SAFETY FEATURES  
Tip-Over Safety Feature  
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety feature. Once the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will  
automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset. To  
continue operation, turn on the heater using the supplied remote control or the control panel on the heater.  
Overheat Safety Feature  
This heater is equipped with a overheat safety feature. When the heaters internal components reach a certain  
temperature that could cause overheat and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off. To reset the  
heater, unplug the heater power cord from the electrical outlet for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, plug the  
heater into the electrical outlet and turn on using the supplied remote control or the control panel on the heater.  
WARNING: This heater is for use on 120 volts. The  
cord has a plug as shown in A. An adapter as shown in  
C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-  
type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The grounding lug  
extending from the adapter must be connected to a  
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet  
box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot  
grounded receptacle is available.  
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF  
THE GROUNDED PLUG.  
WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the outlet  
and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet.  
Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
CONTROL PANEL & REMOTE OPERATION  
1. Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120V 60Hz power outlet. Only operate  
heater in upright position with caster wheels attached.  
2. Turn the heater on by pressing the On/Off button on the control panel or the supplied remote control.  
3. Select a heat setting:  
On the control panel, press the MODE button to toggle between the two heat settings; LOW (1000W) or  
HIGH (1500W) . When using the remote control press the HIGH or LOW buttons to select the preferred  
power setting.  
4. Adjust the thermostat by pressing the TEMPERATURE SELECT buttons (▲ or ▼) on the control panel  
or remote control. The digital readout will display the selected temperature.  
5. Once you have chosen the desired temperature, the heater will remain on until the room temperature  
increases to the temperature on the digital display. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the desired  
room temperature.  
6. This heater is equipped with a 12-hour automatic shut-off timer. To activate the timer, press the TIMER  
button on the control panel or remote control. Each press of the timer button will increase the heater  
operating time by one hour. The digital readout will display the number of hours you have selected. To  
turn off the timer, simply press the TIMER button until the digital readout displays your current selected  
temperature. Once you have selected a shut off time, the heater will operate for the selected time, then  
automatically shut off.  
7. The indication lights on the control panel communicate how the heater is operating. The TIMER light will  
turn-on when the timer is selected. When HIGH, LOW modes are selected, the corresponding lights will  
turn on accordingly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)  
OPTIMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS  
To get the most out of your Soleus Air Micathermic heater, follow these helpful hints:  
1. All electric heaters are limited to maximum of 1500 watts (per UL and ETL requirements). Due to this  
limitation all electric heaters can heat approximately 150 square feet. Micathermic heaters fit in this  
category, but they are able to provide a more comfortable and consistent heat than other heating  
technologies.  
2. For optimal performance, place the heater in a room and close all windows and doors. This will confine the  
heat to the area that needs it most.  
3. To save energy and in turn save money in the winter, place the heater in a room or area that needs extra  
heat instead of raising the thermostat on your central heating system. This heater will function very well as  
an additional heating source and can easily maintain the temperature in most rooms and attached  
bathrooms. There is no need to increase the heat in the entire house when you only need comfort in the  
room in which you are currently located.  
ABOUT ECO MODE  
ECO mode is an energy saving function that limits the amount of electricity consumed by the heater. Once the  
heater reaches a preset temperature, ECO mode will automatically turn on. Once ECO mode is on, the heater  
will decrease energy consumption to 1000 watts while still maintaining the set temperature on the digital  
thermostat.

MAINTENANCE  
1. Unplug the unit and let it cool completely.  
2. To keep the heater clean, the outer shell may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a mild  
detergent if necessary. After cleaning, dry the unit with a soft cloth. CAUTION: DO NOT let liquid  
enter the heater.  
3. DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive powders, furniture polish, or rough brushes to clean the  
heater. This may cause damage or deterioration to the surface of the heater.  
4. DO NOT immerse the heater in water.  
5. Wait until the unit is completely dry before use.  
STORAGE  
Store the heater in a cool, dry location when not in use. If available, use the retail packaging and pack up the  
heater to prevent dust from collecting on and inside the heater.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the heater will not operate, please check the following before seeking repair of service:  
1. Check if the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, if not, plug in.  
2. Check if electricity to the main fuse is working.  
3. Check if the heater is set to ON by confirming the light on the control panel is lit. If not, press the  
POWER button to turn on the unit.  
4. Check if the heater is on a level surface. If the tip-over safety mechanism inside the heater is engaged  
the heater will not run.  
5. The room temperature has reached the temperature on the digital display of the heater. Increase the  
temperature on the display so the heater will continue operation or wait for the room temperature to  
drop below the set temperature on the heater.
