Unit is designed to be used as a supplemental heat source in conjunction with a
primary heat source.
Your unit should always be positioned on an inside wall with proper insulation.
The heater provides supplemental heating for up to 1000 sq/ft in conjunction
with a primary heat source.
The back and side of the heater should be greater than 6 inches away from ob-
jects for proper air intake.
Plug unit directly into the wall outlet.
Check your heater cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or
loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tight
in the outlet. Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of
the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances.
During use check frequently to determine if your plug outlet or faceplate is
HOT! If so, discontinue use of the heater and have a qualified electrician check
and/or replace the faulty outlet(s).
Replace control panel circuit board.
Turn the POWER to "OFF" and unplug the unit from the wall outlet for 5 min-
utes. After 5 minutes plug the unit back into wall outlet, and operate as normal.
