- Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near children or invalids. The Heater should not be left operating unattended. Never leave children unattended when the heater is on or plugged in.
- 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.

- Always unplug the Heater when not in use. Unplug the power cord before servicing or moving the Heater.
- 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 damage to the Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while it is in operation.

OPERATION
Figure 1 1.
- Carefully remove the Heater from the plastic bag and the carton.
- Place the Heater on a firm and level surface. Plastic or rubber tabs, like the feet on this unit, may stick to furniture surfaces and/or hardwood floors. The unit may leave a residue that could darken, stain or leave permanent blemishes on the finish of certain furniture surfaces, including wood surfaces, and/or hardwood floors.
- Plug the cord set into a 120-volt outlet.
Warning
- Be sure that the plug fits tightly into the outlet. When plugs fit loosely into receptacles, they may slip partially or completely out of the receptacle with only the slight movement of the attached cord. Receptacles in this condition may overheat and pose a serious fire hazard; if covered by a curtain or drape, the fire hazard is even greater.

- When initially turned on, the Heater will be in High heat (1500 Watts).
- Press the Power Button once and the Heater will be in Low Heat, indicated by the steady light beside Low.
- Pressing the Power Button a third time will make the heater go into Save-Smart® mode.
- Pressing the Power Button a fourth time will turn the Heater OFF. 10. When the Heater is turned OFF, the red light on the Heater will remain lit until the Heater is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
Save-Smart® Function (Figure 1) 1.
The Save-Smart® function default is at 75 degrees F. 2. When the air temperature is less than 75 degrees, the heater will run in HIGH heat. 3.
