OPERATION
Infrared Technology Basics
1. Air enters the heater through the washable air filter at the rear of the unit.
2. Heat is transferred from the quartz infrared heating elements to the heat exchangers that
surround them.
3. The fan moves the filtered air over the heat exchangers. As the air moves over the heat
exchangers, heat is transferred to the air.
4. The heated filtered air circulates within the chamber and continues to increase in temperature.
5. Finally, the filtered warm air is directed out the vent at the front of the heater.
6. The result is an evenly-heated room that remains at a comfortable temperature.
Read and understand this entire owner’s manual, including all safety information,
before
plugging this heater in. Failure to do so could result in electric shock, fire,
serious injury, or death.
Power
Plug the power cord into a 110~120 Volt 15-Amp grounded outlet (see
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS on Pages 3 and 4). Make sure the outlet is in good condition and that the plug is
not loose.
NEVER exceed the maximum amperage for the circuit. DO NOT plug other appliances into
the same circuit.
Temperature Limiting Control
This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limiting Control. Should the heater reach an unsafe
temperature, the heater will automatically turn OFF. To reset:
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Inspect the heater vents. If clogged with dust or lint, clean them with a vacuum.
3. Plug the power cord back into the outlet.
4. If it switches off again,
UNPLUG THE HEATER RIGHT AWAY! Have the outlets, wiring, and
breaker box inspected by a professional. Make necessary repairs before using the heater.
