Congratulations on purchasing a Schaefer HotZone™ Electric Patio Heater. Your new heater should give you many years of
maintenance-free comfort. Unlike forced air heaters, HotZone™ heaters have no moving parts and warm people and
objects, but not the air, with infrared radiation.
HotZone™ heaters have a patented, lobster eye inspired, compound reflective lens that focuses and directs the infrared
energy into a beam (or a spot). These lenses are lightweight aluminum grids that look like a four-walled honeycomb
structure and are capable of magnifying without overheating.
Because HotZone™ heaters focus and direct the infrared energy into a beam:
• HotZone™ heaters can be installed out of the way of people and equipment.
• The radiant intensity is much less sensitive to distance from the heater (your head doesn't cook while your feet freeze).
• They deliver between three and five times as much infrared energy to the spot, compared to a similar powered,
unfocused high intensity infrared heater.
• They will raise the surface temperature of a 14 square foot area by 15° with a single 1500 watt heater mounted
eight feet above it.
Plan your installation by identifying the area you want heated and how much temperature increase you need. Imagine the
heater as a kind of floodlight and place it so as to cover your target area with enough heat.
Model HZE-1500W includes an aluminum wall mounting bracket with on/off switch and 9' power cord.
Model HZE-1500P includes a pedestal and base with on/off switch, tip switch and 15' power cord.
This appliance has been developed specifically for outdoor use, and must be installed on a non-flammable surface.
The heater unit itself is ETL certified to UL 2021 (Fixed and Location Dedicated Electric Room Heaters).
WARNING
The safety of this product can only be guaranteed if these instructions are followed. Please keep them for future
reference.
•
Always disconnect the heater from the main electrical supply during installation and/or replacement of the
heater element.
• Infrared energy heats people and objects when it is absorbed. Flammable objects placed too close to the
heater lens could catch fire.
