m
WARNING!
• Read all instructions before using the heater.
• DO NOT plug the heater into any other cord-connected
device such as: power strip, surge protector, multiple
outlet adapter, grounding adapter, outlet-type air
fresheners, or extension cords. Plug into a 3-prong, 120V,
15 amp or higher grounded circuit receptacle only.
• DO NOT plug the heater into a loose fitting or broken
receptacle.
• DO NOT alter the heater's design; doing so will void the
warranty.
• DO NOT block the front or rear of the heater.
• DO NOT place anything directly in front of the heater.
• DO NOT cover the unit, as this may block air flow and
cause the heater to malfunction.
• DO NOT use the heater outdoors or for heating
construction sites.
• This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry
areas, and similar damp or humid indoor locations. Never
place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.
• DO NOT force the filter to dry using any alternative
methods when performing filter maintenance; any method
other than air drying could damage the filter.
• DO NOT run the power cord under carpeting.
• DO NOT cover the power cord with throw rugs, runners,
or similar covers. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas
where it will not be tripped over.

• To disconnect the heater, first turn the power off, then
remove the plug from the outlet.
• To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or
exhausts in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, such
as a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any
other use may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
• DO NOT use this heater in or around a bathtub, shower, or
swimming pool.

Suggestions for Best Performance

To use the heater most efficiently, a minimum of 30% relative
humidity should be maintained, which is fairly standard in most
homes. If you are unsure of humidity level, you can purchase a
hygrometer rather inexpensively at most any hardware store.
NOTE: If you do not have a humidifier and need to increase
the humidity level in your house, you can bring a pot of water
to a boil and allow most of the water to evaporate into the air.
The added humidity that this introduces to the room will allow
the infrared heater to more effectively heat your home.
• If using the heater in a room with a bare concrete floor,
you should place the heater no less than 3 feet above the
floor, and in a secure location where it will not fall. Bare
concrete floors tend to absorb the heat.
• Place the heater in a room where the most time is spent
during non-sleep hours, such as the family den. Set your
central heating system a few degrees lower than normal
(typically 3 to 5 degrees), and let your infrared heater
warm the room.
• If using the heater in a very large room, try placing it near
the center of the room.
