your room is that cooler or that the heater is not heating. If your heater’s display and your external
temperature read-out mechanism (thermometer, wall thermostat, etc.) are within a 5 to 6 degree
difference, it is completely normal.
Recommendations for Maximum Performance
1. Be sure not to place the heater in an area where the air flow or air movement is great.
2. Direct the outflow towards the center of the room and not against a solid structure, like a wall for
example. For larger areas, place the heater within a central location.
3. The Infrared Heater designed for maximum efficiency in the 68
0
F to 74
0
F range. This is because
of the ambient air moving through the heater and out constantly.
4. Existing HVAC heating system vents should be closed. This allows the heater to function in an
isolated area.
5. It is not recommended to operate heater in areas exposed to non-insulated concrete or metal
walls. Concrete floors should be covered to insulate the heat within the room.
6. If the heater filters become dirty or dusty, they must be cleaned for the heater to operate at its
maximum efficiently.
Care, Maintenance, and Storage
Before care or maintenance is applied, always unplug the cord from the receptacle. The cabinet
housing can be wiped down with water and a damp cloth or with furniture polish. The heater has a
washable filter. The filter should be cleaned regularly to provide for maximum performance. Once the
filter is removed, run warm water through and over the filter to remove dirt and dust. Shake all water
residue from the filter and replace it back in the heater. (Note: A mild soap can be applied to assist in
removing dirt and dust from the filter)
If the heater is not to be used for an extended period of time, it can be stored away. Make sure the
power is turned off and the cord is unplugged from the receptacle. Wrap the cord around the handle on
the rear of the portable heater. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on the heater. You
may want to repack it back in its original carton. Always store the heater in a dry and dust free
environment.
(Note: You may want to clean the filter prior to storing the heater away so that it is ready for operation the
next time it is put in use.)
