Frequently Asked Questions - Portable Buddy MHBE150FAT Mr. Heater

How to turn on the Portable Buddy MHBE150FAT heater?

Plug the device directly into a 120 V outlet. Turn the power knob clockwise to select the mode: fan only, low heat (1000 W) or high heat (1500 W). Adjust the thermostat according to your preference.

How to adjust the thermostat on this heater?

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the maximum. When the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the knob counterclockwise until the heating element clicks off. The thermostat will then automatically maintain that temperature.

What safety features are built into the MHBE150FAT?

The device has an automatic shut-off when tipped over (switch at the bottom) and overheat protection with manual reset. In case of overheating, unplug the device and wait 15 to 30 minutes for it to cool down before reusing.

What safety distance should I maintain around the heater?

Maintain a distance of at least 91 cm (3 feet) between the front, sides, top, back of the device and any combustible material (furniture, curtains, bedding, etc.).

Can I use an extension cord with this heater?

No, you must plug the device directly into a wall outlet. Never use an extension cord, power strip, or multiple outlet to avoid the risk of overheating and fire.

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the outlet works. Make sure the device is upright on a flat surface. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the maximum. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.

This is normal: the thermostat automatically adjusts operation to maintain the set temperature. If you want to avoid these cycles, adjust the thermostat to a different position or switch to fan-only mode.
