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

FUNCIONAMIENTO (Figura 1 a 3)
1.Cuidadosamente retire el Calefactor de la bolsa y de la 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.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.
4.Cuando el Calefactor se conecte por primera vez, se oirá un “bip” y la Luz de Encendido se encenderá indicando que hay electricidad en la unidad. La Luz de Encendido permanecerá encendida hasta que el Calefactor sea desconectado del tomacorriente eléctrico.
5.ENCIENDA el Calefactor oprimiendo el Botón de Encendido (
).
6.Cuando se lo encienda por primera vez, el Calefactor 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.
7.Al encender el Calefactor, la unidad estará en calor ALTO (
) (1500 vatios) y mostrará la temperatura actual de la habitación (Figura 1)
Pantalla al ser encendido por primera vez
Figura 1
8.Oprima el botón (
) para calor BAJO (
). (900 vatios)
9.Para APAGAR el Calefactor, presione el Botón de Encendido (
) y desconecte el Calefactor del tomacorriente eléctrico.
Función de Oscilación:
Presionar el Botón de Oscilación (OSC) permitirá al Calefactor oscilar hacia atrás y hacia delante. Para detener la oscilación, oprima
el Botón de Oscilación (OSC) una vez más.
Función de Temporizador (Figura 2)
La función de temporizador puede ser activada cuando la pantalla del Calefactor está en cualquier función o velocidad. Esta función le permite fijar la cantidad de tiempo que el Calefactor 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 Calefactor para función continua.

El Calefactor 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)
Oprimir el botón (
) o el botón ( ) le permite a usted fijar la temperatura deseada del Calefactor.
1.Cuando el botón (
) o el botón ( ) esté presionado, la pantalla exhibirá la temperatura fijada y el símbolo (
) aparecerá.
2.Oprima el botón (
) para aumentar la temperatura fijada deseada o presione el botón ( ) para reducir la temperatura fijada deseada.
3.Cuando la temperatura del aire alcance los 2° por encima de la temperatura fijada, el Calefactor se apagará.
4.Cuando la temperatura del aire alcance un 1° por debajo de la temperatura fijada, el Calefactor se encenderá.
5.Esta función se cancelará si el botón (
) es oprimido y el Calefactor ahora estará en calor Alto (
).
NOTA: Es normal que el “ventilador” del calefactor funcione durante aproximadamente 5 segundos después que el calefactor se haya apagado tras alcanzar la temperatura.
