INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing one of the best Infrared distribution heaters available on the market

today. Our Infrared Heater is a very safe and effective room heater. It produces safe, clean and

economical heat by utilizing quartz infrared heating elements. The heating process of the

Infrared Heater is similar to the way the sun warms the earth. The infrared elements warm the

heat chamber and the whisper quiet fan distributes the accumulated warmth. This process is

unique among heaters in that it minimizes wasteful heat collection at the ceiling height of rooms

and targets it toward the living space instead. Thank you for being our customer, and enjoy your

heater!

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. This heater must be plugged into a 120V, 15 amp (or more) circuit of its own. Nothing

else can be plugged into the same circuit. If unsure if your home meets this

specification, consult a certified electrician prior to use. Risk of fire, overheat,

malfunction, property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered

to!

2. Connect to a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet only. Do not connect the heater to

extension cords, surge protectors, timers, direct breakers, or an outlet with other

appliances connected to the same outlet. Risk of fire, overheat, malfunction,

property damage, injury, or even death may result if not adhered to!

3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot

surfaces. Use handles (certain models) or wheels to move this heater.

4. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and

curtains from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear of

the heater.

5. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children, invalids,

pets, or when the heater is left operating unattended.

6. Always unplug the heater when not in use.

7. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater

malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. Contact the

manufacturer for resolution options.

8. Do not use outdoors. Exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, snow, sun, wind or

extreme temperatures may cause the heater to become a safety hazard.

9. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor

locations, nor any locations that use GFCI outlets.

10.Never place heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacles.

11.Do not run cord under carpet. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar

coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

12.The heater must be plugged into a wall outlet that is a DEDICATED CIRCUIT, with a

minimum 15 amp rating on that individual circuit.

13.To disconnect the heater: FIRST, turn the power button to the “off” position, then

remove plug from the wall outlet.

14.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not

use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

15.Do not allow foreign objects to enter or block any ventilation or exhaust opening as

this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.

16.Allow at least 3 feet of unobstructed space to the front and rear of the heater to allow

for maximum heat, air, and ventilation flow.

17.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, nor use flammable solvents to

clean the heater. Also, make sure to keep heater dry at all times.

18.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.

19.Do not use abrasive solvents to clean the heater as it may cause damage to the finish

or casing.

This is normal. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This odor will sometimes

be present when the box is opened, and may be compared to a heaters version of “new car smell.” Also,

similar to all hearth appliances (woodstoves, etc.), the coating, exposed to heat, will produce this particular

odor during the first few hours of operation. This will dissipate after the break-in period. If you are sensitive

to odors, you may want to pre-burn the unit in a garage with the door open until the initial odor

dissipates.

At 1500 Watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTUs. 5100 BTUs, compared to your home furnace,

is a very small amount of heat (this heater is intended to be used as supplemental heat in areas most

needed). It may take several minutes, to several hours to heat your area, depending on various factors (see

Heater Placement).

H%+:#If the heater is used as it is intended (as supplement/assist heat), it should cycle on and off, allowing for

it to heat a total of approximately 8 out of the 24 hours of the day. Using the national average of

approximately 10¢ per kWh (look at your bill for exact cost per kWh--will vary per state), your average

heating cost (add a few cents just for having it plugged in) should be less per day compared to your main

furnace. The costs will increase if it is used as the single source of heat, or if heat somehow escapes the

room being heated, since the “on” cycle will run longer.

The Formula: To determine the cost of this or ANY 1500 watt appliance, multiply 1.5 X your cost per

Kilowatt Hour to determine approximately how much it costs you to run the heater. You can find the cost per

KWH prices for your state at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelelectric.html

If after speaking to a LIFESMART Technical Support Agent, it is determined that heating elements have

failed. Heating elements may be replaced by obtaining them from the Manufacturer. All parts may be

purchased through LIFESMART if your product is out of warranty. Note: If you feel that the elements are

definitely faulty right out of the box, contact the LIFESMART Technical Support department first (for

troubleshooting and verification).They can then direct you on to the next step.

