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 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 reectors and out the front of the heater to gently introduce soothing, warm air into the room.

• This type of heating technology provides comfortable, ecient 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.

GETTING STARTED

Register your heater online and extend your warranty by six additional months. Log on to www.honeywellheatsavings.com/registration/ and simply ll out the registration form to register your product.

SET UP

• The Honeywell Infrared Heater requires no assembly. Simply unpack the heater and save all packaging materials for o-season storage.

• Place the heater on a rm, 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 large Cool Touch handle and easy glide caster wheels for your convenience.

• To activate the battery, simply pull the plastic tab.

• Place remote control in the holder under the handle of the heater when not in use.

OPERATION

• NOTE: NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING UNIT UNATTENDED

• Plug the heater into a 3 prong or grounded 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE 3 PRONG PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only t one way.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 or EnergySmart® (HZ-970/HZ-980 Series) Settings do not require as much electricity to operate, they are more energy ecient and may be better options if you are concerned about the amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting.

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

**Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customer by End-Use, US Energy Information Administration, March 2013.

† Compared to a standard 1500W heater. Amount of savings

will be based on various factors, including the room temperature near the heater, room size, and the degree of room insulation which can be affected by drafty windows, doors, etc.
