INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of the best Infrared distribution heaters available on the market
today. Our Infrared Heater is a very safe and effective room heater. It produces safe, clean and
economical heat by utilizing quartz infrared heating elements. The heating process of the
Infrared Heater is similar to the way the sun warms the earth. The infrared elements warm the
heat chamber and the whisper quiet fan distributes the accumulated warmth. This process is
unique among heaters in that it minimizes wasteful heat collection at the ceiling height of rooms
and targets it toward the living space instead. Thank you for being our customer, and enjoy your
heater!

WARNING!
!)POTENTIAL)FOR)ELECTRICAL)HAZARD)IF)NOT)ADHERED)TO!)
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. This heater must be plugged into a 120V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Nothing
else can be plugged into the same circuit. If unsure if your home meets this
specification, consult a certified electrician prior to use. Risk of fire, overheat,
malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered
to!
2. Connect to a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet only. Do not connect the heater to
extension cords, surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other
appliances connected to the same outlet. Risk of fire, overheat, malfunction,
property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!
3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. Use handles (certain models) or wheels to move this heater.
4. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear of
the heater.
5. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids,
pets, or when the heater is left operating unattended.
6. Always unplug the heater when not in use.
7. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater
malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. Contact the
manufacturer for resolution options.
8. Do not use outdoors. Exposure(to(outdoor(elements(such(as(rain,(snow,(sun,(wind(or

9. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor
locations, nor any locations that use GFCI outlets.
10.Never place heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacles.
11.Do not run cord under carpet. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
12.The heater must be plugged into a wall outlet that is a DEDICATED CIRCUIT, with a
minimum 15 amp rating on that individual circuit.
13.To disconnect the heater: FIRST, turn the power button to the “off” position, then
remove plug from the wall outlet.
14.Do not allow foreign objects to enter or block any ventilation or exhaust opening as
this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
15.Allow at least 3 feet of unobstructed space to the front and rear of the heater to allow
for maximum heat, air, and ventilation flow.
16.A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored, nor use flammable solvents to
clean the heater. Also, make sure to keep heater dry at all times.
17.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

These are both normal. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This
odor will sometimes be present when the box is opened, and may be compared to a heaters
version of “new car smell.” Also, similar to all hearth appliances (woodstoves, etc.), the coating,
exposed to heat, will produce this particular odor during the first 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.

At 1500 Watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTUs. 5100 BTUs, compared to your home
furnace, is a very small amount of heat. It may take several minutes, to several hours to heat your
area, depending on various factors (see Heater Placement).

Most Definitely. If the heater is used as it is intended (as supplement/assist heat), it should cycle
on and off, allowing for it to heat a total of approximately 8 out of the 24 hours of the day. Using the
national average of approximately 10¢ per kWh (look at your bill for exact cost per kWh--will vary
per state), your average heating cost should be less per day compared to your main furnace. The
costs will increase if it is used as the single source of heat, or if heat somehow escapes the room
being heated, since the “on” cycle will run longer.
The Formula: To determine the cost of this or ANY 1500 watt appliance, multiply 1.5 X your cost
per Kilowatt Hour. You can find the cost per KWH for your state at:

The life expectancy of the heating elements is typically 25,000 hours. Heating elements may be
replaced by obtaining parts from LIFESMART Products, although it is not recommended (unless
you are a certified heater technician or authorized directly by LIFESMART). All parts may be
purchased through LIFESMART PRODUCTS if your product is out of warranty. Note: If you feel
that the elements are definitely faulty right out of the box, contact LIFESMART Products Tech
Support first (for troubleshooting). Contact your place of purchase second.

Typically it takes about ½hour to feel a significant room temperature change. Please remember
that with any type of heating process, there are many variables: Location (in the home), floor 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.
Others with larger and open floor plans can expect up to 24 hours to heat up.

