- To disconnect heater, first turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

- This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
- It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
- The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- A Power Switch
- B Thermostat Control
- C Power Indicator Light
- D Temperature Limit Light
- Place the heater on a firm level surface free from obstructions, and at least 3 ft. away from any wall and any other objects such as furniture, curtains, plants or combustible material.
- With the Power Switch “A” in the ”OFF” position, plug the heater into a grounded 120V outlet.
- Turn the heater ”ON” by turning the Power Switch “A” to “OFF”, “FAN”, or “HEAT”. The Power Indicator Light “C” will illuminate.
- Set the desired temperature by turning the Thermostat Control switch “clockwise” to increase the temperature or “counterclockwise” to decrease the temperature.
IMPORTANT!
Your heater is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
CAUTION: This heater includes a Thermal Cut-Off Overheat Protection System that shuts the heater off if it overheats due to abnormal conditions. If this occurs, turn the heater ”OFF”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or adjacent to the heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume normal operation.
- PATENTED ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your Disc Furnace is built to last and deliver outstanding performance for years. Unlike other portable heaters, it uses a patented electronic temperature control that automatically monitors the exact room temperature and compensates for heat loss. As a result, maximum comfort and energy efficiency are realized. - TEMP LIMIT (Red Light)
When the thermostat control switch is set at or below the current room temperature, the TEMP LIMIT light will turn ON. The heater’s internal fan will operate at a very low level in order to sense the room temperature but the heating elements will turn off. When the thermostat control switch is set above the current room temperature, the TEMP LIMIT light will turn OFF. The unit will increase the level of heat until it reaches the selected temperature. When the unit is in the HEAT position and is tipped over, the TEMP LIMIT light will turn ON indicating that the unit is shutting OFF. - PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IN ROOM
For most efficient heating, place the heater on the floor where the air is cooler, and about 3 feet from any wall. To heat your room, the heater will be most efficient when placed near an outside door, the bottom of a staircase, or where colder air is most likely to be entering the room. - CLEANING THE DUST FILTER
The filter collects dirt and dust from air circulating through the heater. To clean the filter, rinse it with warm water and allow it to dry before reinstalling.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
This heater has additional features:
- Ambient Temperature Sensor – senses the surrounding room temperature and automatically adjusts the heat output.
- Safety Tip Over Switch – shuts the heater off if it tips over.
- Convenient Carry Handle – allows for easy transport from room to room.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your heater fails to operate, please follow these instructions:
