- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, DO NOT plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances working.
- It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
- To disconnect the heater, first turn off the product, then grip the plug body and pull it from the wall outlet. DO NOT pull by the cord.
- DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.
- To prevent a possible fire, DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. DO NOT use on soft surfaces, like a bed, or where openings may become blocked.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. DO NOT use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- ALWAYS plug the heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. DO NOT use an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
- NEVER tamper with this product or attempt to fix it. Any tampering with, or modification of this product can result in serious injury, death, or fire. DO NOT open. Risk of electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- DO NOT remove product labels that contain warnings or safety instructions.
- The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
- Before cleaning, storage, or when not in use, turn the product’s controls to the OFF position unplug the heater from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool.
- Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from any combustible materials. 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 small children or pets.
- If your home has aluminum wiring have a licensed electrician check your receptacle’s connections. When using a 1500-watt heater, aluminum wire connections can cause a safety issue.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SET UP
The Honeywell TurboForce® Heater Fan 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.
MOVING THE HEATER
This heater is equipped with a recessed carrying handle for your convenience. Turn off the heater. Allow it to cool for ten minutes. Unplug the heater and move.
OPERATION
NOTE: Never leave an operating unit unattended Model HHF550 Series – Manual TurboForce® Heater Operation
With the Power Knob in the OFF (
) position, plug the heater into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET;
it will only fit one way. The Power Knob is equipped with three (3) settings: (Fig. 1) Fan Only (
), Low (
), and High (
). The Low ( ) heat setting uses 750 watts of power and the High ( ) heat setting uses 1500 watts of power. The Fan only ( ) setting uses very low power and does not provide heat. You can select the proper setting to accommodate your comfort level with the Power Knob. When you choose any setting the red Power Light will come on. The Low ( ) heat setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient and may be a better option if you are concerned about the amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting. Use the Fan-only setting for optimal comfort level year-round.
NOTE: Controls/features will vary slightly by model.
The TurboForce® Heater is also equipped with both a pivoting head and oscillation to provide heat flow how and where you want it most. 3-WAY PIVOT (Fig. 2) – the head of the heater can be adjusted up at 3 different angles – 15°, 30°, 45°- to provide more focused heat flow within the room.
- The 15° pivot angle – allows the heat to flow more directly at a seated level.
- The 30° pivot angle – provides heat flow at a standing level.
- The 45° pivot angle – directs heat flow towards the ceiling. This angle is ideal for helping generate whole-room heat circulation.
OSCILLATION – the TurboForce® Heater also has an oscillation feature that distributes warmed air over a wider area for increased whole-room heat circulation.
- To activate the oscillation feature, press the oscillation (
) button once. Press the oscillation button again to turn the oscillation feature off. - Turn the Power Knob to OFF ( ) and allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then unplug the heater when you are finished using it.
Model HHF565 Series – Digital TurboForce® Heater Operation
Turn the heater on by pressing the Power Button (OFF ). The Power Indicator will illuminate and the heater will start in the Low ( ) heat level setting (Fig. 4). This heater has two operational modes, which can be chosen using the red switch on the back of the unit (Fig. 3):
Continuous heating (
) – the heater will run until it is manually shut off. Auto-Off (
) mode – The heater will automatically shut off after 8 hours each time that you use the heater. This built-in feature helps ensure that the heater is not accidentally left on for an extended period.
Model HHF565 Series – Digital TurboForce® Heater Operation (contd)
The TurboForce® Heater is also equipped with both a pivoting head and an innovative selectable oscillation feature to provide heat flow how and where you want it most. 3 WAY PIVOT (Fig. 5) – the head of the heater can be adjusted up at 3 different angles – 15°, 30°, 45° – to provide more focused heat flow within the room.
- The 15° pivot angle – allows the heat to flow more directly at a seated level.
- The 30° pivot angle – provides heat flow at a standing level.
- The 45° pivot angle – directs heat flow towards the ceiling. This angle is ideal for helping generate whole-room heat circulation.
3-WAY OSCILLATION (Fig. 6) – the TurboForce®
The heater has been engineered to include a unique selectable oscillation feature which allows for an even more customized approach to heat circulation.
- The 60° oscillation angle – provides heat flow within a more personal, focused area.
- The 90° oscillation angle – allows for wider area coverage.
- The 120° oscillation angle – covers more of the room, providing a whole room heat circulation experience.
SAFEGUARD® AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE
(HHF565 Series Only)
The Honeywell TurboForce® Heater is enhanced with a SafeGuard® Auto Shut-Off feature. This innovative feature is designed to automatically shut the heater off after 8 hours of continuous use.
How it works: By default, the TurboForce® Heater comes with the Auto Shut-Off feature engaged. If you choose to operate the heater in the Auto Shut-Off mode ( ), the heater will shut off automatically after 8 hours every time the heater is used, unless the heater is turned off before the 8-hour auto-off time. All features are functional while operating in the Auto Shut-Off setting. If you choose to disengage this feature, the unit will operate in the Continuous heat mode ( ).
- Press the SafeGuard® Auto Shut-Off switch on the back of the unit (Fig. 7) to select either the Auto Shut-Off or Continuous heating modes. The corresponding icon will illuminate the controls to indicate which mode you are in.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Honeywell TurboForce® Heater is equipped with several features for added protection:
- A 360° tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is tipped in any direction.
- A high-temperature safety sensor prevents overheating.
- This heater is also equipped with a thermal cut-off fuse that will permanently shut down the heater should it operate at a higher-than-normal temperature. If activated, the unit will need to be replaced.
- This heater was built using a high-temperature plastic and has a cool-to-touch housing and handle.
- This heater is designed with thermal insulated wiring for heat resistance and reinforced wire connections to help protect against loose connections.
- The HHF565 Series models also include a SafeGuard® Auto Shut-Off feature. If selected, this feature is designed to automatically shut the heater off after 8 hours of continuous use.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
