SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
- Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
- In the Honeywell HeatGeniusTM Ceramic Heater, air is drawn into the back of the heater by two fans, through the ceramic elements and out the front of the heater to gently introduce warm air into the room.
- This type of heating technology provides consistent, even heating.
- For best results, place heater on the floor and allow heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.
SET UP
- The Honeywell HeatGeniusTM Ceramic Heater requires no assembly. Simply unpack heater and save all packaging materials for off-season storage.
- Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface, free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from any wall or combustible material.
- DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep carpeting.
- BE SURE THE HEATER IS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE IT MAY BE TRIPPED OVER BY CHILDREN OR PETS.

- Turn heater on by pressing the Power Button ( ).The Power Indicator will light and the heater will start in the Constant HI Room Setting (Hi).

- When done using this appliance, make sure to manually turn the heater OFF.
- To shut the heater off, press the Power Button ( ) and the heater will begin Powering Down. The heater will shut off after counting down 6 seconds in the Temperature Display to cool down the internal components.

6 HEAT SETTINGS THAT GIVE YOU CONTROL OF YOUR COMFORT
6 Ways to Heat the Space You are In – Once your heater is ON, use the control
buttons on the bottom to select the desired heat setting for your needs. Your
heater will start on the Constant Hi Room heat setting each time you turn the
heater on. Here is a handy reference to help select the heat option that best
suits your desired comfort level:
FLOOR AREA – (LOW HEAT)
This setting uses the lower level heating element only to provide a
comfortable, gentle heat to warm up the floor area in front of the heater.
PERSONAL – (MODERATE HEAT)
This setting uses a moderate heat level to warm you personally wherever you
may be relaxing (reading, watching TV, etc.). The LO option ( ) provides a
soothing heat level, while the HI option ( ) slightly increases heat output,
allowing you to adjust to your desired comfort level.
ROOM – (MODERATE-HIGH HEAT)
Best for whole room heating, use this setting to bring warmth to cooler,
drafty rooms. The LO option provides a moderate heat level, while the HI
option uses maximum heat output to create a warmer environment.
THERMOSTAT – (MODERATE-HIGH HEAT)
To set the Thermostat, press the Thermostat Control Buttons ( ) to choose your
Desired Temperature. The Desired Temperature will flash five times and then the
Current Temperature in the room will display as a steady number. The
Thermostat can operate on either HI or LO heat levels to achieve Desired
Temperature by pressing the ( ) button under Room.
NOTE: If the Current Temperature is higher than your Desired Temperature, the heater will go into cool down mode and then shut-off until the room temperature falls below this setting or until the Desired Temperature is changed.
HEATPHASE™ TIMER
The new HeatPhase Timer is an auto-off feature that gradually transitions the
room temperature from warmer to cooler. The timer starts at high heat and
steps down 4 different heat levels until it shuts off – over a 2 hour period.
This feature is ideal for setting a comfortable, relaxing environment. (Fig.
2) The timer can also be toggled to start at whichever level desired.
QUIET MODE
The new Quiet Mode features uses a low heat setting and fan speed to produce a
gentle “white noise” and soothing warmth. (Fig. 3)
SAFETY FEATURES

- A four way tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is accidently tipped in any direction. If tipped over, the unit should be set upright and follow the OPERATION instructions.
- A high temperature safety control prevents overheating. If activated, unplug the device and wait at least 10 minutes for unit to cool. Then plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.
- The heater is also equipped with a thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a highter than normal temperature. If activated, the unit will need to be replaced.
- This heater was created using high quality, heat-resistant plastics and has a Cool Touch handle.
FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS
