WARNING TO USER
PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS
To assure maximum performance of the heater, please note the following
recommendations:
1.
For best results, 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.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
If used in an extremely dirty or dusty area, the filter must be cleaned more frequently
as the filter can clog and cause the heater to stop working. Please refer to "How to
Clean the Air Filter" in this manual for cleaning instructions.
10. The heater grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch the hot
surface. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes,
and curtains at least three feet from the front of the heater and keep them away from
the sides and rear.
11. CAUTION: Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
12. To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
