Introduction
Dynamic Personal Heaters utilize the latest in heat technology and provide a safe,
convenient, clean, and economical way to distribute heat throughout your home or
business. The Dynamic Personal Heater relies on convection (the circulation of air in a
room) to heat a room and is efficient because it avoids using excess energy needed to
heat an entire home or business by concentrating the heat production to a single room.
And with its easy-to-carry handle, it can be moved from room to room with very little effort.
Dynamic Personal Heaters are constructed of a Wood Outer Housing and an Internal
Metal Heating Chamber. This form of construction generates the most efficient heat
production providing you with a warm and cozy environment.
Safety
USE CAUTION
Save these instructions because electrical safety is essential to keeping your home or business
safe. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. Please use caution and follow these safety
instructions:
The heater must be operated by an adult. Keep heater out of the reach of children.
Only operate the heater when it is on a table, desk, or floor and there are no flammable
materials within close proximity.
Do not operate heater near any water.
Do not plug heater into any other cord connected device such as power strip, surge
protector, multiple outlet adapter, grounding adapter, outlet-type air fresheners or extension
cords. Plug the heater cord directly into a 3-prong 120V 15 amp grounded circuit
receptacle.
Never plug heater cord into a loose fitting or broken receptacle.
Never alter the heater’s design or operation. Such actions will void warranty and could
result in injury and/or death.
Do not operate the heater if it has a damaged cord or plug.
Do not operate the heater if there are signs of malfunction. If the heater has been dropped
or damaged, do not operate.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
2
Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows and other bedding materials, paper(s),
clothing, and curtains at least three feet away from all sides of the heater during operation.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
Do not use the heater outdoors.
Do not run heater cord under carpet. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Route cord away from traffic
areas.
Do not use the heater in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or similar indoor locations.
Turn off heater before unplugging.
Do not insert any foreign object or allow foreign object to enter the ventilation opening
or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock, fire, and/or injury.
Never block the air intake or exhaust opening in any manner as this could lead to fire.
Do not locate heater, when in use, immediately below a receptacle.
Never operate heater in or around a bathtub, shower, or swimming pool.
Only open heater if instructed by an authorized representative of the manufacturer. There
are limited user-serviceable parts inside.

How It Works
The Dynamic Personal Heater works with your in-home furnace or business heating system to
provide supplemental heat. In short, a cross flow fan circulates room temperature air from the rear
of the Dynamic Personal Heater, passes the air through a heating chamber that houses an efficient
electric heating element, and pushes the heated air out through the front of the unit. The Dynamic
Personal Heater ideally heats a room of 400 square feet, depending on the room ambient
temperature. And it does all this with a noise level below 46db. The Dynamic Heater should be
used as a supplement to your heating system and should not be used as the primary/sole heating
system.

Components and Functions
A. The Dynamic Personal Heater is constructed with an efficient electric heating element. The
Dynamic Personal Heater relies on convection (the circulation of air in a room) to heat a
room. The room temperature air passes through the heating chamber that houses the
highly efficient electric heating element and exits the unit as warm and cozy air.
B. An AC Cross Flow Fan pushes air through the Dynamic Personal Heater releasing warm
and cozy air. The Cross Flow Fan creates a wide flow of air using a cylindrical-shaped
impeller. Air is drawn inside the Dynamic Personal Heater, flows along the circumference
of the heating chamber, and is blown out laterally creating a uniform flow of warm air.
C. The Dynamic Personal Heater will work in offices, bedrooms, basements, and room
additions. Room insulation and seals will also affect performance of the heater and play a
part in helping keep your room warm.
D. With its beautifully crafted workmanship and elegant construction, this heater can blend in
stylishly with your home or office décor. An easy-to-carry handle ensures that this portable
heater can be easily moved from room to room.
Unpacking the Dynamic Heater
1. First, check the carton to make sure there are no obvious damages that may have occurred
during shipment.
2. Open the Dynamic Personal Heater packaging and remove the heater by sliding it from the
box. You may want to gently and cautiously turn the entire box upside down letting the
heater slowly slide out.
3. Remove all the protective materials from the heater. It may be a good idea to keep the
protective materials (storage bag) and packaging for storage during the off-season.

Operating Instructions
Visually inspect the Dynamic Personal Heater for any damages before operation. Do not
operate the heater if any damages are detected. Contact your dealer immediately.
1) Plug the power cord directly into a standard/conventional 120V/15 AMP receptacle.
Notice that you have two power settings on the power switch located on the front of the
Dynamic Personal Heater. The top of the power switch has one bar indicating the LOW
setting. The bottom of the power switch has two bars indicating the HIGH setting. If you
want to activate the LOW setting, press on the one bar at the top of the power switch. If
you want to activate the HIGH setting, press on the two bars at the bottom of the power
switch. (see Figure 1) Regardless of your choosing the LOW or HIGH setting, the red
light above the power switch will activate after the power switch is pressed. (see Figure 2)

2) The Dynamic Heater can be turned off by pressing the power switch. DO NOT
UNPLUG THE CORD WHILE THE HEATER IS RUNNING. BE SURE TO TURN OFF
THE HEATER USING THE POWER SWITCH BEFORE UNPLUGGING.
Recommendations for Maximum Performance
1. Be sure not to place the heater in an area where the air flow or air movement is great.
2. Direct the outflow towards the center of the room and not against a solid structure, like a
wall for example. For larger areas, place the heater within a central location.
3. The Dynamic Personal Heater is designed for maximum efficiency in the 680 F to 740F
range. This is because of the ambient air moving through the heater and out constantly.
4. Existing HVAC heating system vents should be closed. This allows the heater to function in
an isolated area.
5. It is not recommended to operate heater in areas exposed to non-insulated concrete or
metal walls. Concrete floors should be covered to insulate the heat within the room.
Care, Maintenance, and Storage
Before care or maintenance is applied, always unplug the cord from the receptacle. The cabinet
housing can be wiped down with water and a damp cloth or with furniture polish.
If the heater is not to be used for an extended period of time, it can be stored away in its storage
bag. First, make sure the power is turned off and the cord is unplugged from the receptacle. Wrap
the cord in a secured fashion. Cover the heater using the included storage bag to prevent dust
from accumulating on the heater. You may want to repack it back in its original carton. Always
store the heater in a dry and dust free environment.
