1. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch
hot surface. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children
or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the
heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or
mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathroom, laundry areas and
similar moist indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall
into a bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it will
not be tripped over.
9. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in
a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
10. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading
a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other
appliances working.
11. It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit
between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or
worn outlet.
12. To disconnect the heater, first set controls to the OFF position, then grip
the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

13. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
14. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
15. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
16. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
17. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may
overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an
extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and
rated not less than 1875 watts.
18. The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become
intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recom-
mended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to
react to avoid burns.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SITUATING YOUR TWO ZONE HEATER
Your heater has been designed with a variety of use situations in mind.
The basic uses are:
1. Combined: Both heat modules attached to each other, used as a single
heat source.
2. Separated: Each heater module in a different position, connected by the
interconnect tether.
3. Independent (ACH-260 Only): Use the two modules as completely
separate heaters.
COMBINED
Place the heater where desired, taking careful note of the safety guidelines
listed in Section 3 of this manual. Please see the Controlling Your Heater
section for further instructions.
TETHERED
A unique aspect of your Two Zone Heater is the ability
to locate the two heater modules in separate locations.
To separate modules:
1. Hold the TOP MODULE by the handle with one hand,
and place other hand on the rear top surface of the
BOTTOM MODULE.
2. Pull the TOP MODULE forward, tilting the back of the
TOP MODULE up and away from the BOTTOM MOD-
ULE.
3. Once the rear of the TOP MODULE is clear of the BOT-
TOM MODULE, lift it up and the modules will separate.
To combine modules:
1. Hold the TOP MODULE by the handle, tilting the module
down in front at about a 45 degree angle.
2. Lower the front edge of the TOP MODULE down so the
locking tabs fit into the receiving tabs on the BOTTOM
MODULE.
3. Once the tabs have engaged, lower the rear of the TOP MODULE until it is firmly
seated.

To make routing the interconnect cord
easier, it can be disconnected from the base
unit, and reconnected after you’ve located
the module where you want it.
INDEPENDENT (ACH-260 ONLY)
The ACH-260 cord connection is a standard
wall plug head. You may plug the satellite
module in to any regular outlet, and con-
trol it independently from the base unit – a
completely separate heater. The base has a
standard AC outlet – remember never to
plug anything other than the satellite
heater module into this outlet.
3. CONTROLING YOUR HEATER

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
If your heater shuts off unexpectedly, safety features may have been activated
to prevent overheating. If this happens:
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• AUTO mode: Check to see if the light marked “AUTO” on the control
panel is illuminated. If it is, the heater may simply be off because the
heater has reached the set temperature. To resume operation, either press
the AUTO button to switch from AUTO MODE to manual, or increase the
set temperature using the UP button.
• Check for any obstructions. If you nd one, turn the heater OFF and unplug
it. Wait at least 10 minutes to allow the heater to cool completely before
removing any obstruction. When done, plug-in the heater and follow the
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
• Be sure the heat from one module is not being drawn into the intake for the
other module. This will create an overheat situation, shutting down your
heater. If this has occurred, turn off and unplug the heater and allow it to
cool for at least 10 minutes. Plug in the heater and resume operation.
