IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE PLUG ON YOUR PRODUCT

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 a 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 reflectors and out the front of the heater to gently introduce soothing, warm air into the room.
• This type of heating technology provides comfortable, efficient, and even heating. It is designed with fan power to improve convection to provide core comfort to you and in extra large spaces.

SET UP

• The Honeywell Infrared Heater requires no assembly. Simply unpack the 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.