The heating process in the heater begins immediately upon powering on, and setting the desired

temperature above the ambient temperature. A noticeable change in the l room’s ambient temperature will

vary. Remember that with any type of heating process, there are many variables: Location of heater (in the

home), floor plan and size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much

bare concrete (acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door,

long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Customers with smaller rooms experience quick heat changes. Rooms with

larger and open floor plans can expect up to 24 hours to completely heat up.

Definitely NOT! If you don’t have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice. Removing or

altering any part of the heater’s original design or intent (including the power cord) will not only void the

warranty, but will make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.

This is completely normal. The temperature display on your heater may vary from the temperature display

on another thermostat (like the one mounted to your wall or a purchased external thermostat). This is

because the temperature sensor on the heater reads the temperature directly around the heater. With the

heater near the cold floor (and heat rising), any readings on elevated or external thermostats will differ in

readings on the heater. The best way to operate your heater is just to set the unit on “High” and dial up to a

temperature that feels comfortable to you. Then, leave it at that temperature, regardless of the mismatch.

The heater will cycle off when the set temperature is met or exceeded slightly.

The answer to these is the same. Yes. You will be able to use it, but keep in mind that rooms/structures with

open floor plans, minimal insulation, adjacent rooms, or high ceilings will not retain the heat as efficiently,

and noticeable heat changes will come slowly. Also, the heater will stay on for longer periods of time (since it

takes so long to cycle off), and may increase your electric costs. Note that if you do use it in a garage or

basement, the moisture levels must be very low and the heater must have a dedicated circuit (15 amps

minimum) with no GFCI outlets being used. If unsure what a GFCI outlet is, contact a certified electrician.

'*)%<#

Yes. But make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each heater (heaters are considered

appliances, and draw out high amperage) requires its own minimum 15 amp circuit (with no other items

plugged into that circuit or outlet). If unsure your circuit meets these requirements, verify with a certified

electrician. Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.

This is normal. The heater’s fan will continue to run, even after the heater automatically cycles down. The

fan continues to run so that every last bit of heat is blown out of the heat chamber, while allowing the unit to

continue filtering your air. Once the internal box/components cool completely, the fan should then shut off on

its own. In this case, allow a few minutes after the heat cycles off (with power on). The fan will shut off faster

when the power is turned off.

This is normal. The heater’s fan’s speed is not affected by the High/Low settings. The fan is designed to

vent the heat at one soft, comfortable, and energy efficient speed. What is affected by the High setting is the

heat output. In essence, in the High mode, the heater produces “more” heat, rather than “faster” heat.

The heater comes with an automatic 1-year limited manufacturer’s warranty at the time of purchase. Your

receipt is considered your proof of purchase and registration. Keep it in a safe place. As long as it is legible,

a copy may be used for any future warranty claims (if requested). If you have access to e-mail, and would

like peace of mind, e-mail us to: 6$I*D%J"%*).K2*#$D1"J%LJ)MN+%DO+)1 In the body of the e-mail, include your

There are many brands of heaters on the market. Each brand is designed with different heat specifications,

designs, trademarks, fan speeds, colors, material types, displays, and electrical components. They are

manufactured this way for you, as the consumer to have choices, selection, and preferences. As long as the

unit functions as specifications indicate, comparison to other brands will ultimately depend on individual

consumer perception.

The compact LIFESMART heater can definitely save you on heating costs, when compared to the existing

central heating system in your home, and when used as supplemental heat. Your heater is designed to give

your main heat source a supplement “boost,” or allow for you to have extra heat (in the form of soft infrared

waves) in locations where you would otherwise be short. It is meant to cycle on and off as it provides the

central heat the boost it needs. If you intend on using it as a single heat source, especially in larger homes

(which you may), expect the heater to 1) take as much as 24 hours to heat the area, 2) stay on for longer

periods of time (without cycling off) due to heat loss, and 3) increased use time, and electric costs.
