FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Once I plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
A. The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon powering on . A noticeable change in
the ambient temperature of the room will vary due to variables such as the location of the heater (in
the home), floor plan and size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows,
how much bare concrete (acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an
exterior door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc . Customers with smaller rooms experience quick heat
changes . Rooms with larger and open floor plans can expect up to 24 hours to completely heat up .
Q. I do not have a grounded outlet. Can I use a 2-prong power strip, or remove the ground
prong from the cord?
A. NO! If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice . Removing
or altering any part of the heater’s original design or intent (including the power cord) will void the
warranty and make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results .
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and another appliance at the
same time?
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit . Each heater requires its own
minimum 15-amp circuit with no other items plugged into that circuit or outlet . This is because heaters
are considered appliances and draw out high amperage . If you are unsure whether your circuit meets
these requirements, verify with a certified electrician .
WARNING: Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met .
