Black and Decker Heat Pro Ceramic Heaters BDCH11 Series 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 Fuse
and 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
HOW TO USE
UTILISATION
ENTRETIEN ET NETTOYAGE
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plugÑone blade is wider than the
other.  To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way.  If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician. Do 
not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in 
any way.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion
marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should
be serviced and the line cord replaced. 
5. Never 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.
SPECIAL ATTENTION:
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if it is
absolutely necessary, be sure that the cord is (1) No. 14 AWG
minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts; (2) UL Listed; 
(3) as short as possible (long cords can overheat, as well as trip
circuit breakers); (4) not used for operating more than one appliance
at a time.
