Operating Your EcoForce Elite 8
Unpack & inspect your EcoForce 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 480-304-5649.
Your EcoForce Elite 8 heater has Eight (8) 120volt plug-ins for the heat elements, four (4) located on each
side of the heater. Each heating element is 8 amps or 960 watts. Two (2) heating elements can be plugged
into a 20 single amp circuit. With (4) 20 amp circuits you can achieve full power of your EcoForce Elite
8.
If needed, you can use a 240 volt single phase splitter box to supply power to the heater via a 240 volt
electric dryer or range outlet. You can also use our hotel air conditioner splitter (A/C Pro Splitter) to
power (4) of the heating elements. When using the hotel air conditioner splitter all four (4) receptacles
must be used and must draw identically equal power. Do not plug one of the connections from the
splitter into the inlet plug-in with the green indicator light. This plug-in also provides power to the
switches and thermostat controller and draws slightly more power than the rest.

Instructions for Temperature Controller
EcoForce Eliminator and EcoForce Pro series heaters come with a state of the art digital temperature
controller(s) built into the unit. Each controller is preset to 132ºF. There is no need to adjust the controller
to operate your heater unless you want to change the temperature settings above or below 132ºF.
To change the high temperature setting push the set button on the thermostat and use the arrows to adjust
temperature up or down. Push the set button again when finished.
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 window pane with reflective material, blankets or
equivalent to minimize loss of energy from cold windows.
2. Remove heat sensitive items such as but not limited to: Candles, crayons, and other waxy or meltable items, soft
plastic or vinyl items (example: window blinds, vinyl records), all aerosols, lighters, fire extinguishers,
medications, photographs in open areas, fresh fruits and vegetables, carbonated beverages, wines, liquors, etc…
15
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. For maximum performance use no less than 1 heater for every 225 sq. ft in a normal room with a ceiling height
of 9’ or less (2,025 cu ft). You can never have too much equipment, only not enough.
16
10. Always check for fire sprinkler’s installed in a building. Keep temperatures at the fire sprinkler head a
minimum of 30ºF below the trigger temperature of the fire sprinkler.
11. 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.
