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. The heater will
automatically reset itself once the internal temperature decreases to acceptable levels.
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 outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED 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 (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 SELECT dial to LOW or HIGH 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 manual thermostat. 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.
