INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

• Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates.

• In the Honeywell Ceramic Digital Tower Heater, air is drawn into the back of the heater by a fan, through the ceramic element

and out the front of the heater to gently introduce warm air into the room.

• This type of heating technology provides consistent, even heating.

• For best results, place heater on the floor and allow heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.

SET UP

• The Honeywell Ceramic Digital Tower Heater requires no assembly. Simply unpack heater and save all packaging materials for
off-season storage.

• Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from any wall or
combustible material.

• 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 CHILDREN OR PETS.

MOVING THE HEATER

• This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch handle for your convenience.

• Turn off the heater.

• Allow it to cool for ten minutes.

• Unplug heater and move.

OPERATION

• NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED

• With heater in the OFF position ( ), plug the heater into

Operation Cost*

To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiple the watts used times .001 to convert into a kilowatts measure and multiple by
your local kilowatt electric rate for however long you run the heater. For example, if your electric rate is $.1196**per kilowatt hour
and you ran this heater in constant high mode (1500 watts) for 4 hours, it would cost you $.71 cents to run the heater (1500 watts x
4 hours x.001) x .1196kwp = .71 cents).

NOTE: : Because the Low setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better
option if you are concerned about the higher power consumption when the heater is on the High setting.

*Calculation (Total Wattage x .001) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
