ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
ASSEMBLY
Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.
This type of heating technology provides fast, even heating.
The Thermawave™ 6 Heater was designed for maximum heat output.
This heater requires simple, no tool assembly.

OPERATION
NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED
With the Power Button in the OFF position, plug the heater into a polarized 120V outlet.
DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.
The ThermaWaveTM 6 Heater is versatile and designed to be placed in the center of the room or closer to the
wall (at least 3 feet away) for maximum convection room heating.
ThermaWaveTM 6 Heater Operation
Turn heater on by pressing ON ( ) button. The heater will default to the low setting.
Adjust Louver to give directional heat control.
To turn the unit off, press the power until none of the heat settings are illuminated and the red power light is
off. The fan will continue running for 60 seconds after the power is shut off, in order to cool down the heating
element. Unplug the heater when you are finished using it.
The Settings ( ) Button is equipped with three (3) settings: Fan Only ( ) Low Heat ( ), High Heat ( ). The
Low ( ) heat setting uses 900 watts of power and the High ( ) heat setting uses 1500 Watts of power.
The Fan Only ( ) setting uses very low power and does not provide heat. You can select the proper setting
to accommodate your comfort level with the Settings Button ( ). Press the button until the setting you want
is illuminated. The Low ( ) heat setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy
efficient and may be a better option if you are concerned about amperage draw on a circuit when the heater
is on the High setting.
The Adjustable Thermostat ( ) button is equipped with
4 pre-set Heat Levels. To set Thermostat to one of
these levels, press the Thermostat ( ) button until the
temperature desired is illuminated. The heater will operate
at the High setting until the room reaches the desired
temperature. The heater fan will run for 60 seconds and
turn off until the room temperature goes below desired
temperature it will then turn back on.
The Timer Button ( ) is equipped with three (3) settings:
two hours (2h) four hours (4h) ) and eight hours (8h). The
timer option will illuminate once selected. The timer is not

Operation Cost*
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used by 0.001 to convert into kilowatts then
multiply the kilowatts used by your local kilowatt hour electric rate for however long you run the heater. For
example, if your electric rate is $0.1326** per kilowatt hour and you ran this heater in constant high mode
(1500 watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you $0.80 cents to run the heater (1500 watts x 4 hours x 0.001) x
$0.1326 kwp = $0.80 cents).
NOTE: The Low setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may
be a better option if you are concerned about the higher power consumption when the heater is on the High
setting.
