Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging and ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Placement: Place the heater on a firm, level surface. Ensure it is at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from any walls, furniture, curtains, or other combustible materials. Do not place it on soft surfaces like beds or rugs where openings may be blocked.
- Power Connection: Plug the heater directly into a 120V AC, 60Hz electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords or power strips, as they may overheat and cause a fire risk.
Operating Instructions
Your Soleus Air Reflective Heater features easy-to-use manual controls for customized comfort.

- Power On/Off: Turn the right knob (Heat Settings) from 'OFF' to either 'I' (Low Heat) or 'II' (High Heat) to turn the unit on. Turn it back to 'OFF' to power down.
- Heat Settings:
- Setting I (Low Heat): Provides 400W of comfortable warmth.
- Setting II (High Heat): Provides 800W for maximum warmth.
- Timer Function: Use the left knob to set the auto-off timer. Rotate it to select a duration from 10 to 60 minutes. The heater will operate for the selected time and then automatically turn off. To operate continuously, set the timer to 'ON'.
- Adjustable Tilt: The heater head can be manually tilted 180 degrees to direct heat precisely where needed. Gently adjust the head to your desired angle.
- Oscillation: The heater features 90-degree left-to-right oscillation to distribute warmth across a wider area. This function is typically activated by a separate switch or integrated into the heat setting knob (refer to specific model markings if different).
