Good heating! Operating instructions including timer and power consumption

We use this heater to heat up our bedroom by a few degrees in the morning. It's perfect for that. It is of very high quality, including the remote control. A couple of notes though: Nowhere in the manual have I found a statement that the unit will turn itself off if knocked over. You mentioned that it turns itself off when it overheats. I've experimented and found that tilting the device just 10-15 degrees causes it to turn off. When installing again, the device had to be restarted. The "Digital Timer" 0.5 to 24 hours is not an ON/OFF clock as it does not track days or times. It simply allows the user to set the number of hours until the device turns on (if it's off) and set the number of hours the device stays on (if it's on and running). Remembers only 1 number. Example: if you go to bed at 11pm and wake up at 7am (8am) you want the heater to heat the room up a bit from 5am, I would put (when the heater is off). set the timer to "6” (from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.). The timer doesn't know it's 11pm, it just follows the prompts to turn on the heat 6 hours after bedtime. Likewise, when the heating is on, the timer can be set to "3" so that it switches off after 3 hours at 8:00. He doesn't know it's 8 a.m. Only the last set of numbers is saved. Using the remote control, it is very convenient to turn the heater on and off, as well as set modes and timers. 15 Amp Circuit: The 900 watt low setting draws 7.5 amps and the 1500 watt high setting draws 12.5 amps at 120 volts AC. Keep this in mind when using the heater on a 15A circuit. On the 15 amp circuit of our dressing room, which includes our bedroom, my wife uses a hair dryer to "blow" the central circuit breaker. The heating must be switched off before using the hair dryer. 20 amp circuit: Many hair dryers draw 15 amps, leaving only 5 amps for heating in a 20 amp circuit. So a 20 amp circuit will also burn out trying to use a hair dryer and heater at the same time.
