Using Timer to turn unit on
AUTO SHUT-OFF
This function is meant for a person to preheat a room by
setting the timer. For Example: It’s 8 am, and you want to
come home to a warm room at 8 pm. To accomplish this
place the unit in the desired room and set the timer to
turn the unit on in 12 hours. Once the timer is activated
the unit will run for a preset time of 2 hours. The digital
thermostat will maintain the room temperature at a
default of 72ºF.
This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically-
advanced safety system that requires the user to reset the
heater if there is a potential overheat situation. 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) Hold mode button for 2 seconds to unlock remote.
2) DO NOT push mode again as this will turn unit on.
3) Push + and - together.
1. Unplug the heater and wait 20 minutes for the unit to
cool down
2. After the 20 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate
normally.

Within this unit are heat-panel filaments that get warm in a
matter of seconds and hold their temperature evenly. The
air surrounding these filaments heats up, rises, and flows
out into the room. Cooler air is then drawn in to replace the
warm air and the process continues like a revolving door.
Because there is no fan, there is almost no noise.

Note: While using the remote, the backlight function will
turn on when any button is pushed and will turn off after
10 seconds of non-use.
Note: If the batteries are running low on power, a low
battery indicator will appear on the remote. Low batteries
will affect transmission distance and the screen contrast.
We recommend replacing batteries immediately.
Note: Do not cover remote while in use, this may affect
the accuracy of the temperature reading.
Note: Do not place remote under lamps as the radiant
heat from the lamp may affect the accuracy of the
thermostat.

Note: Because heat rises, and the GalileoTM remote senses
temperature, Bionaire recommends that you do not locate
the GalileoTM remote higher than 4ft from the ground. By
locating the GalileoTM more than 4 ft from the ground, you
will get a less accurate temperature reading than under
normal circumstances.
