ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

• Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
• In the Honeywell Ceramic 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 the heater on the floor and allow the heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.

SET UP

• The Honeywell Ceramic Tower Heater requires no assembly. Simply unpack the 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.

MOVING THE HEATER

• This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch handle for your convenience.
• Turn off the heater.
• Allow it to cool for ten minutes.
• Unplug the heater and move.

OPERATION

• NOTE : NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED

• With the heater 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.

• With 80° oscillation, the Honeywell Ceramic Tower 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.

• Turn the heater on by pressing the Power Button ( ). The Power Indicator will illuminate and the heater will start in the constant On HI Level Setting ( ).

• The heater has two operational modes – continuous heating or heating with a thermostat setting where the heater cycles on and off according to the selected temperature setting.

• To set a Continuous Heat Setting, press ( ):

  • Choose Low ( ) to use 900 watts of power (750 watts on the HCE317 Series only)
  • Choose High ( ) to use 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.

• In the continuous heat mode, make sure to manually turn the heater OFF when done using this appliance.

• To set the Thermostat, press the Thermostat Control Buttons ( ) and choose your Desired Temperature. The Desired
  Temperature will flash five times and then the Current Temperature in the room will display as a steady red.
  NOTE: If the Current Temperature is higher than your Desired Temperature, the heater will be off until the room temperature falls below this setting or until the Desired Temperature is changed.

• Press the Timer Button ( ) to select 1, 2, 4, or 8-hour settings. The heater will run for that chosen period in the selected mode, counting down the hours and automatically shutting the heater off after the selected time has passed.

• Press the Oscillate Button ( ) to turn on or off the oscillation function.

• 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.

• It is important to allow the heater to run through the cool-down phase. DO NOT unplug the heater until it has completed the cool-down cycle.

SAFEGUARD™ MOTION SENSOR SAFETY FEATURE (HCE323/HCE353 Series only)

Product Specification

Operation Cost
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used by .001 and convert them into kilowatts used. Then, multiply the kilowatts used by your local kilowatt electric rate and the length of time you run the heater. For example, if your electric rate is $.1290per kilowatt hour and you ran this heater in constant high mode (1500 watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you .77 cents to run the heater (1500 watts x 4 hours x .001) x 0.1290kwp = 0.77 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.
Calculation (Total Wattage x .001) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
