Maintenance and Care Maintenance and Care
Filter Maintenance
The only maintenance required for this zone
heater is the periodic cleaning of the filter
(located at the back of the unit). Vacuum
or wash the filter at least once a month, or
as dust becomes visible to ensure efficient
operation of the heater.
• Turn the power off by pressing the on/off
switch on the back of the heater to Off.
• Unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
• Remove the filter by gently pulling it
straight out from the back of the heater.
• Clean the filter by vacuuming it until all
dust and dirt is removed.
• Replace the filter by gently positioning it
into the back of the heater.
• If filter is extremely dirty, run warm tap
water over it until it is clean. Allow to dry
completely, before replacing the filter
back into the heater.
• Plug in the power cord and turn the
power switch on the back of the heater
to the on position.

Caring For Your SummerBreeze Zone Heater Cabinet
Clean the filter often for maximum performance (see filter maintenance, page 11). When
necessary, wipe the cabinet clean with a soft cloth and/or furniture polish.
Storing Your SummerBreeze Zone Heater
When the heater is not being used for an extended period of time, follow these steps to
extend the life and performance of the heater unit:
• Unplug the heater.
• Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on or inside the unit.
• Store heater in a dry, low dust environment.
Note: Before resuming use of heater, ensure the filter and front grill are clean and clear of
dust and dirt. Inspect the power cord to ensure no damage has compromised the integrity
of the cord.
Suggestions for Best Performance
• Set your central heating system to a lower temperature. Place the zone heater in the area
where you spend most of your time. Now set temperature on the zone heater to your
comfort level.
• When heating larger areas, place the zone heater in a central location.
• Do not locate the zone heater in an area with a high air exchange rate. Heat produced
should be contained in the room.
• Place the zone heater near a warmer inside wall and direct the output toward a cooler
outside wall. The cooler outside wall will draw the generated heat toward it, which
allows more efficient heating.
• Placing the zone heater next to a cold air return will draw the heat away from the area to
be heated. Experiment with the placement of the heater to see what works best
for you.
• If the zone heater is used in an extremely dirty or dusty area, the filter should be cleaned
more often to maintain the heater performance (see Filter Maintenance,
page 11).
