surfaces. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, ALL TYPES of
bedding, papers, clothes, etc. and curtains at least 2 feet from the front of the
heater and keep them away from the sides and rear (sides and rear restrictions

The Hound Heater™ pet house furnace is powered by a long lasting 300 watt
heating element.
Because all pet houses are different sizes, shapes, insulation values,
with varying outside temperatures, etc., reaching the desired
temperature will vary greatly. It is EXTREMELY important that your pet
house be insulated and preferably have a door/flap.

APPROXIMATE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Half way between MEDIUM and HIGH is approximately 70 degrees F. Setting it closer to MEDiUM will mean unit will come on at a cooler temperature.
Since the HEAT-N-BREEZE uses so little energy, many customers will leave it run continuously during the warm summer months.

mounted. Typically it should

3” down from the upper left
corner of the housing unit.

to create a tight seal between the unit and the vent,
