MOVING THE HEATER

This heater is equipped with a recessed carrying handle for your convenience. Turn off the heater. Allow it to cool for ten minutes. Unplug heater and move.

OPERATION

NOTE: The Honeywell TurboForce® Heater requires no assembly.

NOTE: Never leave an operating unit unattended

Model HHF550 Series – Manual TurboForce® Heater Operation

With the Power Knob in the OFF () position, plug the heater into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET;

it will only fit one way.

The Power Knob is equipped with three (3) settings: (Fig. 1) Fan Only (), Low () and High (). The Low () heat setting uses 750 watts of power and the High () heat setting uses 1500 watts of power. The Fan only () setting uses very low power and does not provide heat. You can select the proper setting to accommodate your comfort level with the Power Knob. When you choose any setting the red Power Light will come on. The Low () heat 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 amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting. Use the Fan only setting for optimal comfort level year round.

The TurboForce® Heater is also equipped with both a pivoting head and oscillation to provide heat flow how and where you want it most.

3 WAY PIVOT (Fig. 2) – the head of the heater can be adjusted up at 3 different angles - 15°, 30°, 45° - to provide more focused heat flow within the room.

•The 15° pivot angle – allows the heat to flow more directly at a seated level.

•The 30° pivot angle – provides heat flow at a standing level.

•The 45° pivot angle – directs heat flow towards the ceiling. This angle is ideal to help generate

whole room heat circulation.

OSCILLATION – the TurboForce® Heater also has an oscillation feature which distributes warmed air over a wider area for increased whole room heat circulation.

•To activate the oscillation feature, press the oscillation

() button once. Press the oscillation button again to turn the oscillation feature off.

•Turn the Power Knob to OFF () and allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then unplug the heater when you are finished using it.

To select a Heat Setting, press ():

1.For Low (), this setting uses 750 watts of power

2.For High (), this setting uses 1500 watts of power

NOTE: 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 saving energy.

To use the Fan only (no heat), press the Fan button ().

To set the thermostat, continue to press the Heat Level button () until Auto is illuminated. There are 4 pre-set comfort settings from which to choose: 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°. Continue to press the Heat Level button to select your desired room temperature setting. The heater will operate at HIGH heat in order to reach this desired temperature.

NOTE: If the Current Temperature is higher than your Desired Temperature, the heater will be off until the room temperature falls below your desired temperature.

To set the Timer, press the () button to select 1, 2, 4, or 6 hour setting. The heater will run for that chosen period in the selected mode and automatically shut off after the desired time has passed.
