When power is provided to these heaters the
heater elements will take several minutes to
achieve full infrared output that can be confirmed
by an orange to dull red glow on the element
surface. The element under this condition is
operating between 1,500 and 1,600° F emitting
medium wavelength (approx. 3 microns or
millionths of a meter) infrared energy. This
energy, that can also be considered “radiation” is
not harmful, yet is very effective at heating
objects and surfaces that are within the
line-of-sight of the elements and the heater’s
reflective surfaces.
When power is provided or removed from these
heaters, you may hear unfamiliar sounds that are
caused by the expansion and contraction of metal
components in the heater. This is normal.
Pre-Season Maintenance and Annual Inspection
To ensure your safety and years of trouble-free operation from the heaters, periodic service and
inspections must be done by a trained maintenance person or licensed electrician.
To obtain maximum performance from your heater(s) each year, we recommend the following be
performed at the start of the heating season:
1. Disconnect power to heater at main panel. Be sure that heating elements have cooled down.
2. Clean housing surfaces with a damp cloth.
3. Blow or dust off the element.
4. Repair or replace damaged power cables.
5. DO NOT hose-down these heaters.
