Just bought a Life Smart infrared quartz heater, black 2ft tower. Some problems and suggestions.

Model is PCHT1053US.

First, the 7 switch labels are much too faint. I can only read close up.
Huge design error.

Second, the 7 switch labels are out of logic order in 2 rows of 5 and 2.
In the operation manual, #1 is POWER, not LOCK, which is not mentioned!!  Second is MODE, and #3 is THERMOSTAT UP/DOWN ARROWS for 2 buttons. #4 is the TIMER and #7 is OSCILLATE.
But the actual buttons are in disarray!!

Third, this manual covers 4 different heaters, so accurately not mine.
Especially the display screen icons are totally neglected! Idiots. There is no Efficiency in misinformation!!

4th, the top row logically should be POWER, MODE, PAN, CLOCK and LOCK. With the second row 2 buttons for UP and DOWN. Logical.

5th, I like how hot 90 degrees the heater gets and would probably still buy it on Amazon.
