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 INSPECTIONSteps 1 through 3 must be completed: 1) Plug the electrical cord into a 120 volt (AC) outlet. The plug should fit tightly into the receptacle 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- Indicator LightThermostatControl KnobWattageControl SwitchThermostatControl KnobModelEPA750 & EPA1000IndicatorLightsModelEPA1500/3Figure 2. 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 counterclockwise to a lower setting. (Multi-watt models: 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 temperature, turn the thermostat control knob counter-clockwise until the indicator light goes out, and the thermostat will maintain room temperature. Operation Instructions HEATER MAINTENANCE SOFTHEAT has no moving parts to wear out, so it is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is recommended to periodically remove the front cover (UNPLUG UNIT FIRST) and vacuum the lint or dust from the inside of the heater to maintain peak heat transfer into the air. Use caution when vacuuming to avoid damaging the aluminum fins.

No heating will occur when the thermostat is rotated to the full counterclockwise “OFF” position. How Softheat hydronic baseboards work: Inside a Softheat baseboard, a hermetically sealed water and anti-freeze solution is heated by an electric heating ele- ment. As the solution is heated, warmth is generated and transmitted through dozens of aluminum fins along the heater tube (it could initially take 30 to 60 minutes to warm a room, depending on the room size). As the warmth spreads outward from the heater, cooler air from the floor and wall nat- urally flow toward the base of the heater. "Convection air heat- ing" (See Figure 3) provides heat without fans, preventing the heater from blowing or burning dust particles. The room is warmed with even, comfortable heat without cold and hot spots throughout the room. While Softheat offers everyone a comfortably warm room, it was specifically designed to reduce the effects of indoor allergens, compared to other heating systems. Additional benefits include lower operat- ing surface temperature and whisper quiet operation.
