Store in dry location during off-season months.

Tip: Use heater cover or store in original box when not in use for extended periods.

Energy Saving Tips

Maximize efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Use lower heat settings for maintaining temperature rather than heating cold rooms.
Close doors and windows in room being heated.
Use thermostat to maintain consistent temperature rather than turning on/off frequently.
Heat only occupied rooms.
Ensure proper insulation in room for better heat retention.

Safety Features

Built-in safety mechanisms for protection.

Tip-Over Switch: Automatically cuts power if heater is tilted more than 45 degrees. Overheat Protection: Thermal cut-off activates if internal temperature exceeds safe limits. Stable Base: Low center of gravity prevents accidental tipping. Cool-Touch Surface: Exterior remains safe to touch during operation.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Use soft, dry cloth only; do not use liquids or cleaning sprays.

CAUTION! Never immerse heater in water or any liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may damage surface.
