Setup & Installation

The Shinic Electric Garage Heater is designed for ceiling or wall mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the heater's weight and that there is adequate clearance from combustible materials (at least 3 feet/0.9m from the front, sides, and rear).

Mounting the Bracket

1. Identify a suitable location for mounting, ensuring it is protected from direct weather exposure if used outdoors.
2. Use the provided lag bolts and washers to securely attach the metal mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall. The bracket features multiple holes for flexible installation.
3. Ensure the bracket is firmly fixed before proceeding.

Attaching the Heater to the Bracket

1. Remove the bolts and nuts from each side of the heater's arms.
2. Align the heater's arms with the bracket. Push the heater upwards onto the bracket until the arms snap into place. This may require a few tries.
3. Once snapped in, reinsert the bolts and nuts on each side of the arms and tighten them with a screwdriver to secure the heater.

The heater's arms allow for a 90-degree adjustment, enabling you to direct the heat where it's most needed. Simply loosen the side bolts, adjust the angle, and re-tighten to secure.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your heater.

• Cleaning: Always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the heater in a cool, dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically check the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. If damage is found, do not use the heater and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

• Heater does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working 120V outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that the power button on the unit or remote control has been pressed.
• No heat output: Confirm the heater is set to either Low Heat or High Heat mode. If the overheat auto-off feature has activated, unplug the unit, allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes, and then plug it back in.
• Remote control not working: Check and replace the AAA batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the heater's infrared sensor.
• Unusual odors: A slight odor may be present during the first few uses as manufacturing residues burn off. If a strong, acrid electrical smell persists, immediately unplug the heater and contact customer support.
