QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Why does the blower fan not work after I have turned on the heater power button
?
The blower fan will not work until the heating element is hot enough to heat the air passing by. It will
normally turn on after about 10 seconds.
Why does the blower fan keep running after I have turned off the power button?
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.
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 to clean the filter.
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, outside temperature etc.
Can I use the heater to heat multiple rooms at the same time?
Yes. Heating will vary based on how open your floor plan is and the sizes of the rooms involved.
My home is not insulated very well, will this heater help me?
Yes, but it will take a little longer to heat the room initially and the outside temperature will also have
an impact on heating time. 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.
Can I use more than one heater at a time?
Yes, but you should make sure they are not on the same circuit. Each heater and appliance should
be on its own circuit.
Can I use the heater on a job/construction site
?
The heater was not designed to be used in a high dust construction environment. Using the heater
for this purpose will void your warranty.
Can I move the heater around while it is operating?
It is not recommended to move any portable heater while it is operating. We recommend moving the
heater only once the fan has completely turned off.
Can I use the heater and another appliance at the same time?
Yes, as long as they are not on the same circuit.
Can I use an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip with my heater?
It is not recommended. It is designed to plug directly into a grounded 120 volt 15 amp or higher
circuit receptacle. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should be No. 14 AWG
minimum size and rated not less than 2000 watts. The extension cord should be a 3 wire cord with a
grounding type cord and plug connector.
I don
'
t have a grounded outlet
;
can I use a cord adaptor or remove the grounding plug
?
NO. If you don't have a grounded outlet, contact a licensed electrician in your area for advice.
Removing or altering any part of the heater is unsafe and also will void the warranty.
