To assure maximum performance of your
BioSmart® Far Infrared Heater
,
please review the following recommendations:
Do not locate the heater in an area with a high air exchange rate in and out of the
room. Heat produced should be contained in the room.
Try placing the heater near a warmer inside wall and direct the output toward a
cooler outside wall. The cooler outside wall will tend to draw the generated heat
towards it, which will allow for more efficient heating.
Placing the heater next to a cold air return will draw the heat away from the area to
be heated. Try closing or covering the cold air return. This will allow for more
efficient heating.
To ensure maximum efficiency, a 30% minimum relative humidity should be
maintained in the heated environment. This is usually not a concern.
The heater is designed to operate for maximum efficiency in the 68-74 degree
range. Due to the soft heat concept, as explained earlier, temperatures at 68 degrees
F feel as though it were 72 degrees F. This is due to the heat mixing with humidity
evenly for head-to-toe comfort.
When the heater is placed in an isolated area, i.e. basement or recreation area, any
existing HVAC heating system vents should be closed in that area, if possible. This
allows the heater to maintain the isolated area more efficiently.
If placing the heater a few feet above the floor, such as in rooms with large areas of
bare concrete, make sure the heater is secure and won‖t fall. This will allow for
more efficient heating since concrete acts as a heat sink and will tend to draw the
heat in its direction. Optimally, concrete floors should be covered to provide some
insulation factor from the concrete.
Set your central heating system to a lower temperature. Place the heater in the area
you spend the most of your time. Now set the heater to your comfort level. There is
no point in heating multiple rooms to 68+ degrees F when not in use.
When heating larger areas, place the heater in a central location.
If the heater is used in an extremely dirty or dusty area, the filter must be cleaned
more frequently to maintain heater performance.
