Forbest results,do notlocatethe heater inan area with ahigh rate of air filtration and
movementasthe warm airwill be exhausted.
Tryplacingthe heater near a warmerinside wall and directthe outputtoward acooleroutside

Toensuremaximumefficiency,a 40% (minimum)relative humidityshouldbe maintained in the
heated environmentto acheive softheat.
Theheatersare designedto operate for maximumefficiencyin a roomtemperaturerange from
68' to 72°F. Due to the soft heat concept, atemperature of 68 degrees willfeel asthough it
were 72 degrees. Thisis dueto theheat mixingevenly withhumidityfor %ead-to-toe" comfort.
When the heater isplaced in an isolatedarea, i.e. basementor recreation area, the delivery
registers and air return grillsof the existingsystemshouldbe closed in that area if possible.
Inrooms withlarge areas of bare concrete,try pfac[ngthe heater a few feet above the floor.
