YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Electrical appliances may expose people to hazards that can cause severe injury as well as death. The use of electrical products may create hazards that include, but are not limited to, injury, fire, electrical shock, and electrical system damage. These instructions are intended to provide you with the information you need to use the product and to avoid such hazards. When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Warning – Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. Warning – This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
3. Warning – Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Warning – Always unplug the heater when not in use.
5. Warning – Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard the heater or return the heater to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
6. Warning – For residential use only.
7. Warning – Do not use outdoors.
8. Warning – This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar indoor locations. Never locate the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

10. Warning – This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown in Fig. 1, and an adapter, as shown, is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available. Do not circumvent the safety features of the grounding-type plug. Do not modify the power cord.
11. Warning – This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
12. Warning – It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
13. Warning – To disconnect the heater, first turn off the product, then grip the plug body and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
14. Warning – Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
15. Warning – To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, or where openings may become blocked.
16. Warning – A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
17. Warning – Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

20. Warning – Do not remove product labels that contain warnings or safety instructions.
21. Caution – The output of this heater may vary, and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
22. Caution – Before cleaning, or storage, or when not in use, turn the product’s controls to the OFF position and unplug the heater from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
23. Caution – Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from any combustible materials. DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep carpeting. Be sure the heater is not in a position where it may be tripped over by small children or pets.
24. Caution – If your home has aluminum wiring, have a licensed electrician check your receptacles’ connections. When using a 1500-watt heater, aluminum wire connections can cause a safety issue.

Product Specifications

This product is rated 12.5 Amps (1500 Watts) at 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

ABOUT INFRARED TECHNOLOGY

• Infrared energy is light within the spectrum that cannot be seen but can be detected by heat.
• Infrared heaters use quartz lamps to generate such a spectrum of light. In the Honeywell Infrared Heater, six long-lasting quartz elements heat the inner metal chamber. Air is drawn into the back of the heater by a fan, it passes through the warmed copper reflectors, and out the front of the heater to gently introduce soothing, warm air into the room.
• This type of heating technology provides comfortable, efficient, and even heating. It is designed with fan power to improve convection in order to provide core comfort to you and in extra-large spaces.

  • If Fan, the heater is drawing only enough power to run the fan to cool the quartz elements
  • If at Temp, the heater is drawing no power as the room has reached the Desired Temperature
• To save up to 25% in energy bills†, set the EnergySmart® thermostat by pressing the Thermostat Control Buttonsand choose a Desired Temperature between 60-85°. The EnergySmart® thermostat will automatically select the appropriate power level to best accommodate your Desired Temperature. As the air temperature (Current Temp) in the room approaches the Desired Temperature, the heater will automatically adjust the power consumption to provide consistent warmth without wasting energy.
• To override the EnergySmart® function, simply press the Thermostat Control Buttonsto choose either Constant Low (L1) or Constant High (L2) Heat.
• To set the Timer, press the Timer Buttonto select 2, 4, 6 or 8-hour setting. The heater will run for that chosen period in the selected mode, counting down the hours and automatically shut off after the desired time has passed.
