SPECIAL FEATURES
SAFETY AUTO SHUT-OFF AND SAFETY CAUTION LIGHT: This Heater/Fan is equipped with
a safety auto shut-off, plus a safety thermal fuse and caution light. If the unit experiences
excessive heat, the safety auto shut-off will cycle the Heater/Fan off, and the caution
light goes on. If this occurs, turn the unit off immediately and check for any objects that
may be restricting airflow through the heater/fan. If the caution light continues to glow,
do not operate Heater/Fan. A cool-down period of several minutes may be required
before the Heater/Fan resumes normal operation. The safety auto-shut off device is
designed to operate if the heater is tipped over, front or back, and the airflow is blocked.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: To show that unit is switched on and operating, this
Heater/Fan is equipped with a power indicator light that illuminates whenever the heater
is plugged in and the function switch is turned on in any position. It continues to glow
even if the thermostat has cycled and the heating elements are off.
MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS HEAT: Turn the THERMOSTAT switch clockwise to the MAX
position and the function switch to the 1500-watt setting.
GRILLE GUARDS:
The grille guards on the front of the unit protect the safety grille from impact if unit falls
forward or tips over.
SAFETY TIP-OVER AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF:
As an additional safety feature, this Heater shuts off automatically when unit is tipped
over under certain conditions. If it is tilted either forward or backward, the Heater ceases
to operate, and the caution light is activated. In addition, the power indicator light
remains lit to show that the unit is plugged in and switched on. The caution light remains
on until the unit is switched off and unplugged. Once the unit is returned to a level
position, plugged in and switched on again, normal operation resumes.
