25. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

This heater requires simple, no tool assembly.
Unpack Main Body and Mounting Base (Fig. 1).
Place Mounting Base on a firm surface (upright in any direction). Place ThermaWave Main Body on
Mounting Base so Mounting Tabs are aligned with Base Slots. Press Main Body onto the Base until Tabs
snaps secure into the Slots (Fig. 2).
Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from
any wall or combustible material.
DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep carpeting.
BE SURE THE HEATER IS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE IT MAY BE TRIPPED OVER BY CHILDREN OR
PETS.
SET-UP
Turn off the heater.
Allow it to cool for ten (10) minutes.
Unplug heater and move. This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch Handle for your convenience.
MOVING THE HEATER
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 Ceramic Heater has an organic industrial design that maximizes heat output. It is
designed with fan power to improve convection in order to provide both all around or directional heating
comfort to you and your room.

ASSEMBLY
For best result, place heater on the floor to create warming room convection and allow heater to run for
5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.

Model HZ-850 Series - ThermaWave Ceramic Heater Operation
The Power Knob is equipped with two (2) settings:
1) Low ( ) – this setting uses 750 watts of power
2) High ( ) – this setting uses 1500 watts of power
NOTE: Because 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 saving energy.
Turn heater on by turning the Power Knob to either Low
() or High ( ), the amber Power Light will come on.
Because 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 amperage draw on
a circuit when the heater is on the High ( ) setting.
To set the Thermostat, turn the Thermostat Control fully
clockwise to the highest ( ) setting.
When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat Control counter-clockwise
until both the heating element and fan go off (the amber Power Light will remain on). This is the point
at which the Thermostat setting equals the room temperature. At this setting, the Thermostat will
automatically turn the heater back on and then off as needed to maintain the selected temperature.
Turn the Power Knob to OFF ( ) and unplug the heater when you are finished using it.
OPERATION
NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED
With the Power Knob or Power Button in the OFF ( or ) 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 ThermaWave Ceramic 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.

Ceramic Heater Operation
Turn heater on by pressing ON ( ) button.
The heater will default to the Constant HI
mode and the Current Temp Indicator will
display the current room temperature.
The Energy Usage Indicator will display the
power consumption used by the heater.
The Energy Usage Indicator will display
STAND BY when the heater has reached the
Desired Room Temperature. At this point,
the heater is most efficient and is drawing
only a few watts of energy while in STAND
BY mode.
Energy Usage Indicator Status:
• If HI, the heater is drawing 1500 watts
to quickly warm the room
• If LO, the heater is drawing 750 watts
to slowly warm the room or maintain
the temperature
• In STAND BY, the heater is drawing
no power as the room has reached
the Desired Temperature
To set the heater, the digital control
is equipped with two (2) modes:
Constant Heat Mode -
there are two (2) heat settings
1. For Constant Low, press ( ); this
setting uses 750 watts of power
2. For Constant High, press ( ); this
setting uses 1500 watts of power
NOTE: Because 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 amperage draw on a circuit when the
heater is on the High ( ) setting.

SAFETY FEATURES
This heater is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:
• A tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is accidentally tipped,
• Model HZ-850 Series - 2 way shut off disabled heater if tipped front or back directions
• Model HZ-860 Series - 4 way shut off disables heater if tipped front, back or side to side
directions
• A high temperature safety control prevents overheating.
• Equipped with a thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at
a higher than normal temperature.
• This heater was created using a high quality safety plastic.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
We recommend that this heater be cleaned at least once a month and before off-season storage.
• Turn the heater OFF ( ) or ( ) and unplug it. Allow it to cool.
• Use a dry cloth only to clean the external surfaces of the heater. DO NOT USE WATER, WAXES,
POLISHES OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS.
• Before storing, clean the ThermaWave Heater using the above-mentioned steps. Wrap the cord
around the unit. Place in its original box and store it in a cool, dry place.
• This heater does not disassemble.
EnergySmart™ Mode -
A smart thermostat that helps you save energy. Press SET to choose four (4) comfort settings of 65°
(18°), 70° (21°), 75° (23°), 80° (26°). This is your desired room temperature. The EnergySmart™
thermostat will automatically select the appropriate power level to best accommodate your Desired
Temperature. As the air temperature (Current Temp) in the room approaches the Desired Temperature,
the heater will automatically lower the power consumption to provide consistent warmth without wasting
energy.
The Current Temp Indicator will display the current room temperature.
To override the EnergySmart™ function, simply press SET to choose either OFF ( ), LOW or HIGH
Continuous Heat.

Operation Cost*
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used times .001 to convert into a kilowatts
measure and multiple by your local kilowatt electric rate for however long you run the heater.
NOTE: Because the Low ( ) or EnergySmart™ (HZ-860 Series) settings do not require as much
electricity to operate, they are more energy efficient and may be better options if you are concerned about
the amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High ( ) setting.
