13. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
14. Insert the remote batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator. Danger of explosion or fire if batteries are mistreated. Replace only with the same or specified type. Do not dispose of batteries in fire or leave in direct sunlight for a long period of time.
15. Use this heater only as described in the manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons and may void the warranty.

Plug into a 3-prong 120v 15amp or higher grounded circuit receptacle only. Do not plug the heater into a loose-fitting or broken receptacle. This heater is for use on 120 volt outlets. The cord has a plug as shown at “A” in the Figure below.

Product Setup

1. Un package heater. We recommend keeping the packaging for off-season storage and any transporting needs.
2. Find a level and unobstructed location to place the unpackaged heater.
3. Plug the power cord directly into an unused grounded 110 volt 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle.
4. Some models only: Make sure the POWER SUPPLY button, on the back of the unit, is in the ON position ( I ).
5. Press the POWER button in the control panel to turn on the heater.
6. Use the WARMER and COOLER buttons to adjust the heater thermostat.
7. To turn the heater off, press the POWER button; the fan will continue to run until all of the heat has been expelled.
8. Install two new AAA batteries in the remote control. Certain functions cannot be performed with the remote i.e., using the TIMER function or changing the temperature scale from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Comfort Buddy Functions

Display Setting: The Comfort BUDDY is equipped with multiple temperature scales, i.e. Fahrenheit and Celsius. To change between these scales, press and hold the QUIET button until the display flashes. Pressing the TIMER button will cycle through the scales. Stop pressing the TIMER button once your preference scale is displayed. The display will stop flashing in a few moments. You can continue normal operation of the heater after the display stops flashing.

Quiet/Low Function: Press the QUIET button when you wish to run the heater at a lower wattage in order to use less electricity. Running the heater in quite mode can sometimes be more beneficial in smaller rooms where less heat in necessary. The heater will also operate more quietly in this mode.

Auto ON Timer: With the heater OFF, press the TIMER button to select the number of hours you want the heater to wait until it powers on. You can select between 1-12 hours. Heater will power on at the last heat setting it was operated at.

Auto OFF Timer: With the heater ON, press the TIMER button to select the number of hours you want the heater to operate before it turns off. You can select between 1-12 hours.

To disengage the timer feature, simply press the POWER button or press the TIMER button until the timer is no longer indicated on the display. Air Purification Function (Upgrade Kit Sold Separately): The Comfort BUDDY can easily be upgraded to include air purification technology. Follow the instructions included with the kit to install it inside the heater. For more information, please visit www.comfortbuddy.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the PURIFIER button is pushed WITHOUT the optional upgrade kit, the message “Replace UV Bulb” will be displayed on the control panel. This message will remain until the PURIFIER button is pushed again. Also, with the purifier mode on, the fan will operate continuously.

Product Maintenance

The Comfort BUDDY heater comes equipped with an easy access washable lifetime filter.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you have allergies and/or are sensitive to dust, you will want to use this filter. When choosing to use the filter, it must be cleaned on a regular basis; a clogged filter will cause the heater to not work to its full capacity.

To Clean the Filter:

1. Unscrew the knob screw of the filter to release the filter cover and pull it straight out.
2. Run warm tap water over the filter, the opposite direction of air flow, until water runs clear. The filter might excrete some filtered residue, so be cautious not to drip on any stainable surfaces such as carpeting. You can also soak the filter in water mixed with a small amount of mild dish soap (don’t forget to rinse with water after soaking filter).
3. Shake the filter over a sink until excess water is removed and allow it to drip dry completely before reinstalling. DO NOT force the filter to dry using any alternative methods.
4. Reinstall the filter to the rear of the unit by positioning the filter back in place.
5. If using the optional HEPA filter that comes with the Air Purification Upgrade Kit, it can be cleaned by removing all dust and dirt with a vacuum attachment. Do not get the HEPA filter wet.

Resetting the “Clean Filter” Notification:

A “Clean Filter” notification will be displayed on the control panel after 720 hours of operation. To reset the notification, press and hold the PURIFIER button for 5 seconds.

Cabinet Care:

Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth.

Heater Storage (long term):

1. Unplug the heater.
2. Wind up electrical cord so as to keep it off of the ground.
3. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on filter or internally.
4. Store the heater in a dry, low dust environment.

For maximum performance, please follow recommendations below:

1. For best results, do not locate the heater in an area with a high rate of air movement, as the warm air may be removed from the area you are intending to heat.
2. Try placing the heater near a warmer inside wall and direct the output toward a cooler outside wall. The cooler outside wall will tend to draw the heat toward itself, which will encourage more efficient heating.
3. Do not place the heater next to a cold air return, as this will draw the heat away from the area to be heated and prevent efficient heating. Experiment with the placement of the heater to see what works best for you.
4. To ensure maximum efficiency, a 40% (minimum) relative humidity should be maintained in the heated environment.
5. The heaters are designed to operate for maximum efficiency in a room temperature range from 40° to 90° F.
6. Try lowering your central heating system to a lower temperature and placing the heater in the area you spend the majority of your time. Now set the heater to your desired comfort level. After all, there is no point in heating multiple rooms when they are not in use.
7. When heating larger areas, place the heater in a central location. If a ceiling fan is nearby, try using it at the same time to help distribute the heat evenly.

Troubleshooting

cooling down process. Do not unplug unit while running.
Heater turns itself on and off.| Using its thermostat, this heater will turn itself off and on in order to maintain the temperature you have selected.
The air-flow seems diminished.| Most issues, including air-flow, can be resolved by cleaning the filter. Check manual for details.
When I turned the heater on, it started emitting a strange smell.| When the unit heats up, some users may notice a smell for the first few minutes. This smell is the result of various internal components coming into contact with elevated heat levels for the first time. The smell will dissipate after the unit runs for a few minutes.
The heater doesn’t seem to produce as much heat as it once did.| First, try cleaning the filter (check manual for details). If cleaning the filter does not solve the problem, please call Customer Service at 1-888-281-9031 or visit www.airnmore.com.
The heater tripped a circuit breaker in my home.| The heater is an appliance. It’s never recommended to run more than one appliance on the same circuit. Make sure the heater is plugged into a grounded, 3-prong outlet and that it does not share a circuit breaker with any other appliances.
The heater has stopped working and it will not come back on.| The heater is equipped with a safety feature that keeps it from getting too hot. If the heater will not turn back on, it could be because that safety feature was activated. Shut the power off, unplug the unit and let it cool down for approximately 30-45 minutes. Take this time to clean your filter. After the unit has cooled down, try plugging it in and turning it back on. If this does not solve the problem, please call Customer Service at 1-888-281-9031.
I plugged the unit in and pressed the power button on the front of the unit but the unit did not begin heating.| First, make sure the switch on the back of the unit is in the on (1) position. Second, you may need to raise the selected temperature to get the unit to come on. If neither of these solve the problem, please call Customer Service at 1-888- 281-9031.
