Windmere Heat Pro Ceramic Heater WCH10WCH11 User Manual

							IMPORTANT:
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice a slight odor.
This is normal and will quickly disappear.
This heater is intended for use on a flat, stable surface, such as a floor,
tabletop, shelf, or desk in a location where the airflow grille openings
wonÕt be obstructed. Keep all combustible materials such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, paper, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (.9 m) away
from the heater. Do not use in wet or moist locations, like bathrooms or
laundry areas, or in areas where paint or other flammable or volatile
liquids are used or stored.
CAUTION:Be sure no other appliances are plugged into the same circuit
with this heater/fan. A circuit overload could occur.
1. Be sure the Dial is in the OFF position before plugging the unit in (A). 
Plug into an AC outlet. Turn the Room Select Dial to the appropriate 
setting using High for large rooms and Low for smaller area. The 
POWER indicator will light up.
2. Turn the Thermostat Control toward the highest level (HOT) to start in 
order to activate the heater/fan. Once the desired room temperature is 
achieved, lower the Thermostat Control back down until the fan cycles 
off. The heat will now cycle On/Off to maintain a comfortable level.
3. To use as a fan without heat, turn the Dial to FAN and the Thermostat 
Control toward the highest level (HOT) until the fan begins to operate. 
No heating will occur in this mode.
SPECIAL FEATURES
1. This unit is equipped with a Safety Auto-Off, plus a Thermal Fuseand 
CAUTION light.  If the unit experiences excessive heat, the Safety 
Auto-Off will shut the unit off, and the CAUTION light will go on. If this 
happens, turn the Dial to Off immediately. Be sure the grille is not 
blocked and nothing is restricting airflow. If the CAUTION light stays 
on, unplug the unit, let it cool down, and wait 10 minutes before 
plugging it back in to operate. Readjust your temperature or room 
settings. If the unit fails to operate after 10 minutes, it may mean the 
heater has internal damage and that the Thermal Fuse has been 
tripped so the heater can no longer operate.
2. The POWER Indicator Light shows that the heater is switched on and 
operating. It continues to glow even if the thermostat has cycled and 
the heating elements are off.  Note that even though this unit has a 
Cool-Touch Housing, the front grille will get hot.Be careful not to 
touch it.This appliance is permanently lubricated and will not require additional
lubrication for the life of the unit. It contains no user serviceable parts.
Refer service to qualified service personnel.
1. Always turn the unit OFF, unplug, disconnect the cord from the outlet, 
and allow the heater to cool completely before cleaning. To clean the 
exterior, use a soft dry cloth or one moistened with a mild detergent to 
wipe the outside surfaces. Do not use abrasives or harsh cleansers. 
Dry surfaces thoroughly before using the heater. Or, you can use a 
vacuum with a dusting brush attachment to clean away dust.
2. Press the Tab on the Dust Filter at the back of the unit and pull the Dust 
Filter straight up to remove it (B). Wash it in soapy water, rinse, and let 
it air dry completely before putting it back into the heater. Snap the filter 
securely back in place.
CAUTION:DO NOT immerse the heater in water or allow water to drip into
the interior of the heater, as this could create an electric shock hazard.
3. Store the heater in a dry area. Gather the power cord in loops and 
secure it with a twist tie. DonÕt let the power cord come in contact with 
sharp edges or get compressed by heavy objects. Portable electric 
heaters are designed for space heating as a supplementary heat 
source. They are not intended be the main source of heat.

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following.
DO NOT COVER the unit. This means that the airflow through the inlet
and exhaust openings must never be obstructed.
nPLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
nThis heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin 
touch hot surface. Unplug and let heater cool down for at least 
5 minutes before moving it.
nDo not use the unit in enclosed spaces such as inside cabinets or 
walls in order to defrost pipes or prevent pipes from freezing.
nUse the handle to move the unit.
nTo reduce the risk of fire, keep combustible materials, such as 
furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet 
(0.9 m) from the front, sides and rear of the heater.
nDo not plug heater into loose-fitting or worn out electrical outlets.
nExtreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near 
children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating. Avoid 
leaving an operating heater unattended.
nAlways unplug from electrical outlet whenever heater is not in use. 
Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance. To disconnect heater, 
turn control to OFF, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
nDo not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after 
the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. 
Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for 
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call 
the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
nNever wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place 
undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to
fray and break. DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD 
SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY 
OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. If the supply cord is damaged, it must 
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly 
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
nThis heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and 
similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may come in 
contact with water, such as near a bathtub or sink. If the heater does 
become wet, unplug it from the wall receptacle before touching it, as 
a wet heater may create an electrical shock hazard even if the heater 
is turned off.
nDo not use outdoors.
nTo avoid overheating of the cord, do not cover any part of the cord 
with carpet, throw rugs, runners, newspapers, magazines, furniture, 
etc. Arrange cord away from trafficked areas, so it will not be tripped 
over or stepped on.
nDo not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or 
exhaust opening, as this may cause an electrical shock, fire or 
damage to the heater.
nTo prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any 
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces (such as a bed) where openings 
may be blocked or heater can fall over.
nA heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in 
areas where gasoline, paint or other volatile or flammable liquids are 
used or stored.
nAvoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may 
overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if an extension cord must 
be used, it must be a minimum size of 14 AWG and rated not less than 
1875 watts. Use only an extension cord that is UL listed.
nTo prevent electrical overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other 
appliances are plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into 
another outlet wired into the same circuit.
nDo not place any objects in front of heater.
nDo not place the heater near a bed, because objects such as pillows 
or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.  
nDo not use this heater as an integral part of any life support or 
equipment protection system, where a functional failure or 
misapplication of the heater could jeopardize the people or things 
being protected.
nAvoid using heater/fan while sleeping.
nUse heater only as described in this manual. Any other use is not 
recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electric shock 
or injury to persons.
nThis heater includes a visual Caution light to warn that parts of the 
heater are getting excessively hot. If the Caution light begins to glow, 
immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects on or 
adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. Do not 
operate the heater with the caution light glowing.
nThis appliance is intended for household use only, not for commercial 
or industrial use.  Use for anything other than intended will void the 
warranty.
