Electrical Connection

Operating Instructions

The Infratech SL Series heater is designed for simple operation once properly installed.

1. Power On: Ensure the heater is properly wired and the circuit breaker is in the "ON" position.
2. Control: This heater typically operates with an external control system (e.g., wall switch, dimmer, or home automation system) which should be installed by your electrician. Activate the heater via your chosen control method.
3. Heating: The radiant element will begin to glow and emit heat almost immediately. Allow a few minutes for the heater to reach its full operating temperature and for the radiant heat to warm the desired area.
4. Power Off: Deactivate the heater using your external control system. For extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to turn off the dedicated circuit breaker.

The radiant heating technology directly warms objects and people, similar to the sun, providing efficient and comfortable heat without warming the air directly.

Maintenance

Your Infratech heater requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance and efficiency.

• Cleaning: Ensure the heater is completely cool and disconnected from power before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Element Inspection: Periodically inspect the heating element for any visible damage or debris. If the element appears damaged, contact a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to repair the element yourself.
• Clearances: Regularly check that the area around the heater remains clear of any obstructions or combustible materials.
