Positioning the Heater
When positioned correctly, the parabolic heater will keep you toasty warm. Follow these
suggestions for maximum warmth:
1. Point the front grille towards the area in which heat is desired and use the tilt feature
to aim the heat right where you want it.
2. Check to make sure there are no objects between you and the heater. Such objects
will absorb the heat and prevent it from reaching you.
3. Place the heater at least 3 feet but no more than 10 feet away. The parabolic design
of the reflector focuses heat at persons 3 to 10 feet away. Thus, for your entire body
to enjoy the heat produced by the heater, it must be placed at least 3 feet from you.
Placing it closer will turn the heater into a foot warmer, rather than a body warmer.
Experiment with various positions until you find the one that is right for you.
4. Remember, this unit is primarily a people heater rather than a room heater and using
it to heat a large room or open area is not recommended. The infrared heat produced
by this heater will travel through glass, just like the sun’s rays. If the heater 1s aimed
at a window, objects outside will be heated.
