Preparation:
• Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120V, 60Hz power outlet.
• Only operate heater when it is in an upright position.
• Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control before using. Batteries are not included.
To add or replace the batteries, remove the battery cover from the remote. Do this by pushing down on the
arrow on the top of the battery cover and sliding it away from the remote. Insert two AAA batteries (not
included) and close the remote by sliding the battery covering back on to the remote.
Note: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (NiCad,
Ni-MH, etc.) batteries.
Please note that infrared heaters do not heat or blow hot air like a traditional space heater. Infrared heaters are intended to supplement an already-heated, insulated room. Square footage specifications assume a single enclosed room, not an entire home. Infrared heaters do not heat through walls or floors, and are not intended to replace a main heat source. Infrared heat can take at least 24 hours to warm a room, but they operate more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature. Infrared heaters will not work well in uninsulated, unheated spaces like screened-in porches, RV’s, garages, unheated basements, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. My heater emits a strange odor when I first open the box, and when I turn it on for the first time. Why is this happening?
A. This is normal. The heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This odor can be present when the box is opened. When the coating is exposed to heat during the first few hours of operation there will be an odor. This odor will dissipate after the break-in period. If you are sensitive to odors, you may want to first run the heater in a garage or other area of your home with the doors open, and away from flammable materials, until the initial odor goes away.
Q. If my heater runs on approximately 1,500 watts, how many BTUs is that? Is that a lot of heat?
A. At 1,500 watts your heater will produce approximately 5,100 BTUs. The Ivation Infrared Quartz Fireplace
Heater is intended to be used as a supplemental source of heat. It may take several minutes to several hours to heat the area in which you’re using it, depending on various factors.
Q. Once I plug the heater in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
A. The heating process begins immediately when the power is turned on, and the desired temperature is set above the room’s current temperature. A noticeable change in room temperature will vary due to variables such as: the location of the heater in the room, the floor plan and size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows are in the room, how much bare concrete is there, the opening and closing of an exterior door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Smaller rooms experience quicker heat changes. Rooms with larger and open floor plans can take up to 24 hours to completely heat up.
Q. I do not have a grounded outlet. Can I use a two-prong power strip, or remove the ground prong from the cord?
A. NO. If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice. Removing or altering any part of the heater’s original design (including the power cord) will void the warranty, and make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.
Q. The temperature on my heater does not match the temperature display on my thermostat.
Why?
A. This is completely normal. The heater’s temperature sensor reads the temperature directly around the heater. With the heater near the cold floor, any readings on an elevated or external thermostat will differ from the reading on the heater. The best way to operate your heater is to set the unit on HIGH and dial up to a temperature that feels comfortable. Then, leave it at that temperature, regardless of whether it matches the temperature on your thermostat. The heater will cycle off when the set temperature is met or exceeded slightly.
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and another appliance at the
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same outlet. Each heater requires its own 15-amp outlet.
No other items can be plugged into that outlet. This is because heaters are considered appliances, and draw high amperage. If you are unsure whether your outlet meets these requirements, please consult a
WARNING:Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.
Q. Why does my heater’s fan continue to run after the set temperature is reached or the power has been turned off?
A. This is normal. The fan will continue to run even after the heater automatically cycles down. The fan continues to run so that every last bit of heat is blown out of the heater chamber, while allowing the heater to continue to filter your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely, the fan will shut off on its own. In this case, allow a few minutes after the heat cycles off (with the power on). The fan will shut off faster when the power is turned off.
8
Q. My heater’s display shows my room temperature to be in the 20s when I know it is warmer than that. Why?
A. You probably have the setting to read your temperature in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit. Press the C°/F° button on the control panel to switch to Fahrenheit.
Q. My heater’s power cord gets warm. My cord is showing signs of heat or melting at the outlet.
Is this normal?
A. A warm power cord is normal. These power cords are rated for up to 221°F/105°C by the UL, CSA or ETL.
The exception is if you detect heat, smoke, or signs of melting at the contact point on the wall outlet. If any of these conditions occur, please stop using the heater immediately. Contact a qualified electrician to replace the wall outlet as soon as possible.
