All of the ambient air processed through the Solar Comfort pass
through a lifetime washable POLYTRON filter. The Solar
Comfort circulates and recycles heated air at a low level thus
producing warmth at floor level and even heating.
With proper care and operation, this new Solar Comfort zone
heating system will provide a better, more comfortable

1. INTRODUCTION
The Solar Comfort by Sun Cloud infrared heating system is a
revolutionary concept offering more efficient heat at less cost.
Solar Comfort’s impressive air quality and effective heating
performance are the result of an innovative system design using
absorption of infrared energy by a unique heat exchanger to
produce, mix, circulate and recycle heated air at the proper
location. The resulting even distribution minimizes heat loss at
walls, windows, and ceilings; saving heat, energy, and money!
This system heats air in much the same way that the sun heats the
earth and its atmosphere by means of safe infrared absorption-
hence the name Solar Comfort.
UNLIKE kerosene, gas, or wood heating which must have
excessive ventilation, (cold air coming into the house) the Solar
Comfort permits the structure to be closed for efficient heating
with no danger of monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.
Solar Comfort heaters are equipped with a lifetime washable static
filter system which will remove airborne particles as the air is
pulled into the Solar Comfort heating system.
The Solar Comfort is constructed of lifetime galvanized steel,
copper and aluminum metals.

7. PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS
To assure maximum performance of the Solar Comfort by Sun
Cloud heating system, please note the following recommendations:
1. To insure maximum efficiency, a 40% (minimum) relative
humidity level should be maintained in the heated
environment.
2. For maximum efficiency, locate the back of the Solar Comfort on
an inside wall, exhausting toward the outside wall.
3. If the Solar Comfort is used in an area with bare concrete floors,
position the unit a minimum of three feet above the floor.
4. For maximum efficiency, do not locate the Solar Comfort in an
area with a high rate of air filtration.
5. The Solar Comfort is designed to operate for maximum efficiency
up to the 70-72 degree range.
6. When the Solar Comfort is placed in an isolated area, i.e.
basement, recreation areas, the delivery register and return air
grills of the existing system should be closed in that area if
possible.
7. For efficiency, the Solar Comfort is not recommended for areas
with exposed, un-insulated concrete or metal walls.

5. LAMP INSPECTION
5A. TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE LAMPS
Turn the thermostat up until the lamps come on, remove the filter
and look through the screen at the rear of the unit. Looking past the
fan blades, all four lamp bases should be glowing.
5B. TO REPLACE A LAMP/LAMPS
Remove the metal unit from the wood cabinet by removing the
retainer located at the base of the wood cabinet. Next, remove the
four screws in the lid (figure 1). Remove the inner cabinet (figure
2). (Parts 2, 3, and 4: the inner cabinet, air chute, and heat
exchanger all function as one piece.) Remove the defective lamp
by unscrewing counter clockwise and replace with a new lamp. To
complete the process, reverse the above steps.
Note: Lamps are 375W 120V R40-1 Infrared Heat Lamps
For all other replacement parts contact your nearest authorized
dealer.
6. FILTER MAINTENANCE
POLYTRON STATIC FILTER SYSTEM
Solar Comfort by Sun Cloud comes equipped with a washable
Polytron static filter which is easy to clean. The manufacturer
recommends the filter be cleaned once a month or as needed. To
do this, follow these steps:
1. Remove the filter from the rear of the unit by tilting
out.
2. Run warm tap water over the filter, the opposite
direction of airflow, until sufficiently clear of dirt and
dust. A small amount of mild detergent may be used.
Once the filter is dry place it back into the rear of the
unit.

2. BENEFITS
2A. SAFETY
Extensive testing has verified the safety of the Solar Comfort Zone
Furnace. Safe, clean infrared lamps provide the heat; there is NO
combustion or fumes.
Due to its safe operating temperature, the Solar Comfort may be
placed next to flammable materials with no safety clearance
needed.
The Solar Comfort will not burn if touched or create a fire hazard;
complete safety is priority one for all, including small children.
2B. ECONOMY
The unique Solar Comfort process virtually prevents the wasteful
air layering of conventional systems. The heat does not accumulate
near the ceiling.
By using individual controlled units the Solar Comfort system
provides heat only where and when it is needed. Zone heating—
Economical heating
Solar Comfort zone heating is less expensive per heated square
foot and requires no expensive duct installation; therefore, no heat
is lost every time the unit runs. The Solar Comfort uses standard
110 volt household current, no special 220 volt wiring or chimney
vent.

The Solar Comfort has lower operating and maintenance costs.
There is only one moving part, the fan motor, and is equipped with
quality trouble free controls. There are no burners to rust, corrode or
adjust; no pilot light to waste energy. Safe, clean, long-life infrared
lamps provide the heat energy and are replaced easily and
inexpensively. (Average lamp life is 5000+ hours or approximately
3-5 years). The Solar Comfort is constructed of lifetime metals,
copper, galvanized steel and aluminum.
Note: Lamps are 375W 120V R40-1 Infrared Heat Lamps
2C. COMFORT
The Solar Comfort provides even heat distribution and warmer
floors. The Solar Comfort thermostatically controls, circulates and
recycles heated air at the floor for maximum use and comfort. The
floor to ceiling temperature differential is minor.
Solar Comfort zone heating does not remove humidity from the air;
it actually helps to maintain humidity levels. Water does not readily
condense on windows as with conventional systems. Even heating
and humidity provide more comfort at lower heat settings with less
static electricity.
As the Solar Comfort operates, you will notice that its heating
ability does not depend on a high-speed flow of air. Instead, its
gentle airflow promotes more effective heat mixing action and air
stability at the floor. Soft heat
The Solar Comfort does not burn, dry out or otherwise pollute the
air with impurities. This protects the humidity level and air quality
important to health and breathing comfort.

2D. CLEAN AND CONVENIENT
Solar Comfort has no messy tanks to fill, wicks to clean, wood to
hassle with, ashes to carry and leaves no soot film on walls and
drapery. The Solar Comfort is convenient to use, just plug it in to
any 110 volt 15 amp receptacle.
3. CARE/MAINTENANCE
CABINET CARE
To maintain the furniture quality cabinet use any commercial
dusting or polishing product.
FILTER CARE
See filter maintenance in Section 6.
4. OPERATION
Plug the power cord into any 110 volt 15 amp receptacles. Turn
power switch (located in the rear of the unit) to the “On” position
and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The four infrared
heating lamps will come on. In about one minute the fan will
come on delivering heat.
