PREPARATION
Plug the heater into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet. Only operate heater in upright position.
Please note that infrared heaters do not heat like a traditional space heater. You should not expect
infrared heaters to blow hot air like a traditional space heater. Infrared heaters heat objects not air.
Infrared heaters are intended to supplement an already heated, insulated room. Square footage
specifications assume a single enclosed room not an entire home. Infrared heaters do not heat
through walls, floors, and are not intended to replace a main heat source. Infrared heat can take at
least 24 hours to warm a room but operate much more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature.
Infrared heaters will not work well in uninsulated unheated spaces like screened in porches, RV’s,
garages, unheated basements, etc.
