IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL HAZARD IF NOT ADHERED TO. When using
electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
- This heater must be plugged into a 120 V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Do not plug anything else into the same circuit. If unsure if your home meets this specification, consult a certified electrician prior to use. Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!
- Connect to a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet only. Do not connect the heater to extension cords, surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other appliances connected to the same outlet. Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles (certain models) or wheels to move this heater.
- Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear of the heater.
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids, pets, or when the heater is left operating unattended.
- Always unplug the heater when not in use.
- Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for resolution options.
- Do not use outdoors. Exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, snow, sun, wind, or extreme temperatures may cause the heater to become a safety hazard.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar indoor locations, nor any locations that use GFCI outlets.
- Never place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacles.
- Do not run the cord under carpet. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
- The heater must be plugged into a wall outlet that is a dedicated circuit with a minimum 15 amp rating on that individual circuit.
- To disconnect the heater, first turn the power button to the OFF position and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not allow foreign objects to enter or block any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
- Allow at least 3 ft. of unobstructed space to the front and rear of the heater to allow for maximum heat, air, and ventilation flow.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored, nor use flammable solvents to clean the heater. Keep the heater dry at all times.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- Do not use abrasive solvents to clean the heater as it may cause damage to the finish or casing.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where opening may become blocked.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Child Lock Safety Feature
Press and hold the child lock button located on the control panel for 5
seconds or remote control for 3 seconds. Locking is confirmed when a buzzer
rings and the control panel displays “CL”. When locked, the control panel and
remote control (if provided) will not function. To unlock the control panel or
remote (if provided), repeat this procedure. Unlocking is confirmed when a
buzzer rings and the lock indication disappears.
Tip-Over Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety feature. Once the heater is
tipped over, an internal switch will automatically shut the heater off. Once
the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset. To
continue operation, turn on the heater using the control panel or supplied
remote control (if provided) on the heater.
Overheat Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with an overheat safety feature. When the internal
components of the heater reach a certain temperature that could cause
overheating or possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off.
WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH THE WIDE BLADE OF THE PLUG TO THE WIDE SLOT OF THE RECEPTACLE AND FULLY INSERT.
WARNING: It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch. However, a loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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. If you
are sensitive to odors, you may want to pre-burn the unit in a garage with the
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 minutes to several hours to heat your area,
depending on various factors. The below chart provides BTU translations for
different wattages.
WATTAGE | BTUS |
---|---|
1,500 | 5,118 |
1,000 | 3,412 |
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 it 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), floor plan and size of the room,
how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete
(acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), 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. I do not have a grounded outlet. Can I use adapters, a 2-prong power
strip?
A. NO! If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician
for advice. Removing or altering any part of the heater’s original design or
intent (including the power cord) will void the warranty and make you liable
for any unexpected or hazardous results.
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) Increase the power to the unit’s maximum
wattage if the temperature drops below 64.4°F (18°C) 2) Gradually reduce the
wattage used as it approaches 66.2° (19°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 the heater. With
the heater near the cold floor (and heat rising), any readings on elevated or
external thermostats will differ in readings on the heater. The best way to
operate your heater is to set the unit on High and 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 15-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.
WARNING: Risk of fire, 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 allowing the unit to continue
filtering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely, the fan
should then shut off on its own. In this case, allow a few minutes 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 definitely heating but shows it is in the 20s you probably have
the setting to read your temperature in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.
Q. My heater’s power cord gets 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
105°C/ 221°F by the UL, CSA, or ETL. The exception is, if you detect heat,
smoke, or signs of melting at the contact point of the wall outlet, it may be
due to loose or worn wall contacts (or arcing). Please stop using the heater
immediately, contact warranty support for a replacement power cord, and have a
certified electrician replace the wall outlet as soon as possible.
PREPARATION
Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet and turn on the power switch on the rear of the unit. Only operate heater in upright position. Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control before using (batteries not included). *(Not all products will include a remote control.) Please note that infrared heaters do not heat like a traditional space heater. You should not expect infrared heaters to blow hot air like a traditional 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. Infrared heat can take at least 24 hours to warm a room but operate much more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature. Infrared heaters will not work well in uninsulated unheated spaces like screened in porches, RV’s, garages, unheated basements, etc.
