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 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.  
ALCI Safety Plug  
This heater is for use on 120 volts. This cord is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter. This  
plug has a “reset” button and the “test” button. This safety plug will trip when there is a leakage of current  
between the heater and the electrical outlet. If the unit is plugged in and not working, unplug the ALCI plug  
and press the reset button. This will reset the ALCI safety feature, and the heater will now function properly.  
Polarized Plug  
Warning: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric  
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the out-  
let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in  
any way.  
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.

ASSEMBLY  
TOOLS NEEDED: Phillips Head Screwdriver  
This heater requires assembly of the LEGS and WHEELS only. There are 3 ways to assemble the LEGS and  
WHEELS of the heater. The first way is to used both the LEGS and WHEELS. Assembling the heater in this  
manner will allow the heater to be rolled using the supplied wheels. The second assembly method uses the  
LEGS only, and the third method uses small RUBBER FEET (included) instead of the LEGS and WHEELS.  
Using the LEGS and WHEELS assembly, or LEGS only assembly will result in more stability and less chance  
of the heater possibly tipping over.  
LEGS and WHEELS assembly  
1. Attach the WHEELS to the LEGS using the supplied WHEEL SCREWS and WASHERS.  
2. Place the WHEEL SCREW inside the wheel (see Figure A below). The screw head should be placed  
between the WHEELS. The threads of the screw will show through the top of the WHEEL.  
3. Place the SMALL BLACK SPRING WASHER over the thread of the screw and on top of the wheel.  
4. Place the SMALL GREY WASHER over the thread of the screw and on top of the SMALL BLACK  
WASHER.  
5. Tighten the screw to attach the WHEEL to the LEG. Repeat this process for the other WHEELS and  
LEGS.  
6. After assembling the WHEELS and LEGS is complete, simply place the LEGS over the 4 LEG MOUNTS  
on the bottom of the heater. Once the LEGS are snapped in, assembly is complete.  
LEGS only assembly  
1. Place the LEGS over the 4 LEG MOUNTS on the bottom of the heater. Once the LEGS are snapped in  
assembly is complete.  
Rubber Stopper assembly  
1. Place each of the 4 RUBBER FEET on the bottom of the 4 LEG MOUNTS.  
2. Each RUBBER FOOT has a connector that must be placed inside the small hole on the bottom of the LEG  
MOUNTS.  
3. Assembly is complete once the RUBBER FEET are firmly attached to the LEG MOUNTS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
CONTROL PANEL  
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 on the heater and select a heat setting:  
On the control panel, turn the POWER SELECT dial to the desired setting: LOW (750W), HIGH (1500W),  
or ECO mode. Once LOW, HIGH, or ECO is selected, the Power indication light will turn on solid red.  
3. Adjust the thermostat by turning the THERMOSTAT dial on the control panel. The Heat indication light  
will turn solid yellow when the thermostat is turned to a point above the current room temperature.  
Continue to turn the thermostat to increase the room temperature. If the area becomes too warm, turn the  
THERMOSTAT dial down slightly until you reach a point where the temperature is more comfortable.  
4. Once you have chosen the desired temperature, the heater will remain on until the room temperature  
increases to the temperature set on the THERMOSTAT dial. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain  
the desired room temperature. The Heat indication light will turn on and off with the heater to display  
when the heater is in heating mode (yellow light is on) and when it is in standby mode (yellow light is off).  
5. Unplug the heater when not in use.  
NOTE: ECO mode is an Economic Energy Saving Function. When ECO mode is chosen the heater will  
consume one-third less power once the room temperature reaches the set temperature on the thermostat dial.

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.

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, turn the  
POWER dial to HIGH, LOW, or ECO mode..  
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 thermostat of the heater. Increase the  
temperature on the thermostat so the heater will continue operation or wait for the room temperature to  
drop below the set temperature on the heater.
