from the bottom (See Figure 1).
Thoroughly inspect your heater for any shipping
or handling damage and remove any paper or
packaging material found inside the heater. If

return the damaged heater to original purchase
location.

HEATER OPERATION
Notice:
This heater is a major electrical appliance
and requires adequate electrical connections for
safe use. Plug the heater directly into a wall or floor
receptacle when possible. If an extension cord is
required, use only a heavy duty cord rated for 15
amps minimum . No other major electrical appliance
should be operating on the same circuit.
How To Operate Your Heater
NOTE: Before operating heater,
HEATER INSPEC-
TION Steps 1 through 3 must be completed:
1) Plug the electrical cord into a 120 volt (AC) out-
let. The plug should fit tightly into the recepta-
cle for a proper electrical connection.
2) Rotate the thermostat control knob clockwise
until the light illuminates, indicating the heating
element is on. Model EPA1500/3 multi-watt units
have a second light (indicating the unit has
power) and a wattage control switch. (See
Figure 2)
3) Allow approximately one hour for the room tem-
perature to completely stabilize. If the room is
still too cool, turn the thermostat knob slightly
clockwise to a higher setting. If the room is too
warm, turn the thermostat knob slightly counter-
clockwise to a lower setting. (Multi-watt mod-
els: if the indicator light remains illuminated and
the room is not warm enough, set the wattage
control knob to the next higher rating.)
4) Once the room has reached a comfortable tem-
perature, turn the thermostat control knob
counter-clockwise until the indicator light goes
out, and the thermostat will maintain room tem-
perature.
