When a potential overheat temperature is reached, the system will automatically shut the heater off. It can only resume operation when the user resets the unit. To Reset the Heater: 1. Unplug the Unit. 2. Wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool down. 3. After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate normally. PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Carefully remove your heater from the box. (Please save the carton for off-season storage.) 2. Place heater on firm level surface. 3. Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high wattage appliances in the same outlet. At 1500 watts, this unit pulls 12.5 amps. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Your heater is equipped with a technologically advanced "1 Touch" electronic thermostat. You can set the heater to run continuously in manual mode or set the "1 Touch" Thermostat to your desired temperature setting. The 1 Touch thermostat will automatically turn the heater ON or OFF depending on the preset comfort level. The comfort level ranges between 60. and 80. Fahrenheit. Manual Mode Instructions: 1. Plug the heater into a 120V AC electrical outlet. 2. To start the unit, push the MODE button once for the HIGH (1500 Watts) manual setting. (See fig. #1 and #2) 3. Press the button again for the LOW (1000 Watts) manual setting. (See fig. #1 and #2) 4. To stop the unit, press and hold the button for two seconds or keep pressing the button until all the temperature indicators are OFF. Note: The Power Light will remain lit during operation. In Manual Mode, only the LOW or HIGH power light will be lit. 1 Touch Thermostat Instructions: To take advantage of the 1 Touch Thermostat continue to press the MODE button until the desired temperature is set in either the HIGH (1500 Watt) or LOW (1000 Watt) setting. When ambient temperature rises above the set temperature, the heater will stop. When the ambient temperature drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on automatically. Note: When the 1 Touch thermostat is set, either the HIGH or LOW power light, and the set temperature light will remain lit during operation. (See fig. #1 and #2) Note: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to raise the thermostat setting. Note: 1 Touch has memory. The 1 Touch thermostat will remember the previous temperature setting after the unit has been turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged, the 1 Touch thermostat will be reset and will no longer remember the previous temperature setting. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE During Season Care: 1.
