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.DO NOT PLUG HEATER INTO ANY OTHER CORD CONNECTED DEVICE, SUCH AS A POWER STRIP, SURGE PROTECTOR, MUL- TIPLE OUTLET ADAPTER, CORD REEL OR OUTLET-TYPE AIR FRESHENER. THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. PLUG UNIT DIRECTLY INTO A 120V WALL OUTLET ONLY.

2.AVOID THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS BECAUSE THE EXTENSION CORD MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A RISK OF FIRE. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE TO USE AN EXTENSION CORD, MINIMIZE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING BY USING THE SHORTEST CORD POSSIBLE AND BY ENSURING THAT IT IS UL LISTED. THE CORD SHALL BE A 3-WIRE, GROUNDING TYPE, WITH NO. 14 AWG MINIMUM SIZE AND RATED NOT LESS THAN 1875 WATTS (15A). NEVER USE A SINGLE EXTENSION CORD TO OPERATE MORE THAN ONE HEATER. NEVER USE A CORD REEL.

WARNING: Faulty wall outlet connections may cause the wall outlet to overheat. Be sure that heater plug fits tightly into outlet be- fore each use. During use, check to make certain the Heater plug is not overheating. If necessary have a qualified electrician check and/or replace the wall outlet.

3.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.

4.Make certain that the room is equipped with a working smoke detector.

5.Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Heater.

6.Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left operating unattended.

7.This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

8.Do not operate any Heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the Heater malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Please contact Customer Service at 800-233-0268 Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm EST for assistance.

9.To disconnect Heater, turn the Heater OFF then remove the plug from the outlet.

DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG HEATER BEFORE LEAVING THE AREA. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THE HEATER IS ON OR PLUGGED IN.

10.Always unplug Heater when not in use. Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the Heater.

11.Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock, fire, or dam- age the Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while it is in operation.

12.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not place on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

13.Always place the Heater on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid the chance of the Heater overturning. Locate the Power Cord so the Heater or other objects are not resting on it. DO NOT run Power Cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange Power Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be tripped over.

14.This Heater is HOT when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Always use handle when moving this Heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the Heater and keep them at least 1 foot (0.3 m) from the sides and rear.

15.A Heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. DO NOT use the Heater in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored. DO NOT use Heater in locations where flammable or explosive chemicals are stored, or in wet atmospheres. This Heater is intended for general use ONLY.

16.This Heater is not intended for use in wet or damp locations. This Heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. NEVER locate a Heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

17.DO NOT use Heater outdoors.

18.This Heater is not suitable for use in agricultural facilities including areas where livestock, poultry or other animals are confined. Please refer to National Electric Code (NEC) Article 547-7 (2002), or applicable state or local codes or standards relating to electrical requirements for Agricultural Buildings.

FUNCIONAMIENTO (Figura 1)

1.Retire cuidadosamente el Calefactor de su bolsa y caja.

2.Coloque el Calefactor sobre una superficie firme y plana. CUIDADO: 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.Cerciórese de que la Perilla de Encendido del Calefactor esté en la posición de APAGADO (0) antes de enchufarlo a un tomacorriente.

4.Conecte el cable a un tomacorriente de 120 voltios.

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.

5.Cuando el Calefactor se enchufa inicialmente, la luz roja se encenderá para indicar que la unidad está recibiendo electricidad. La luz roja permanecerá encendida hasta que el Calefactor sea desenchufado del tomacorriente.

6.Gire la Perilla de Encendido a la posición deseada. () para Sólo Ventilador, (1) para Calor Bajo (900 vatios) y (2) para Calor Alto (1500 vatios).

7.Para hacer funcionar el Calefactor, gire la Perilla del Termostato a la posición más alta () (Véase las instrucciones del Termostato).

8.Al oprimir el Botón de Oscilación () el Calefactor podrá oscilar de un lado al otro. Para detener la oscilación, oprima el Botón de Oscilación () otra vez.

9.Para apagar el Calefactor, gire la Perilla de Encendido a la posición de APAGADO (0), y desconecte del tomacorriente eléctrico.

FUNCIÓN DE SEGURIDAD

1.Se incorpora un protector para sobrecargas térmicas a fin de impedir el sobrecalentamiento.

2.Si se alcanza una temperatura de sobrecalentamiento, el Calefactor se apaga automáticamente.Sólo podrá reanudar su funcionamiento una vez que se reinicie la unidad. (Véase las instrucciones de reinicio más abajo).

Para Reiniciar el Calefactor:

1.Desenchufe el Calefactor y espere 10 minutos para que la unidad se enfríe.

2.Después de 10 minutos, enchufe el Calefactor nuevamente y siga la INSTRUCCIÓN DE FUNCIONAMIENTO que se describe en este manual de instrucciones.

CONSEJOS PARA IDENTIFICAR PROBLEMAS

Si su calefactor se apaga inesperadamente o no funciona, es probable que la función de seguridad descrita anteriormente se haya activado para impedir el sobrecalentamiento.

1.Cerciórese de que el cable eléctrico esté enchufado en un tomacorriente en buen estado.

2.Revise su posición del Termostato. El Calefactor podría estar apagado porque alcanzó la temperatura deseada.
