How It Works

The smart+ products Infrared Heater works with your in-home furnace to provide supplement heat.

In short, room temperature air circulates from the rear of the smart+ products Infrared Heater, passes through a highly efficient filter, enters a chamber that houses the Infrared Quartz Bulbs, and exits as heated air from the Diathermanous Copper Plate constructed on the front of the unit.

The smart+ products Infrared Heater ideally heats a room of 500 to 700 square feet, but can be used to heat up a single room size up to 1000 square feet depending on the ambient temperature.

And it does all this with a noise level below 46db. The smart+ products Infrared Heater is not for use as the primary/sole heating system.

Components and Functions

A. The smart+ products Infrared Heater is constructed with Infrared Quartz Bulbs. Each

Infrared Quartz Bulb is rated at 375W. These bulbs produce therapeutic infrared rays that warm the air which passes through the inner chamber. The Infrared Quartz Bulbs are constructed with a stainless steel thermal conducting housing. The incorporated twisted style increases the efficiency of the unit.

B. An AC Cross Flow Fan pushes air over these Infrared Quartz Bulbs. Cross Flow Fans create a wide flow of air using a cylindrical-shaped impeller. Air is drawn inside the smart+ products Infrared Heater, flows along the circumference of the chamber and over the

Infrared Quartz Bulbs, and is blown out laterally creating a uniform flow of warm air.

C. The smart+ products Infrared Heater has a Delay Start Function which controls the AC

Cross Flow Fan. The purpose of the Delay Start Function is to allow the Infrared Quartz

Bulbs to heat up before the fan begins to circulate the air flow. In addition, the AC Cross

Flow Fan will continue to circulate the airflow after the power is turned off to circulate the warm air from the smart+ products Infrared Heater cooling the unit down.

D. The air flow exits through the front of the smart+ products Infrared Heater. It travels from the Diathermanous Copper Plate. The Diathermanous Copper Plate is constructed from red copper making it advantageous for efficient thermal conductivity. It is a resourceful material in reflecting the infrared rays.

E. The LED Digital Display is a convenient, stylish, and modern way to display the set temperature and time. This attractive addition compliments the smart+ products Infrared

(Note: Make sure you understand the difference between the set/desired temperature and the ambient room temperature readings on the heater. The set/desired temperature reading is defaulted to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. You see this displayed when you first turn on the heater. The set/desired temperature reading has nothing to do with calibrating the heater. The ambient temperature is what the heater believes to be the current room temperature. To find the ambient room temperature, you must push the temperature button + time button and let go quickly. This will display the ambient room temperature and this is the temperature you want to match your home thermostat reading (primary heating device). The ambient room temperature on the heater is what needs to be calibrated. For example, if your home thermostat says 70 degrees Fahrenheit and the heater has an ambient room temperature reading of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, you will need to calibrate the heater to -5. Please keep in mind that if your home thermostat temperature sensor is in a different room, there may always be a few degrees variance between it and the heater. Now the heater will read the current room temperature 75 degree Fahrenheit as well.)

(Note: To set back to factory settings, hold down the TIME button for (5) seconds. This will set all values back to default.)

7) The smart+ products Infrared Heater can be turned off by pressing the POWER button. DO

NOT TURN OFF THE MASTER POWER SWITCH ON THE REAR OF THE HEATER OR

UNPLUG THE HEATER UNTIL THE FAN SHUTS DOWN. If the heater is left on using the

TIME function, there will be (5) second sound alert to let you know that the time is expiring.

If no actions are taken, the heater will shut off.

Recommendations for Maximum Performance

1. Be sure not to place the heater in an area where the air flow or air movement is great.

2. Direct the outflow towards the center of the room and not against a solid structure, like a wall for example. For larger areas, place the heater within a central location.

3. The smart+ products Infrared Heater is designed for maximum efficiency in the 68

0

F to 74

0

F range. This is because of the ambient air moving through the heater and out constantly.

4. Existing HVAC heating system vents should be closed. This allows the heater to function in an isolated area.

5. It is not recommended to operate heater in areas exposed to non-insulated concrete or metal walls. Concrete floors should be covered to insulate the heat within the room.

6. If the heater filters become dirty or dusty, they must be cleaned for the heater to operate at its maximum efficiently.

Care, Maintenance, and Storage

Before care or maintenance is applied, always unplug the cord from the receptacle. The cabinet housing can be wiped down with water and a damp cloth or with furniture polish. The heater has a washable filter. The filter should be cleaned regularly to provide for maximum performance. Once the filter is removed, run warm water through and over the filter to remove dirt and dust. Shake all water residue from the filter and replace it back in the heater. (Note: A mild soap can be applied to assist in removing dirt and dust from the filter)

If the heater is not to be used for an extended period of time, it can be stored away. Make sure the power is turned off and the cord is unplugged from the receptacle. Wrap the cord around the handle on the rear of the portable heater. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on the heater. You may want to repack it back in its original carton. Always store the heater in a dry and dust free environment.

(Note: You may want to clean the filter prior to storing the heater away so that it is ready for operation the next time it is put in use.)
