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 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 A TRIPPING HAZARD.

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 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 way) 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 up to 900 watts of power (up to 750 watts on the HCE317 Series only)
- Choose High to use up to 1500 watts of power

NOTE: The Low setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a 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. On the HCE305/HCE309 unit models only, there are 4 pre-set comfort settings from which to choose: 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°. These are your desired room temperature settings.

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.
If a unit has an oscillation feature, 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.

SAFETY FEATURES

The Honeywell Ceramic Tower Heater is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:
A 360° tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is tipped in any direction.
A high-temperature safety sensor prevents overheating.
A thermal cut-off fuse will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a higher-than-normal temperature. High-temperature plastic. Cool to touch housing and handle.
Thermally insulated wiring for heat resistance and reinforced wire connection help protect against loose connections.
HCE323/HCE353 Series only also has a Safeguard™ Motion Sensor that shuts the heater off if an object gets too close to the motion sensor.

SAFEGUARD™ MOTION SENSOR (HCE323/HCE353 SERIES ONLY)
The Honeywell Safeguard™ Motion Sensor Digital Tower (Model series HCE323/HCE353 only) is equipped with an additional safety feature. If an object is placed too close to the heater, the Motion Sensor Light (Fig. 2) will blink to warn you that there is an obstruction. If the object is not removed, the sensor will disable the heater, turning the heater off until the object is removed. The heater will restart after a few seconds once the object is removed. Press the Safeguard™ Motion Sensor Button (Fig. 3) to turn on or off this feature.
