SET-UP

Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from any wall or combustible material. DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep carpeting.

BE SURE THE HEATER IS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE IT MAY BE A TRIPPING HAZARD.

MOVING THE HEATER

Turn off the heater.

Allow it to cool for ten minutes.

Unplug heater and move it to the desired location. This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch Handle for your convenience.

OPERATION

NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING HEATER UNATTENDED

VersaHeat™ can either operate in the upright position or on its side.

All Purpose Heater Operation

- Plug the heater into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.

- The Power Button is equipped with three (3) settings: Fan Only (✗), Low (✗ and High (). The Low () heat setting uses 750 watts of power and the High (###) heat setting uses 1100 Watts of power. The Fan only (✗) setting uses very low power and does not provide heat. You can select the proper setting to accommodate your comfort level with the Power Button (☐). When you choose any setting, the red Power Light will come on. Because the Low (##) heat setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better option if you are concerned about amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting.

- The Timer Button ( ) is equipped with three (3) settings: 30 minutes (30m) one hour (1h) and two hours (2h). The timer option will illuminate once selected. The timer is not on if none of those three (3) timer settings are illuminated.

- To turn the unit off, press the power until none of the heat settings are illuminated and the red power light is off. Unplug the heater when you are finished using it.

SAFETY FEATURES

VersaHeat™ is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:

• A high temperature safety sensor prevents overheating. If activated, unplug the device and wait at least 10 minutes or allow the unit to cool completely. Make sure the operating conditions are safe and then plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.
• A thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a higher than normal temperature.
• A high temperature plastic and a cool to touch housing and handle.
• Thermal insulated wiring for heat resistance and reinforced wire connections to help protect against loose connections.
• An ALCI plug which functions by monitoring the current between the hot and neutral conductors in the heater. If the plug senses an imbalance of current, indicating a short, it cuts off power to the heater in a fraction of a second. An ALCI responds much more quickly to a fault than a typical circuit breaker.

CLEANING

We recommend that the VersaHeat ^™ heater be cleaned at least once a month and before off-season storage.

• Turn the heater OFF ( ⏻) and unplug it. Allow it to cool.
• Use a dry cloth only to clean the external surfaces of the heater. DO NOT USE WATER, WAXES, POLISHES OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.

STORAGE

Clean your VersaHeat™ heater using the above-mentioned steps. Wrap the cord around the unit. Place in its original box and store it in a cool, dry place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your VersaHeat™ heater shuts off unexpectedly or fails to operate, one of your heater safety features may have been activated to prevent overheating.

• Be sure it is plugged in and that the electrical outlet is working.
• Check for any obstructions. If you find an obstruction, turn the heater OFF ( ) and unplug it. Allow the heater to cool completely, then remove the obstruction. Wait at least 10 minutes, then plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.

Operation Cost* To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used by 0.001 to convert into kilowatts then multiply by your local kilowatt electric rate for however long you run the heater.

For example, if your electric rate is \0.1284** per kilowatt hour and you ran this heater in constant high mode (1100 Watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you \0.56 cents to run the heater (1100 Watts x 4 hours x 0.001) x 0.1284kwp = \$0.56 cents.

NOTE: Because the Low setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better option if you are concerned about the higher power consumption when the heater is on the High setting.

* Calculation (Total Wattage x .001 x hours used) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
