEY LIMIT)

This heater is equipped with an internal safety limiting thermostat and overheat protection circuit.

If SAFTEY LIMIT light illuminates, an abnormal condition has turned off the heating elements. TO RESET, WAIT 10 MINUTES to allow the heater to cool down, then insert a small screw driver tip into the hole on the front of the heater marked "LIMIT RESET" and push firmly until you hear a click.

Thermostat Instructions

• At first, set the thermostat to “+” and let the heater operate with full power input. When the room temperature reaches the required value, turn the thermostat to the left until it switches off.
• The thermostat will then switch on and off automatically to control the room temperature according to the preset value and keep the room temperature constant.
• When using the heater for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. The heating element is made of steel and was coated with a layer of protective oil during production. The smoke is caused by the leftover oil as it is heated.

Grounding Instructions

• This heater is for use on 240 (or 208) volts. The cord has a plug as shown in figure 2 (below). No adapter is available for this blade configuration, and none should be used. The type outlet is a 240 (or 208) volt grounding outlet. When properly installed, it provides a ground connection through the cord to the heater to protect the operator from electric shock.
• Be sure that the electrical receptacle is of the configuration and capacity appropriate for the heater.
