Performance suggestions
To assure maximum performance of the heater, please note the following recommendations:
1.
For best result, do not locate the heater in an area with a high rate of air filtration and
movement as the warm air will be exhausted.
2.
Try placing the heater near a warmer inside wall and direct the output towards a cooler outside
wall. The cooler outside wall will tend to draw the generated heat towards itself, which will allow
for more efficient heating.
3.
Placing the heater next to a cold air return will draw the heat away from area to be heated. Try
closing or covering the cold air return. This will allow for more efficient heating. Experiment with
the placement of the heater to see what works best for you.
4.
To ensure maximum efficiency, a 40% (minimum) relative humidity should be maintained in the
heated environment.
5.
The heater is designed to operate for maximum efficiency up to 80-82 degree range. Due to the
soft heat concept, temperatures at 68 degrees feel as though it were 72 degrees. This is due to
the heat mixing with humidity evenly for “head-to-toe” comfort.
6.
When the heater is placed in an isolated area, i.e. basement or recreation area, the delivery
registers and air return grills of the existing system should be closed in that area if possible.
7.
Try placing the heater a few feet above the floor 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.
8.
Try lowering your central heating system to a lower temperature and placing the heater in the
area you spend the majority of your time. Now set the heater to your comfort level. This will
help reduce your overall energy consumption.
9.
When heating larger areas, place the heater in a central location. If a ceiling fan is nearby, try
using it at the same time to help distribute the heat evenly.
