5.3 About Infrared Heating
Infrared heating works by directly warming objects and people in a room, similar to how sunlight provides warmth. Unlike traditional convection heaters that warm the air, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that is absorbed by surfaces. This method can lead to a more consistent and comfortable warmth, and the room temperature may not drop immediately even after the heater is turned off, as the absorbed heat is gradually released.

- Cleaning: Before cleaning, always ensure the heater is turned off and unplugged from the power source. Allow the unit to cool completely. Wipe the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Storage: If storing the heater for an extended period, clean it thoroughly and store it in a dry, dust-free location.
