4) Again, the default set temperature displayed on the LED display is 72 0 F. By pressing the TEMP
button, the LED display will switch to the temperature status and flash. You must press the
HI/LOW/UP button or
0 C/ 0 F/DOWN button once again within (5) seconds to set the desired
temperature. Each time you press the HI/LOW/UP button, the temperature setting will increase
by 1
0 F. Press the 0 C/ 0 F/DOWN button and the time will decrease by 1 0 F. The maximum
temperature setting is 86 0 F (30 0 C). If you hold the HI/LOW/UP button or 0 C/ 0 F/DOWN button for
(2) seconds, the number rotation will cycle more quickly.
5) Press the HI/LOW/UP button to switch from HI (rated at 1500W) to LOW (rated at 750W). The
default setting is HI.
6) The SGH Infrared Heater can be turned off by pressing the POWER button. DO NOT TURN OFF
THE MASTER POWER SWITCH ON THE REAR OF THE HEATER OR UNPLUG THE HEATER
UNTIL THE FAN SHUTS DOWN. If the heater is left on using the TIME function, there will be (5)
second sound alert to let you know that the time is expiring. If no actions are taken, the heater
will shut off.
7) Note that the temperature displayed on the heater may not always match the temperature
displayed on wall thermostats, thermometers, or other external temperature read-outs. This is
because the heater is often located near the floor, which allows for it to register the temperature
of the cooler air near and around the floor (warmer air rises up). It does not necessarily mean
your room is that cooler or that the heater is not heating. If your heater’s display and your external
temperature read-out mechanism (thermometer, wall thermostat, etc.) are within a 5 to 6 degree
difference, it is completely normal.

Recommendations for Maximum Performance
1. 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 SGH Infrared Heater is designed for maximum efficiency in the 68 0 F to 74 0 F 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 at 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 repack 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.)
