QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS If the heater cycles ON/OFF without heating: Please note: This is a smart heater that monitors the room temperature and produces heat only when needed. You can set the desired room temperature with the heater in either ECO HIGH or ECO LOW mode. (The factory default setting is 68 °F.) For an example of how the heater works, let’s say you set the temperature for 70 °F.
How to turn off the heater: Switch to STANDBY mode or POWER OFF the heater. Does the blower cycle use much electricity? The blower fan will run for 60 seconds every 4 minutes to clear residual heat inside the chamber, while at the same time measuring the room temperature. This does not use much power to operate. Why does the blower fan keep running after I have pressed the power off button? The blower fan will continue to run until the heat chambers cool down.
a try and see what works best for you. My home is not well insulated; will this heater help me? Yes, but it may take a little longer to heat the room. The outside temperature will also have an impact on heating time. Once the room has reached the desired temperature, it will cycle on and off accordingly. Can the heater be used in a bathroom? It is not recommended due to a bathroom’s high level of moisture.
It is not recommended to move any portable heater while it is operating. We recommend moving the heater only once the fan has completely turned off. What is the life expectancy for the heater? This heater uses one infrared tube (which is rated for 20,000 hours and up), and one PTC element (which is rated for 80,000 hours and up). What is zone heating? Zone heating focuses heat where people spend the most time. After all, there is no point in heating multiple rooms to +68 degrees when not in use.
I don’t have a grounded outlet; can I use a cord adapter or remove the grounding plug? NO. If you don’t have a grounded outlet, contact a licensed electrician in your area for advice. Removing or altering any part of the heater is unsafe and will also void your warranty.
