SAVE THESE

 INSTRUCTIONS

•  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.

•  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.

•  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.

- Choose Low ( ) to use 900 watts of power 

- Choose High ( ) to use 1500 watts of power

 NOTE:
