ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
-
Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
-
In the Honeywell Ceramic Digital Tower Heater, air is drawn into the back of the heater by a fan, through the ceramic element
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 Ceramic Digital Tower 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.

Operation Cost
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiple the watts used times
.001 to convert into a kilowatts measure and multiple by your local kilowatt
electric rate for however long you run the heater. For example, if your
electric rate is $.1196per kilowatt hour
and you ran this heater in constant high mode (1500 watts) for 4 hours, it
would cost you $.71 cents to run the heater (1500 watts x 4 hours x.001) x
.1196kwp = .71 cents).
NOTE: : Because the Low setting does not require as much electricity to
operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better option if you are
concerned about the higher power consumption when the heater is on the High
setting.
