1. FIRST, inspect the package for any obvious damage.
2. Unpack the heater: cut open taped box edges, fold
back box flaps. Gently turn entire box upside down; lift box from protective
packaging.
3. Remove the protective packaging materials and turn
upright; find a level and unobstructed location to place the unpackaged heater.
(NOTE: We recommend keeping the packaging for off-season storage and any
transportation in the unlikely event that servicing is required).
4. Plug the power cord directly into an unused,
grounded 115 volt, 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle.
5. Press the POWER button, located on the control
panel. The heater's temperature setting will show 72°
F on the display. (NOTE: To switch between Celcius and Fahrenheit, press the
DOWN & ENTER buttons simultaneously and hold for about 3 seconds. The display
will convert automatically).
Suggestions for Best Performance
To assure maximum performance of your ComfortZone
heater, please review the following recommendations:
Do not locate the heater in an area with a high air
exchange rate in and out of the room. Heat produced should be contained in the
room.
Try placing the heater near a warmer inside wall and
direct the output toward a cooler outside wall. The cooler outside wall will
tend to draw the generated heat towards it, which will allow for more
efficient heating.
Placing the heater next to a cold air return will
draw the heat away from the area to be heated. Try closing or covering the
cold air return. This will allow for more efficient heating. Experiment with
the placement of the heater to see what works best for you.
To ensure maximum efficiency, a 30% minimum relative
humidity should be maintained in the heated environment. This is usually not a
concern.
The heater is designed to operate for maximum
efficiency in the 68-74 degree range. Due to the soft heat concept, as
explained earlier, temperatures at 68 degrees F feel as though it were 72
degrees F. This is due to the heat mixing with humidity evenly for head-to-toe
comfort.
When the heater is placed in an isolated area, i.e.
basement or recreation area, any existing HVAC heating system vents should be
closed in that area, if possible. This allows the heater to maintain the
isolated area more efficiently.
If placing the heater a few feet above the floor,
such as in rooms with large areas of bare concrete, make sure the heater is
secure and won't fall. This will allow for more efficient heating since
concrete acts as a heat sink and will tend to draw the heat in its direction.
Optimally, concrete floors should be covered to provide some insulation factor
from the concrete.
Set your central heating system to a lower
temperature. Place the heater in the area you spend the most of your time. Now
set the heater to your comfort level. There is no point in heating multiple
rooms to 68+ degrees F when not in use.
When heating larger areas, place the heater in a
central location.
If the heater is used in an extremely dirty or dusty
area, the filter must be cleaned more frequently to maintain heater
performance.
Detailed Operating Instructions
Turning Power On 1. Press the POWER button on the left side of the Control Panel. The
heater's quartz heating elements will light up inside the heater.
2. After a few minutes, once the air within the heater is warm, the heater fan
(some models have 2) will begin to operate.
Turning Power Off 1.Press the POWER button located on the left side of the Control Panel.
2. The sound of the heater fan will continue until the heat has been completely
vented, thus protecting the unit and preventing waste by cycling the remaining
heat into the room. (NOTE: DO NOT unplug the heater until the sound of the
fan has stopped. Doing so may cause damage to the unit.
Setting the Temperature This feature allows you to set the temperature your heater will maintain.
1. Press the temperature (TEMP) button on the Control Panel; the SET TEMP
indicator will illuminate and the temperature display will flash.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the temperature and press enter.
3. The SET TEMP light will turn off, and the temperature is now set.
Setting the Timer This feature allows you to set a future time for the heater to turn itself
on. For example, if you set the time for 1 hour, the heater will turn on in 1
hour.
1. Turn the power off (heater must be powered off to use the timer feature).
2. Press the TIME button on the Control Panel - the two zeros to the right will
flash (:00), indicating 0 minutes have been set, and the DELAY START indicator
will illuminate.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button to select desired number of minutes (up to 59
minutes) that you would like the heater to wait to turn itself on.
4. Press the ENTER button - the two zero buttons to the left will flash (00:),
indicating 0 hours have been set.
5. Press the UP or DOWN button to the desired number of hours (up to 24 hours),
and then press the ENTER button.
6. DELAY START indicator will flash until the unit comes on after waiting the
period of time you have set.
7. To cancel the timer, press the power button and the timer will stop.
Switching between Fahrenheit & Celsius
Press the DOWN & ENTER buttons simultaneously and hold for about 3 seconds. The
display will update automatically.
