How It Works
In short, room temperature air circulates from the rear of the SunTech Portable Heater, passes
through a highly efficient filter and enters a chamber that houses the Infrared Quartz Bulbs, and
exits as heated air from the Diathermanous Copper Plate constructed on the front of the unit. And
it does all this with a noise level below 46db and can potentially heat up to 1000 square feet.
Components and Functions
A. The SunTech Portable Heater is constructed with four Infrared Quartz Bulbs. Each Infrared
Quartz Bulb rates at 375W. These bulb can produce therapeutic infrared rays that warm
the air which passes through the inner chamber. The Infrared Quartz Bulbs are constructed
with a stainless steel thermal conducting housing. The incorporated twisted style increases
the efficiency of the unit.
B. An AC Cross Flow Fan pushes air over these Infrared Quartz Bulbs. Cross Flow Fans
create a wide flow of air using a cylindrical-shaped impeller. Air is drawn inside the
SunTech Portable Heater, flows along the circumference of the chamber and over the
Infrared Quartz Bulbs, and is blown out laterally creating a uniform flow of warm air.
C. The SunTech Portable Heater has a Delay Start Function which controls the AC Cross Flow
Fan. The purpose of the Delay Start Function is to allow the Infrared Quartz Bulbs to heat
up before the fan begins to circulate the air flow. In addition, the AC Cross Flow Fan will
continue to circulate the airflow after the power is turned off to circulate the warm air from
the SunTech Portable Heater.
D. The air flow exits through the front of the SunTech Portable Heater. It travels from the
Diathermanous Copper Plate. The Diathermanous Copper Plate is constructed from red
copper making it advantageous for efficient thermal conductivity. It is a resourceful material
in reflecting the infrared rays.
E. A LED Digital Display is a convenient, stylish, and modern way to display the temperature
and timer. This attractive addition compliments the SunTech Portable Heater, in that, it
simplifies and makes controlling the unit easy. Operating the heater is logical and can be
done on the unit itself or by remote.
F. The SunTech Portable Heater was designed with safety features. One such feature is the
Overheat Automatic Shutoff that shuts the heater off should heat rise above the prescribed
4
limit. Another feature is that if for any reason there is a power outage while the heater is
operating, the heater will remain off even when the power is restored. These are all safety
feature incorporated into the design of the SunTech Portable Heater.
Unpacking the SunTech Portable Heater
1. First, check the carton to make sure there are no obvious damages that may have occurred
during shipment.
2. Open the SunTech Portable Heater packaging and remove the heater by sliding it from the
box. You may want to gently and cautiously turn the entire box upside down letting the
heater slowly slide out.
3. Remove all the protective materials from the heater. It may be a good idea to keep the
protective materials and packaging for easy storage during the off-season.
Operating Instructions
Visually inspect the SunTech Portable Heater for any damages before operation. Do not
operate the heater if any damages are detected. Contact your dealer immediately.
1) Plug the power cord directly into a conventional 120V 15 amp outlet and press the master
power button on the rear of the portable heater. Then press the power button on the front
control panel. The LED display will show the default value as 720F.
After about (5) seconds, it will switch to the current ambient temperature. (Note: If the
current ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature, the HI/LOW fan function
will not operate.)

Recommendations for Maximum Performance
1. The SunTech Portable Heater can heat a room up to 1000 square feet. Be sure not to
place the heater in an area where the air flow or air movement is great.
2. Direct the outflow towards the center of the room and not against a solid structure, like a
wall for example. For larger areas, place the heater within a central location.
3. The SunTech Portable Heater is designed for maximum efficiency in the 680 F to 770F
range. This is because of the ambient air moving through the heater and out constantly.
4. Existing HVAC heating system vents should be closed. This allows the heater to function in
an isolated area.
5. It is not recommended to operate heater in areas exposed to non-insulated concrete or
metal walls. Concrete floors should be covered to insulate the heat within the room.
6. If the heater filters become dirty or dusty, they must be cleaned for the heater to operate to
its maximum efficiently.
Care, Maintenance, and Storage
Before care or maintenance is applied, always unplug the cord from the receptacle. The cabinet
housing can be wiped down with water and a damp cloth or with furniture polish. The heater has a
washable filter. The filter should be cleaned regularly to provide for maximum performance. Once
the filter is removed, run warm water through and over the filter to remove dirt and dust. Shake all
water residue from the filter and replace it back in the heater. (Note: A mild soap can be applied to
assist in removing dirt and dust from the filter)
If the heater is not to be used for an extended period of time, it can be stored away. Make sure the
power is turned off and the cord is unplugged from the receptacle. Wrap the cord around the
handle on the rear of the portable heater. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on
the heater. You may want to pack it back in its original carton. Always store the heater in a dry
and dust free environment.
(Note: You may want to clean the filter prior to storing the heater away so that it is ready for
operation the next time it is put in use.)
