LOCATION
This Infrared Heater uses quartz infrared heating elements and heat exchangers to produce safe and
economical heat. The quartz infrared heating elements transfer heat to the heat exchangers. In turn,
the fan moves the warmth from the heat exchangers through the room.
To gain the most benefit from the infrared heater, we recommend the following:
1. Place the heater near an inside wall of the room. Face the front of the heater toward the
center of the room, in the direction of one of the cooler outside walls of the house. This will
direct the heat across the room, toward the outside walls, and result in more even heating
throughout the room.
2. Limit the amount of airflow through the doors and windows of the room you are heating. Lower
air flow into and out the room will increase the efficiency of the heater.
3. Very high or very low levels of humidity will affect the heating efficiency. For best results, the
relative humidity of the room to be heated should be about 40%.
4. Well-insulated rooms that meet local codes will heat more evenly and efficiently. Poor
insulation will result in greater heat loss, and will reduce the efficiency of the heater.
5. For safety, and improved efficiency, keep the area around the heater free from clutter. This
will improve the airflow into and out of the heater.
6. Always keep the heater out of high-traffic areas. This will prevent accidents that could be
caused by tripping over the cord, or the heater itself. Please refer to the
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on pages 3 and 4 for more safety information.
