Bionaire BH3950 - Silent Whole Room Heater Manual

This heater is equipped with a patented, technologicallyadvanced, safety system that automatically shuts off the current to the heater when a potential overheat temperature is reached. The heater can only resume operation when you reset it.

TO RESET THE HEATER

If your heater shuts down, follow these steps:

Turn Power (button A) to OFF (O) and Thermostat to High (fully clockwise).
Unplug the heater and wait 30 minutes.
Plug in the heater, turn the power ON, and turn the Heat level button (B) to High ( l l ).
Your heater should now be operating properly.

TIP-OVER SHUT-OFF

If the heater is knocked over, it will instantly shut off. To resume operation, simply place the heater in an upright position and turn ON the heater.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Handle / Wheel / Front Foot Assembly

There are two wheels, one wheel mounting bracket, one front foot, two screws, and a handle packed within the box that you will need to attach to the heater (Please refer to Figs.1–6). NOTE: Wheel assembly must go on the back and stand assembly must go on the front.

Push the handle into the front housing of the heater (as shown in Fig. 1). The handle will snap into place and is not meant to be taken apart after it is attached to the heater.
Turn the heater upside down.
Place the foot onto the bottom of the FRONT of the heater (same side as control panel and as shown in Fig.2). Secure the foot with one of the provided screws (as shown in Fig.3).
Place the wheel mounting bracket onto the bottom of the back of the heater (as shown in fig. 4), (same side as the power cord). Secure the wheel mounting bracket with the second screw provided (as shown in Fig.5).

Using force, insert the wheel into one of the holes on each side of the mounting bracket (as shown in Fig.6). They will snap into place and are not meant to be taken apart after assembly.

NOTE: This unit should not be operated without the feet properly secured on the bottom of the heater.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully remove your heater from the box.
Make sure the heater is OFF before plugging the heater into the outlet.
Place the heater on a firm, level surface.
Avoid overloading your circuit by not using other high wattage appliances in the same outlet. At 1500 Watts, this unit draws 12.5 Amps.

Turn Thermostat knob (C) fully clockwise.
Depress Heat Level button to high ( l l ), and allow the heater to warm up.
When the desired comfort level is reached, lower the Thermostat until the heater stops and the temperature light turns off.
The system now maintains the selected comfort level by automatically turning the heater ON and OFF.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the heater before cleaning. And allow to cool.

Lightly run a vacuum cleaner nozzle over the heater grill to remove any dust or dirt that may have accumulated.
Carefully wipe the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Please be very cautious near the heating elements.
NEVER use abrasive or flammable solvents to clean the heater.
After cleaning, be sure to completely dry the heater with a cloth or towel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your heater fails to operate or if there is no heat:

Make sure the power button is ON. Depress ( l ) on button A.
Check the thermostat setting; it might be set too low. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the heater restarts.

Be patient. Give the heater time to heat up.