Definitely NOT! If you don’t have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice.
Removing or altering any part of the heater’s original design or intent (including the power cord) will
not only void the warranty, but will make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.

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). The temperature sensor on your heater reads the temperature in, and around,
the heater. The unit is near the cold floor (and heat rises), which in turn, will display a cooler
temperature than elevated or external thermostats. The best way to operate your heater is just 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.

The answer to these is the same. Yes. You will be able to use it, but keep in mind that
rooms/structures with open floor plans, minimal insulation, adjacent rooms, or high ceilings will not
retain the heat as efficiently, and may not feel pronounced heat changes. Also, the heater will stay
on longer (delays the “off” cycle), and may increase your electric costs. Note that if you do use it in
a garage or basement, the moisture levels must be very low and they must have dedicated circuits
(15 amps minimum) with no GFCI outlets. If unsure what a GFCI outlet is, contact a certified
electrician.

Yes. But make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each heater (heaters are
considered appliances) requires its own minimum15 amp circuit (with no other items plugged
into that circuit). If unsure your circuit meets these requirements, verify with a certified electrician.
Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.

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 filtering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely,
the fan should then shut off on its own.

!"#4&-#(9-+#&'#&==#'*)%+A#%L%-#2$%-#'$%#$%&'#$&+#G"G=%1#044:#;$"<#
This is normal. Although the heat cycles off, the fan stays on until the chamber is cool. If the
temperature falls below the desired set temperature during the time the fan is cooling, the heating
elements will cycle back on. This will not allow for the fan to completely cool off the chamber, and
shut down. The fan seems to run continuously. It is a safety mechanism to prevent overheating.
The best way to avoid this is to have the set temperature at least 5 degrees higher than the desired
heat, so that it retains that heat during the cooling cycle.

This is normal. The heater’s fan’s speed is not affected by the HI/LO settings. The fan is designed
to vent the heat at one soft, comfortable, and energy efficient speed. What is affected by the HI
setting is the heat output. In essence, in the HI mode, the heater produces “more” heat, rather than
“faster” heat.

There are many brands of heaters on the market. Each brand is designed with different heat
specifications, fan speeds, colors, material types, displays, and electrical components. They are
manufactured this way for you, as the consumer to have choices, selection, and preferences. As
long as the unit functions as specifications indicate, comparison to other brands will ultimately
depend on individual consumer perception.

The compact LIFESMART heater can definitely save you on heating costs, when compared to the
existing central heating system in place in your home, and when used as directed. Your heater is
designed to give your main heat source a supplement “boost,” or allow for you to have extra heat
(in the form of soft infrared waves) in locations where you would otherwise be short. It is meant to
cycle on and off, and not specifically designed to be used as a single heat source, especially in
larger homes. If you intend on using it as a single heat source (which you may), expect the heater
to 1) take as much as 24 hours to heat the area, 2) stay on for longer periods of time (without
cycling off) due to heat loss, and 3) increased use time, and electric costs.

The heater’s display is defaulted to read the temperature as Fahrenheit. If your heater is definitely
heating, but shows it is in the 20’s, you probably have the setting to read your temperature in
Celsius, rather than Fahrenheit. See Users Guide to change.

HEATER OPERATION
Here is a small description of how our heaters work:
Operation Mechanism:
1) Air is brought into the heater through an easy to clean, washable filter at the rear of the
unit.
2) The highly efficient, one-speed, high volume fan pushes filtered air through the chamber,
across the heat elements.
3) During this exchange, heat is accumulated and transferred to the air in the chamber.
4) The newly transferred filtered, clean, and hot air is then circulated out the infrared
heater’s front vent.
5) The whole process produces variably hot air, compared to the air originally entering the
heater.
6) This method of heat generation creates an even, comfortable level of infrared heat from
floor to ceiling (as opposed to venting hot air blowing that will just rise to the ceiling and
dissipate)
There is no drying of the air with this method of heating and no harmful chemicals or pollutants
are released.
