General Safety WARNINGS!

When using this electric unit, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of re,

electric shock, and injury to persons, including the

following:

mWARNING!

• Read all instructions before using the heater.

• DO NOT plug the heater into any other cord-connected

device such as: power strip, surge protector, multiple

outlet adapter, grounding adapter, outlet-type air

fresheners, or extension cords. Plug into a 3-prong, 120V,

15 amp or higher grounded circuit receptacle only.

• DO NOT plug the heater into a loose tting or broken

receptacle.

• DO NOT alter the heater's design; doing so will void the

warranty.

• DO NOT block the front or rear of the heater.

• DO NOT place anything directly in front of the heater.

• DO NOT cover the unit, as this may block air ow and

cause the heater to malfunction.

• DO NOT use the heater outdoors or for heating

construction sites.

• This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry

areas, and similar damp or humid indoor locations. Never

place the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other

water container.

• DO NOT force the lter to dry using any alternative

methods when performing lter maintenance; any method

other than air drying could damage the lter.

• DO NOT run the power cord under carpeting.

• DO NOT cover the power cord with throw rugs, runners,

or similar covers. Arrange the cord away from trac areas

where it will not be tripped over.

• DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any

ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may cause an

electric shock or re, or may damage the heater.

• DO NOT use in areas where gasoline, paint, or ammable

liquids are used or stored; the heater has hot parts that

could ignite such liquids.

• The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, DO NOT let

bare skin touch hot surfaces.

• DO NOT operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug,

or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped, or has

been damaged in any manner. For service and/or repair,

contact your authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®dealer or

call the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service center at

1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

• To disconnect the heater, rst turn the power o, then

remove the plug from the outlet.

• To prevent a possible re, DO NOT block air intakes or

exhausts in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, such

as a bed, where openings may become blocked.

• Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any

other use may cause re, electric shock, or injury to

persons.

• DO NOT use this heater in or around a bathtub, shower, or

swimming pool.

Suggestions for Best Performance

To use the heater most eciently, a minimum of 30% relative

humidity should be maintained, which is fairly standard in most

homes. If you are unsure of humidity level, you can purchase a

hygrometer rather inexpensively at most any hardware store.

NOTE: If you do not have a humidier and need to increase

the humidity level in your house, you can bring a pot of water

to a boil and allow most of the water to evaporate into the air.

The added humidity that this introduces to the room will allow

the infrared heater to more eectively heat your home.

• If using the heater in a room with a bare concrete oor,

you should place the heater no less than 3 feet above the

oor, and in a secure location where it will not fall. Bare

concrete oors tend to absorb the heat.

• Place the heater in a room where the most time is spent

during non-sleep hours, such as the family den. Set your

central heating system a few degrees lower than normal

(typically 3 to 5 degrees), and let your infrared heater

warm the room.

• If using the heater in a very large room, try placing it near

the center of the room.

• If you are using the heater in a dusty or dirty environment,

the lter on the back of the heater should be cleaned more

often than the recommended once-a-month.

• Do not place the heater in rooms that are high air-

exchange rooms. For example, if your kitchen door is

opened 20 times per day, and it is 20 degrees Fahrenheit

outside, do not place the heater in the kitchen.

• If the heater is placed in a basement or closed-o area,

the vents to the central heating system should be closed

in that area to maximize the heater's performance and

reduce air exchange.

Electrical Safety

mWARNING! This heater has a voltage rating of 120

volts. It comes with a grounded (3 prong) plug. The grounded

plug must be used with a grounded outlet. Do not use an

adapter in a 2-slot wall outlet unless the ground plug of the

adapter properly connects to a building ground. Using heater

without properly grounded outlet or adapter could result in an

electric shock hazard.

The cord has a plug as shown in A in the gure below. An

adapter as shown in C is available for connecting three-blade

grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The grounding

lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as a properly grounding outlet box

as shown in B. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot

grounded receptacle is available.

mWARNING! It is normal for the power cord to feel

warm to the touch; however, a loose t between the outlet and

the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try

inserting the plug into a dierent outlet. Contact a qualied

electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

Overheat Safety Feature

This heater is equipped with an overheat safety feature. When

the heater’s internal components reach a certain temperature

that could cause overheating or possible re, the heater will

automatically shut o.

1. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the

voltage on the rating plate.

2. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle;

never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap

(outlet/power strip).

3. To avoid re or shock hazard, plug the unit directly into a

120 V AC electrical outlet.

4. Connect to properly grounded outlets only.

5. Do not touch electrical plugs with wet hands.

6. Do not run the cord under carpeting and do not cover

the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.

Arrange the cord away from trac areas where it will not

be tripped over.

7. Immediately replace and dispose of damaged wires

and plugs.

8. This heater includes an overheat protection system that

shuts o the heater when parts of the heater are getting

excessively hot. If the heater shuts o, immediately turn

the heater OFF and inspect for any objects, on or adjacent

to the heater, which may cause high temperatures. DO

NOT OPERATE THE HEATER UNTIL IT IS RESET. To

reset the heater, turn OFF the main power switch, unplug

it from the electrical outlet, and wait ve to ten minutes

for the unit to cool down before plugging it back in and

turning the heater on.

9. Always unplug the heater when it is not in use.

10. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the appliance by its

cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep

the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

11. It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm

to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the

touch or becomes distorted in shape may be the result of

a worn electric outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should

be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging this

heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the

power cord or re.

12. Make sure the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate

receptacle. Be mindful that receptacles also deteriorate

due to aging and continuous use. Check periodically

for signs of overheating or deformations of the plug. If

any overheating or deformation occurs, immediately

discontinue using the heater and contact your authorized

Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®dealer or call the Snow Joe®+

Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE

(1-866-766-9563).

13. Check your heater cord and plug connections. Faulty wall

outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlets

or plug to overheat. During use, please check frequently

to determine if your plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! If

so, discontinue using the heater and/or have a qualied

electrician to check and replace the faulty outlet(s).

Introduction

The heater utilizes the latest infrared heat technology. It

provides a safe, convenient, clean and economical way

to distribute heat throughout your home or oce without

producing deadly fumes or monoxide gases.

The heater is constructed of a wood housing. It is equipped

with locking nylon caster wheels for easy mobility. The highly

ecient air lter can be maintained and cleaned by simply

vacuuming or blowing clean with an air compressor. Do not get

charcoal lters wet.

What is infrared heat and how does it

work?

Infrared heat uses a shorter wave length and is able to

penetrate solid objects. By doing so, such objects in the room

then give o heat. Instead of just heating the air around you,

infrared heat will warm any object that it makes contact with;

including your body.

Comfort levels and therapeutic benets

of infrared heat

The infrared heater will heat a room evenly from oor to ceiling;

even rooms with high ceilings are not a problem. There is no

need for a separate fan to circulate the heat in the room. The

heater is a true infrared heating system that contains four

infrared heating elements.

The infrared heat penetrates the body and warms it faster than

a conventional heater. A typical room that is at 68 degrees

that is heated with true far infrared heat will feel more like 72

degrees. Therefore, if you set the house thermostat back 4 to

5 degrees, you will experience the same comfort level as a 72

degree room while using less energy to keep you warm.

The infrared heater also sterilizes the air that passes through

it. When the air enters through the back of the heater, the

four infrared heating elements heat the air to a temperature

between 180 and 200 degrees. As a result of the high-

temperature, germs and other airborne pests are eliminated!

Most homes have the heating and air conditioning using

the same air ducts. These ducts accumulate dust, bacteria,

mold, germs, and other contaminants. If not cleaned properly,

this can cause allergies and respiratory problems, and may

adversely aect people with asthma as well. Since the infrared

heater has no ductwork, there is no place for bacteria, mold,

dust, or pollen to accumulate.

Energy-saving benets and other

amenities

Due to their shorter wave length, infrared heat waves are

transferred rapidly throughout the room. The results are

impressive; it requires less energy to heat the room evenly!

As a supplemental heat source, the infrared heater is one of

the most cost-eective and ecient heating systems for your

home. The infrared heater's heating design is much quieter

than oil-based or baseboard heaters. The fan noise in the

heater is about half the decibel level of other conventional

heaters.

The patented quartz heating elements in the heater are

designed to last about 20,000 hours.

The internal electronic thermostat allows the heater to stay

accurate. Simply set the heater to your desired comfort

level, sit back, and enjoy a warm, comfortable, and cozy

environment.
