ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
This type of heating technology provides fast, even heating.
The Thermal Wave Ceramic Heater has an organic industrial design that maximizes heat output. It is designed with fan power to improve convection in order to provide both all around or directional heating comfort to you and your room.

ASSEMBLY

This heater requires simple, no tool assembly.
Unpack Main Body and Mounting Base (Fig. 1).
Place Mounting Base on a firm surface (upright in any direction). Place Thermal Wave Main Body on Mounting Base so Mounting Tabs are aligned with Base Slots. Press Main Body onto the Base until Tabs snaps secure into the Slots (Fig. 2).

SET-UP
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.
For best result, place heater on the floor to create warming room convection and allow heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.
MOVING THE HEATER
Turn off the heater.
Allow it to cool for ten (10) minutes.
Unplug heater and move. This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch Handle for your convenience.

OPERATION

NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED
With the Power Knob or Power Button in the OFF ( ) position, plug the heater into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.
The Thermal Wave Ceramic Heater is versatile and designed to be placed in the center of the room or closer to the wall (at least 3 feet away) for maximum convection room heating.
Model HZ-850 Series – Thermal Wave Ceramic Heater Operation

The Power Knob is equipped with two (2) settings:

1.  Low ( ) – this setting uses 750 watts of power
2. High ( ) – this setting uses 1500 watts of power

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 saving energy.
Turn heater on by turning the Power Knob to either Low ( ) or High ( ), the amber Power Light will come on.
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 amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High ( ) setting.
To set the Thermostat, turn the Thermostat Control fully clockwise to the highest ( ) setting.

When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat Control counter-clockwise until both the heating element and fan go off (the amber Power Light will remain on). This is the point at which the Thermostat setting equals the room temperature. At this setting, the Thermostat will automatically turn the heater back on and then off as needed to maintain the selected temperature. Turn the Power Knob to OFF ( ) and unplug the heater when you are finished using it.
Model HZ-860 Series – Energy Smart™ Thermal Wave Ceramic Heater Operation
Turn heater on by pressing ON ( ) button.
The heater will default to the Constant HI mode and the Current Temp Indicator will display the current room temperature.
The Energy Usage Indicator will display the power consumption used by the heater.
The Energy Usage Indicator will display STAND BY when the heater has reached the Desired Room Temperature. At this point, the heater is most efficient and is drawing only a few watts of energy while in STAND BY mode.

Energy Usage Indicator Status:

• If HI, the heater is drawing 1500 watts to quickly warm the room
• If LO, the heater is drawing 750 watts to slowly warm the room or maintain the temperature
• In STAND BY, the heater is drawing no power as the room has reached the Desired Temperature

To set the heater, the digital control is equipped with two (2) modes:
Constant Heat Mode – there are two (2) heat settings

1. For Constant Low, press ( LO ); this setting uses 750 watts of power
2. For Constant High, press (HI ); this setting uses 1500 watts of power
   NOTE: Because the Low (LO ) 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 amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High (HI ) setting.

Energy Smart™ Mode –
A smart thermostat that helps you save energy. Press SET to choose four (4) comfort settings of 65°  (18°), 70° (21°), 75° (23°), 80° (26°). This is your desired room temperature. The Energy Smart™ thermostat will automatically select the appropriate power level to best accommodate your Desired Temperature. As the air temperature (Current Temp) in the room approaches the Desired Temperature, the heater will automatically lower the power consumption to provide consistent warmth without wasting energy.
The Current Temp Indicator will display the current room temperature.
To override the Energy Smart™ function, simply press SET to choose either OFF ( ), LOW or HIGH Continuous Heat.

SAFETY FEATURES

This heater is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:

• A tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is accidentally tipped,
• Model HZ-850 Series – 2 way shut off disabled heater if tipped front or back directions
• Model HZ-860 Series – 4 way shut off disables heater if tipped front, back or side to side directions
• A high temperature safety control prevents overheating.
• Equipped with a thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a higher than normal temperature.
• This heater was created using a high quality safety plastic.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

We recommend that this heater be cleaned at least once a month and before off- season storage.

• Turn the heater OFF ( ) or ( ) and unplug it. Allow it to cool.
• Use a dry cloth only to clean the external surfaces of the heater. DO NOT USE WATER, WAXES, POLISHES OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS.
• Before storing, clean the Thermal Wave Heater using the above-mentioned steps. Wrap the cord around the unit. Place in its original box and store it in a cool, dry place.
• This heater does not disassemble.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your heater shuts off unexpectedly or fails to operate, one of your heater safety features may have been activated to prevent overheating.

• Be sure it is plugged in and that the electrical outlet is working.
• Check for any obstructions. If you find an obstruction, turn the heater OFF( ) or ( ) and unplug it.
• Allow the heater to cool completely, then remove the obstruction. Wait at least 10 minutes, then plug the heater in and follow the OPERATION instructions

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Operation Cost
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply 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 $.1196 per 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 ( LO) or Energy Smart™ (HZ-860 Series) settings do not require as much electricity to operate, they are more energy efficient and may be better options if you are concerned about the amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High (HI ) setting.
Calculation (Total Wattage x .001) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
