Infrared Heaters - Important User Tips


Initial Setup

  1. Unpackage heater: cut open tape area, fold back flaps and gently turn entire box upside down. Lift box from styrofoam packing. Remove styrofoam, turn upright. We recommend keeping the packaging for off season storage and any transporting needs.

  2. Find a level and unobstructed location to place the unpackaged heater.

  3. Plug the power cord directly into an unused grounded 110 volt 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle.

  4. Insert 2 "AAA" batteries into the battery compartment on the remote control.

  5. Push the "Power" button located on the front of the heater or the remote control to turn the heater on. Set the Mode Key to "Auto". Adjust the "temp up" and "temp down" buttons until the desired temperature is reached. Once the desired temperature is reached the heater will cycle on an off to maintain the room temperature. When the heater is set on "Auto" mode and cycling off and on, it has been equipped with an Energy Savings feature. The unit will run on full power until it gets to within 2 degrees of the desired temperature. At this point it will automatically go into an energy savings mode which shuts down 2 of the heating elements and lowers the fan speed. Not only will this save energy, it also keeps the room temperature closer to the desired temperature. If the room temperature should fall below 2 degrees of the desired temperature, the unit will return to the full power mode until the desired temperature is reached again.

  6. Switch the Mode Key to "High" in order to have the heater stay on high heat and not cycle off and on.

  7. To turn the heater off, press the "Power" button. The fan will continue to run until all of the heater has been expelled and then will turn off.

  8. The heater is equipped with a temperature limiting control contained inside the unit. If the heater stops working, shut the power off and let the unit cool down. Turn the power back on and resume use. If the unit continues to shut down or the unit does not reset itself, please contact us for service.


Heater Storage

When the heater is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please do the following:

  1. Unplug heater.

  2. Wind up electrical cord so as to keep it off of the ground.

  3. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on filter or internally.

  4. Store the heater in a dry, low dust environment.


Performance Suggestions

  1. For best results, place the heater near a warmer inside wall and direct the output towards a cooler outside wall.

  2. Try lowering your central heating system to a lower temperature and placing the heater in the area where you spend the majority of your time.

  3. If used in an extremely dirty or dusty area, the filter must be cleaned more frequently for maximum performance.
