GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
1.ALWAYS PLUG HEATERS DIRECTLY INTO A WALL OUTLET/RECEPTACLE. NEVER USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. DO NOT PLUG HEATER INTO ANY OTHER CORD CONNECTED DEVICE, SUCH AS A POWER STRIP, SURGE PROTECTOR, MULTIPLE OUTLET ADAPTER, CORD REEL OR OUTLET-TYPE AIR FRESHENER. THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZ- ARD. PLUG UNIT DIRECTLY INTO A 120V WALL OUTLET ONLY.
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 OVER- HEATING. IF NECESSARY HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK AND/OR REPLACE THE WALL OUTLET.
2.Use this Heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
3.Make certain that the room is equipped with a working smoke detector.

FUNCIONAMIENTO
1.Cuidadosamente retire el Calentador de la bolsa y de la caja.
2.Coloque el Calentador sobre una superficie firme y plana. ADVERTENCIA: 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. La Calentador no puede ser tapada en una 220 salida del voltio.
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.ENCIENDA el Calentador oprimiendo el Botón de Encendido (
).
5.Cuando se lo encienda por primera vez, el Calentador mostrará la temperatura actual de la habitación en ° Fahrenheit. Oprima
los botones (
) y ( ) al mismo tiempo para cambiar la pantalla a
° Celsius. Oprima los dos botones al mismo tiempo nuevamente para cambiar la pantalla y volver a ° Fahrenheit.
6.Al encender el Calentador, la unidad estará en calor ALTA (
) (1500 vatios) y mostrará la temperatura actual de la habitación (Figura 1).
7.Para APAGAR el Calentador, presione el Botón de Encendido (
) y desconecte el Calentador del tomacorriente eléctrico.

FUNCIÓN DE TEMPORIZADOR:
La función de temporizador puede ser activada cuando la pantalla del Calentador está en cualquier función. (Figura 2) Esta función le permite fijar la cantidad de tiempo que el Calentador estará funcionando antes de apagarse automáticamente, de 1 hora a 8 horas. Presionar el Botón de Temporizador (
) aumentará la cantidad de tiempo en 1 hora cada vez que dicho botón sea oprimido. Después que la pantalla refleje 8 horas, si presiona el Botón de Temporizador (
) una vez más, se reiniciará el Calentador para función continua. El Calentador se apagará cuando el tiempo fijado haya transcurrido. La unidad puede ser encendida
nuevamente presionando el Botón de Encendido (
).

CONTROL AUTOMÁTICO DE TEMPERATURA: (Figura 3)
1.Cuando el botón (
) o el botón ( ) esté presionado, la pantalla exhibirá la temperatura fijada y el símbolo (
) aparecerá.
2.Cuando alcance la temperatura en la cual desea establecer la unidad, la temperatura fijada titilará varias veces y luego la pantalla volverá a indicar la temperatura actual y cambiará gradualmente a medida que cambia la temperatura de la habitación. NOTA: la pantalla de la temperatura no indica la temperatura del aire caliente emitido por el calentador.
3.Cuando la temperatura del aire alcance los 2° por encima de la temperatura fijada, el Calentador se apagará.
4.Cuando la temperatura del aire alcance un 1° por debajo de la temperatura fijada, el Calentador se encenderá.
5.Esta función se cancelará si el botón (
) es oprimido. El Calentador ahora estará en calor Alta (
).
