READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE HEATER
Operation –
7 step set-up for SunTwin
®
Heater
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 of the remote control.
5) Push the “Power” button either on the control panel or remote control.
6) Set the temperature by pushing the “Set/Temp” button. It is recommended
that you start at the highest setting as the room heats up, decrease the
temperature to maintain your desired level of warmth. Once a comfortable
setting is reached the heater will cycle off and on as needed to maintain your
desired comfort level.
7) The control panel lights will turn off approximately 10 minutes after
starting the unit or adjusting temperature. This is a “sleep” feature; your
unit is still running.
Operation • Care • Service
Why does the Blower Fan keep running after I have turned off the
rocker switch?
The Blower Fan will continue to run until the proprietary heat chambers
have cooled down. After a few minutes the fan will shut off automatically.
Can the heating elements be replaced?
Yes. You would contact your local service center by visiting our website at
www.rppurchase.com or by calling 1-866-786-8946.
The heater’s airflow seems to have diminished?
Make sure the rear intake is not blocked and that the filter is clean. Follow
the Filter Maintenance procedure on page 5.
Once I initially plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to
heat my room?
Generally, it takes less than an hour. Please remember that with any type of
heating process there are many variables. Size of the room, how well the room
is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (which acts as
a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior
door, etc…
Can I use the heater to heat multiple rooms at the same time?
Yes. Keep in mind the heating will vary based on how open your floor plan
is and the sizes of the rooms involved. We have heard back from customers
stating that with the help of ceiling fans they have been able to heat multiple
rooms simultaneously by placing the unit in a central room. Our suggestion,
give it a try and see what works best for you.
My home is not insulated very well, will this heater help me?
Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the
heat as efficiently.
Can I use the heater if I have vaulted or cathedral ceilings?
Yes, but it will take a little longer to heat the room initially. Once the room
has reached the desired temperature it will cycle on and off accordingly.
Can the heater be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended due to the high level of moisture in a bathroom.
Will I be able to use the heater in a basement or garage?
Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the
heat as efficiently. Bare concrete floors which act as a heat sink with any
type of heating will absorb some of the heat. Placing the heater a few feet
above the floor will allow for more efficient heating.
Can I use more than one heater at a time?
Yes, but you should make sure they are not on the same circuit. Each
