FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please review these frequently asked questions on the next few pages prior to using your heater.
Q. My heater emits a strange odor when I rst open the box and when I turn the heater on for
the rst time. Why is this happening?
A. This is normal. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This odor will
sometimes be present when the box is opened. When the coating is exposed to heat, it produces this
particular odor during the rst few hours of operation. This will dissipate after the break-in period. If
you are sensitive to odors, you may want to pre-burn the unit in a garage with the door open until the
initial odor dissipates.
Q. If my heater runs on approximately 1,500 watts, how many BTUs is that? Is that a lot of
heat?
A. At 1,500 watts, your heater will use approximately 5,100 BTUs. This heater is intended to be used
as supplemental heat in areas most needed. It may take several minutes to several hours to heat
your area, depending on various factors.
Q. Can the heating elements be replaced?
A. Replacement heating elements can be obtained from the manufacturer. All parts may be
purchased through the manufacturer if your product is out of warranty. If you feel that the elements
are denitely faulty right out of the box, contact technical support. A representative can then direct you
to the next step.
Q. Once I plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
A. The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon powering on and setting the desired
temperature above the ambient temperature. A noticeable change in the ambient temperature of the
room will vary due to variables such as the location of the heater (in the home), oor plan and size of
the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (acts
as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, long hallways,
high ceilings, etc. Customers with smaller rooms experience quick heat changes. Rooms with larger
and open oor plans can expect up to 24 hours to completely heat up.
Q. I do not have a grounded outlet. Can I use a 2-prong power strip, or remove the ground
prong from the cord?
A. NO! If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certied electrician for advice. Removing
or altering any part of the heater’s original design or intent (including the power cord) will void the
warranty and make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. The temperature on my heater does not match the temperature display on my wall, or
external thermostat. Why?
A. This is completely normal. The temperature display on your heater may vary from the temperature
display on another thermostat (like the one mounted to your wall or a purchased external thermostat).
This is because the temperature sensor on the heater reads the temperature directly around the
heater. With the heater near the cold oor (and heat rising), any readings on elevated or external
thermostats will differ in readings on the heater. The best way to operate your heater is to set the unit
on High and dial up to a temperature that feels comfortable to you. Then, leave it at that temperature,
regardless of the mismatch. The heater will cycle off when the set temperature is met or exceeded
slightly.
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and another appliance at the
same time?
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each heater requires its own
minimum 15-amp circuit with no other items plugged into that circuit or outlet. This is because heaters
are considered appliances and draw out high amperage. If you are unsure your circuit meets these
requirements, verify with a certied electrician.
WARNING: Risk of re, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.
Q. Why does my heater’s fan continue to run after the set temperature is reached or the power
is turned off?
A. This is normal. The heater’s fan will continue to run even after the heater automatically cycles
down. The fan continues to run so that every last bit of heat is blown out of the heat chamber while
allowing the unit to continue ltering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely, the
fan should then shut off on its own. In this case, allow a few minutes after the heat cycles off (with
power on). The fan will shut off faster when the power is turned off.
Q. The fan speed does not increase when I change the setting from Low to High. Why?
A. This is normal. The heater’s fan speed is not affected by the High/Low settings. The fan is
designed to vent the heat at one soft, comfortable, and energy-efcient speed. What is affected by the
High setting is the heat output. In High mode, the heater produces more heat rather than faster heat.
Q. My heater’s display shows my ambient temperature to be in the 20s when I know it is
warmer than that. Why?
A. The heater’s display is defaulted to read the temperature as Fahrenheit. If your heater is denitely
heating but shows it is in the 20s you probably have the setting to read your temperature in Celsius
rather than Fahrenheit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. My heater’s power cord gets warm. My cord is showing signs of heat or melting at the
outlet. Is this normal?
A. A warm power cord is normal. These power cords are rated safe for up to 105°C/ 221°F by the UL,
CSA, or ETL. The exception is, if you detect heat, smoke, or signs of melting at the contact point of
the wall outlet, it may be due to loose or worn wall contacts (or arcing). Please stop using the heater
immediately, contact warranty support for a replacement power cord, and have a certied electrician
replace the wall outlet as soon as possible.
Q. How does the ECO setting work?
A. The ECO mode on your heater is a program that attempts to keep the temperature strictly at a
“warm” 68° F. This also helps with efciency, as it is programmed to 1) Increase the wattage used to
1500W if the temperature drops below 64.4°F 2) Gradually reduce the wattage used as it approaches
66.2° F and 3) Stop heating when 68° F is achieved. This is considered an Economical function, since
in the ECO setting, the heater is almost never running at the maximum watts.
PREPARATION
Place the heater on a rm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet and turn
on the power switch on the rear of the unit. Only operate heater in upright position.
Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control before using (batteries not included).
