OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONT.
When I power the heater
ON it doesn’t blow any air
at first
Why doesn’t my heaters
temperature match my
central heating thermostat?
The heater keeps blowing
air when the leaf symbol is
not red or green
The heater does not blow
warm air
The heater is functioning as it should. The first 20 seconds allows the infrared elements to get hot so that once
the fan does begin to blow it will move warm air into the room.
All thermostats vary in their temperature setting. In most cases the central heating thermostat is not as accurate
as your Heat Storm heaters thermostat. However, you can calibrate your Heat Storm heater’s thermostat to
match your central heating thermostat if you choose. Please see the “Calibration” section of this manual.
There is nothing wrong. This is the cool down phase. The heater will run for several minutes. This increases the
lifespan of the heater.
A -Check if the air inlet is blocked or the air filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
B -The ambient temperature is higher than the thermostat setting.
C - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet for 2 hours. After 2 hours plug the unit back into wall outlet, and operate
as normal.
REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
When the remote control stops operating or its range seems reduced, it is time to replace the battery with a new one.
The battery compartment is located on the back end of the remote.
Press and slide the battery door open and remove the old battery.
Insert 2pcs AAA batteries, checking that the + and - sides of the battery match inside the battery compartment.
Replace the battery compartment door.
NOTE: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbonzinc), or rechargeable (nicad, nimh, etc) batteries.
DISPOSAL OF USED BATTERIES
Battery may contain hazardous substances which could endanger the environment and human health.
This symbol marked on the battery and/ or packaging indicates that used battery shall not be treated as municipal waste.
Batteries should be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for recycling.
By ensuring the used batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources. For more information about
collection and recycling of used batteries, please contact your local municipality or your waste disposal service.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: Why does the Blower Fan keep running after I have turned off the rocker switch?
A: The Blower Fan will continue to run until the heat chamber has cooled down. After a few minutes the fan will shut off
automatically. This ensures that the quartz infrared heating elements are cooled properly helping to ensure the longevity
of your heater.
Q: Can the heating elements be replaced?
A: Yes. Contact an authorized repair center.
Q: My cord is getting very hot, especially at the plug. Is that normal?
A: No. Most likely the problem is that the connection from the wall wiring to the outlet is faulty and is causing the outlet and plug
to overheat. Also, make sure there are not too many appliances plugged into outlets on a single circuit. If the problems persist
consult a qualified electrician.
Q: The heater’s airflow seems to have diminished?
A: Make sure the air inlet is not blocked and that the filter is clean. Follow the Filter Maintenance procedure in the Operation
Instructions section.
Q: Once I initially plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
A: Generally, it takes about a half hour. Please remember that with any type of heating process there are many variables; size of
the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (which acts as a heat sink
with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, etc… Therefore, heating performance will vary in every
environment.
Q: Can I use the heater to heat multiple rooms at the same time?
A: Yes. Keep in mind the heating will vary based on how open your floor plan is and the sizes of the rooms involved.
Our suggestion, give it a try and see what works best for you.
Q: My Heater never seems to reach the set temperature, it just keeps running.
A: There are several possible causes. Make sure the filter(s) are clean. If the room is drafty or poorly insulated the thermostat
sensor may be taking an inaccurate reading. Make sure to keep doors closed so that the heater can heat the room. Also,
ensure that the heater is plugged into an interior wall and is not below a window. Often, when a heater is below a window the
cool air from the window is causing an inaccurate temperature reading.
Q: My home is not insulated very well, will this heater help me?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the heat as efficiently and may result in your heater running
longer or more often.
Q: Can I use the heater if I have vaulted or cathedral ceilings?
A: Yes, but it may take longer to heat the room initially. Once the room has reached the desired temperature it will cycle
on and off accordingly.
Q: Can the heater be used in a bathroom?
A: It is not recommended due to the high level of moisture in a bathroom.
