Operating Your Elite 8
Unpack & inspect your Elite 8 for damage – Do not use if damaged. Check all heating elements
to make sure everything works and nothing was damaged from shipping. If damaged from
shipping do not use and contact us immediately at 602-723-2534.
Your Elite 8 has Eight (8) 120volt plug-ins for the heat elements located three (4) on each side of the Elite 8. Each heating
element is 8 amps or 960 watts. Two (2) heating elements can be plugged into a 20 amp circuit. With (4) 20 amp circuits
you can achieve full power of your Elite 8. Please Note: Push all plugs into the sockets on the heater until they
bottom out. Failure to do so may cause damage to the heater.
You can use a 240 volt splitter box to use the dryer or range electrical supply. You can also use our Hotel air conditioner
splitter to power (4) of the heating elements. Disregard plugging into green light if you have the updated Elite 8 with 8
Amber lights. When using the Hotel air conditioner splitter do not plug one of the
connections from the splitter into the inlet plug-with the green light
Turning on your Elite 8:
First – Plug in internal air mover.
Disregard plugging into green light if you have the updated Elite 8 with 8 Amber lights. You must have the heating
element with the green light plugged in to the wall and not plugged into the Radial A/C splitter. This provides the power
to the switches and thermostat controller. Start internal fan before taking next step. Turn Heater on.
Temperature Controller
Your Elite 8 comes with a state of the art digital temperature controller built into the unit. The controller is preset to 132F
and requires no need for adjustment to use your Elite 8 unless you want to change the temperature settings.

Best Practices for Heating rooms
1. Heat rises. Always try to seal the room(s) from escaping heat. Especially HVAC vents, bathroom
exhaust fans, bottoms of doors, wall air-conditioners, etc… Cover windows pane with blankets or
equivalent to minimize loss of energy from cold windows.
2. Remove items that you would not leave in your car on a hot sunny summer day. Candles, lighters, many
foods, candies, etc…
3. Unplug all household electrical items and do not place electrical items directly in front of the heater.
Electrical items are rated for higher temperatures than you are heating, just avoid the direct heat coming
out of the heater.
4. It is best to bag clothes, sheets, etc… and run in the clothes dryer for 20 minutes on high. Never leave
clothes laying on the floor or other surfaces or they will act as an insulator and it will be difficult to heat
under them sufficiently.
5. Open all drawers and separate all items so hot air can get everywhere easily.
6. Stand or block box spring and mattress’ so hot air can contact all sides.
7. Place all fans blowing in the same direction along the walls in the area you are heating to circulate the
hot air into every nook and cranny. If possible place at least one fan per wall. Turn on fans to ensure air
movement is sufficient. Add more fans if it does not feel like a whirl wind (tornado type effect).
8. Place heater(s) so that the air is being immediately swept up by the fans and the hot air coming directly
out of the heater is not directly hitting any furniture or building materials before being blown about by
the fans.
9. Use no less than 1 heater for every 150sf in a normal room of ceiling height of 9’ or less for maximum
performance. You can never have too much equipment, only not enough.
10. Turn on heaters and make sure all heater light switches that have power are on. Heater switches will not
turn on if you do not have power connected to the respective heater switch. This is ok if you are doing
this on purpose because you don’t have or don’t need the full power of the heater.
11. Always check for fire sprinkler’s installed in a building. Keep heat level at fire sprinkler head a
minimum of 30F below the trigger temperature of the fire sprinkler.
12. Walls and ceilings made of block or concrete require more heat because they are more conductive of
energy than drywall. This means 1 heater will heat less space when you have walls and/or ceilings with
block or concrete. 50% more power is a general rule for these rooms. All buildings are not created equal
and more conductive materials take more energy to heat.
