IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL HAZARD IF NOT ADHERED TO. When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- This heater must be plugged into a 120 V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Do not plug anything else into the same circuit. If unsure if your home meets this specification, consult a certified electrician prior to use. Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!
- Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not connect the heater to extension cords, surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other appliances connected to the same outlet. Risk of fire, overheating, malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles (certain models) or wheels to move this heater.
- Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear of the heater.
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids, pets, or when the heater is left operating unattended.
• Always unplug the heater when not in use. - Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for resolution options.
- Do not use outdoors. Exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, snow, sun, wind, or extreme temperatures may cause the heater to become a safety hazard.
- This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar indoor locations, nor any locations that use GFCI outlets.
- Never place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacles.
- Do not run the cord under carpet. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
- The heater must be plugged into a wall outlet that is a dedicated circuit with a minimum 15 amp rating on that individual circuit.
- To disconnect the heater, first turn the power button to the OFF position and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not allow foreign objects to enter or block any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
- Allow at least 3 ft. of unobstructed space to the front and rear of the heater to allow for maximum heat, air, and ventilation flow.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored, nor use flammable solvents to clean the heater. Keep the heater dry at all times.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- Do not use abrasive solvents to clean the heater as it may cause damage to the finish or casing.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where opening may become blocked.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
- Do not unplug the heater when the unit is still ON, as the vent grill will be hot.
- Shut off the heater and wait 10 minutes before unplugging from the wall.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Overheat Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with an overheat safety feature. When the internal components of the heater reach a certain temperature that could cause overheating or possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off. If the unit has been overheated, you will need to unplug the unit from the wall and replug it in to use the heater again.
⚠ WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH THE WIDE BLADE OF THE PLUG TO THE WIDE SLOT OF THE RECEPTACLE AND FULLY INSERT.

However, a loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

Please review these frequently asked questions on the next few pages prior to using your heater.
Q. My heater emits a strange odor when I first open the box and when I turn the heater 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 present when the box is opened. When the coating is exposed to heat, it produces this particular odor during the first few hours of operation. This will dissipate after the break-in period. If you are sensitive to odors, you may want to pre-burn the unit in a garage with the door 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 areas most needed. It may take several minutes to several hours to heat your area, depending on various factors. The below chart provides BTU translations for different wattages.
| WATTAGE BTUS | |
| 1,500 5,118 | |
| 1,000 3,412 | |
| 750 2,559 | |
| 500 1,706 | |
| 350 1,194 | |
Q. Once I plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
A. The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon powering on and setting the desired 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), floor plan and size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Customers with smaller rooms experience quick heat changes. Rooms with larger and open floor plans can expect up to 24 hours to completely heat up.
Q. I do not have a grounded outlet. Can I use adapters, a power strip?
A. NO! If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice. Removing or altering any part of the heater's original design or intent (including the power cord) will void the warranty and make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.
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.
Place the heater into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet and turn on the power switch on the rear of the unit. Only operate heater in upright position.
Please note that infrared heaters do not heat like a traditional space heater. You should not expect infrared heaters to blow hot air like a traditional space heater. Infrared heaters heat objects not air. Infrared heaters are intended to supplement an already heated, insulated room. Square footage specifications assume a single enclosed room not an entire home. Infrared heaters do not heat through walls, floors, and are not intended to replace a main heat source. Infrared heat can take at least 24 hours to warm a room but operate much more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature. Infrared heaters will not work well in uninsulated unheated spaces like screened in porches, RV's, garages, unheated basements, etc.
