cold air return. This will alow for more efficient heating.
Experiment with the placement of the heater to see what
works best for you.
• To ensure maximum efficiency, a 30% minimum relative
humidity should be maintained in the heated environment.
• The heater is designed to operate for maximum efficiency
in the 68-74 degree range. Due to the soft heat concept,
temperatures at 68 degrees F feel as though it were
72 degrees F. This is due to the heat mixing with humidity
evenly for head-to-toe comfort.
• When the heater is placed in an isolated area, i.e. basement
or recreation area, any existing HVAC heating system vents
should be closed in that area, if possible. This allows the
heater to maintain the isolated area more efficiently.
• If placing the heater a few feet above the floor, such in
rooms with large areas of bare concrete, make sure the
heater is secure and won’t fall. This will allow for more
efficient heating since concrete acts as a heat sink and will
tend to draw the heat in its direction. Optimally, concrete
floors should be covered to provide some insulation factor
from the concrete.
• For zone heating: set your central heating system to a lower
temperature. Place the heater in the area you spend the most
of your time. Now set the heater to your comfort level.
• When heating larger areas, place the heater in a central
location.
• If the heater is used in an extremely dirty area, the filter
must be cleaned more frequently to maintain heater
performance.
