FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please review these frequently asked questions on the next few pages prier to using your heater.
Q. My heater emits a strange odor when I first open the box and when I turn the hr on for the first time. Why is this happening?
A. This is normal. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This odor will sometimes be resent when the box is opened. When the coating is exposed to heat, it produces this piacular deducing the fist few hour of operation. This will dissipate after the break- in period. lf you are sensitive to odor you may want to pre-burn the unit in a garage with the do open until the initial odor dissipates.
Q. If my heater runs on its max wattage setting, how many BTUs is that?
A. This heater is intended to be used as supplemental heat in a as most needed. It may take several minutes to several hurls theta you area, depending on minus fact the below chart provides BTU translations for different wattages.
Q. Can the heating elements be replaced?
A. Replacement heating elements can be obtained from the manufacturer.
All parts may be purchased through the manufacture if your product is out of
warranty. If you feel that the elements are definitely faulty right out of the
box, contact Customer Support. A representative can then direct you to the
next step.
Q. Once I plug the unit in and turn it an, how long will it take to heat my
room?
A. The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon power ing on
and setting the desmid temperature above the ambient temperature. A noticeable
change in the ambient temperature of the room will vary due to variables such
as the location of the heater (in the home). floorplan and size of the room,
how well the room is insulated, how many doors endows, how much bare concrete
(acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an
extend door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Customers with smaller rooms
experience quick heat changes. Rooms with lacer and open floor plans can
expect up to 24 hours completely heat up.
Q. I do not have a grounded outlet. can I use adapters, a 2-prong power
strip, remove the ground prong from the cord?
A . NO! If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certified
electrician for advice. Removing altering any pat of the heater’s Original
design ointment (including the power cord) will void the warranty and make you
liable for any unexpected hazardous exults.
Q. My Heater has an ECO setting? How does this setting work?
A. The ECO mode on your heater is a program that attempts to keep the
temperature strictly at a “warm” 68° F (20°C). This also helps with
efficiency, as it is programmed to 1) Increase the power to the unit’s maximum
wattage if the temperature drops below 64.4。F (18°C) 21 Gradually reduce the
wattage used as it approaches 66.2 19。Cl F and 3) Stop heating when 68° F (2Cl
is achieved. This is considered an Economical function, since in the ECO
setting, the heater is almost neve running at the maximum watts.
Q. The temperature on my heater does not match the temperature display on
my wall, or external thermostat. Why?
A. This is completely normal. The temperature display on your heater may
vary from the temperature display on another thermostat (like the one mounted
to your wall or a purchased external thermostat]. This is because the
temperature sensor on the heater reads the temperature directly around the
heater.
With the heater near the cold floor land heat rising). any readings on
elevated or external thermostats will differ in readings on the heater. The
best way to operate your heater is to set the unit on High and dial up to a
temperature that feels comfortable to you. Then, leave it at that temperature,
regardless of the mismatch. The heater will cycle off when the set temperature
is met or exceeded slightly.
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and
another appliance at the same time?
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each
heater requires its own minimum 15-amp circuit with no other items plugged
into that circuit or outlet. This is because heaters are considered appliances
and draw out high amperage. If you are unsure your circuit meets these
requirements, verify with a certified electrician.
WARNING: Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.
Q. Why does my heater’s fan continue to run after the set temperature is
reached or the power is turned off?
A. This is normal. The heater’s fan will continue to run even after the
heater automatically cycles down. The fan continues to run so that every last
bit of heat is blown out of the heat chamber while allowing the unit to
continue filtering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely,
the fan should then shut off on its own. In this case, allow a few minutes
after the heat cycles off (with power on]. The fan will shut off faster when
the power is turned off.
Q. My heater’s display shows my ambient temperature to be in the 20s when I
know it is warmer than that. Why?
A. The heater’s display is defaulted to read the temperature as
Fahrenheit. If your heater is definitely heating but shows it is in the 20s
you probably have the setting to read your temperature in Celsius rather than
Fahrenheit.
Q. My heater’s power cord gets warm. My cord is showing signs of heat or
melting at the outlet. Is this normal?
A. A warm power cord is normal. These power cords are rated safe for up
to 105°C/ 221 °F by the UL, CSA, or ETL. The exception is, if you detect heat,
smoke, or signs of melting at the contact point of the wall outlet, it may be
due to loose or worn wall contacts (or arcing]. Please stop using the heater
immediately, contact warranty support for a replacement power cord, and have a
certified electrician replace the wall outlet as soon as possible.
Q. What kind of water should I use to fill my humidifier?
A: Use only potable (drinkable] water. Distilled or de-mineralized water
is best as it has less mineral content than regular tap water. When used,
these water types make your humidifier less likely to expel white mineral dust
into your indoor air – and less likely for that dust to invade your lungs.
This will also help reduce the amount of mineral build up on the front of the
unit and nozzle.
Q. There is an unpleasant odor coming from the humidifier. How do I
condition the water?
A: If an unpleasant odor is detected, a quick conditioning of the water
tank should correct the issue. With the unit off and unplugged, completely
drain the water tank (see Care & Maintenance section]. Fill the tank with
gallon of drinkable water and add 3 to 5 drops of unscented chlorine bleach to
the full water tank.
