FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIO NS
Please review these frequently asked questions on the next few pages prior to using your heater. Q. My heater emits a strange odor when I first open the box and when I turn the heater on for the first time. Why is this happening?
A. This is normal. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This odor will
sometimes be present when the box is opened. When the coating is exposed to heat, it produces this particular odor during the first few hours of operation. This will dissipate after the break-in period. I f you are sensitive to odors, you may want to pre-burn the u n it i n a garage with th door open until the initial odor dissipates.
Q. If my heater runs on its max wattage setting, how many BTUs is that?
A. This heater is intended to be used as supplemental heat in areas most needed. It may take several mi nutes to several hours to heat your area, depending on various factors. The below chart provides BTU translations for d ifferent wattages.
WATTAGE BTUS
1 ,500 5,1 18
1 ,000 3,41 2
750 2,559
500 1 ,706
Q. Can the heating elements be replaced? A. Replacement heating elements can be obtained from the manufacturer. All parts may be purchased through the manufacturer if your product is out of warranty. If you feel that the elements are definitely faulty right out of the box, contact Customer Support. A representative can then direct you to the next step.
Q, Once I plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will ii take to heat my room?
A. The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon powering on and setting the desired temperature above the ambient temperature. A noticeable change in the ambient “temperature of the room will vary due to variables such as the location of the heater (in the home). lloor plan and size of the room, howwell the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (acts as a heat sink with any type of heatingl. the opening and closing of an exterior door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Customers with smaller rooms experience quick heat changes. Rooms with larger and open floor plans can expect up to 24 hours to completely heat up. Q. My Heater has an ECO setting? How does this setting work?
A. The ECO mode on your heater is a program that attempts to keep the temperature strictly at a “‘warm”‘ 68° F [20°C). This also helps with efficiency, as it is programmed to 1 1 Increase the power to the unit’s maximum wattage if the temperature drops below 64 4°F ( 1 8°C) 21 Gradually reduce the wattage used as it approaches 66 2° [ 1 9°C) F and 3) Stop heating when 68° F [20°C) is achieved. This is considered an Economical function, since in the ECO setting, the heater is almost never running at the maximum watts.
Q, The temperature on my heater does not match the temperature display on my wall, or external thermostat. Why?
A. This is completely normal. The temperature display on your heater may vary from the temperature display on another thermostat !like the one mounted to your wall or a purchased external thermostat!. This is because the temperature sensor on the heater reads the temperature directly around th e heater. With the heater near the cold floor land heat rising). any readings on elevated o r external therm ostats w i l l differ in readi n g s o n the heater. The b e s t way to operate y o u r heater is to set the u n i t on High a n d dial up to a temperature that feels comfortable to you. Then, leave it at that temperature, regardless of the mismatch. The heater will cycle off when the set temperature is met or exceeded slightly.
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and another appliance at the same time?
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each heater requires its own minimum 1 5-amp circuit with no other items plugged into that circuit or outlet. This is because heaters are considered appliances and draw out high amperage. If you are unsure your circuit meets these requirements, verify with a certified electrician.
A WARNING: Risk of lire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.
Q. Why does my heater’s fan continue to run after the set temperature is reached or the power is turned off? A. This is normal. The heater’s fan will continue to run even after the heater automatically cycles down. The fan continues to run so that every last bit of heat is blown out of the heat chamber while a llowing the unit to continue littering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely, the fan should then shut off on its own. In this case, allow a few m inutes after the heat cycles off [with power on). The fan will shut off faster when the power is turned off. Q, My heater’s display shows my ambient temperature to be in the 20s when I know it is warmer than that. Why?
A. The heater’s display is defaulted to read the temperature as Fahrenheit. If your heater is defin itely heating but shows it is in the 20s you probably have the setting to read your temperature in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit. Q. My healer’s powercord gels warm. My cord is showing signs of heat or melting at the outlet. Is this normal?
A. A warm power cord is normal. These power cords are rated safe for up to 1 05°C/ 221 ° F by the UL, CSA, o r ETL. The exception is, if you detect heat, smoke, o r signs of melting at the contact point of the walloutlet, it may-be due to loose or worn wall contacts [or arcing!. Please stop using the heater immediately, contactwarranty support for a replacement powercord, and have a certified electrician replace the wall outlet as soon as possible.
P R E PARAT I O N
Place the heater o n a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 1 20 V , 6 0 H z power outlet. Only operate heater in upright position.
Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control before using [batteries not included).
Please note that infrared h eaters do not heat like a traditional space heater. You should not expect in frared heaters to blow hot air like a traditiona l space heater. Infrared heaters heat objects not air. Infrared heaters are intended to supplement an already heated, insulated room . Square footage specifications assume a single enclosed room not an entire home. Infrared heaters do not heat through walls, floors, and are not intended to replace a main heat source. I nfrared heat can take at least 24 hours to warm a room but operate much more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature. I nfrared heaters will not work well in uninsulated unheated spaces like screened in porches, RV’s, garages, unheated basements, etc.
