WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR COMFORT FURNACE

The Comfort Glow portable comfort furnace is not intended to replace your central heating system nor is it

intended to be a sole heating source. Your comfort furnace is intended as a supplemental zone heating

source. The goal of this heater is to reduce the total home heating costs by allowing you to turn back the

central heat system and provide supplemental heat to the rooms being occupied.

The Comfort glow portable comfort furnace is not an instant room heater. It may take 24-36 hours for your

heater to reach maximum efficiency. The portable comfort furnace will warm all the elements in the area

being heated (furniture, floors, walls etc.) This will take some time based on the size of the area, insulation

ambient temperature and many other factors but once these elements are heated they will help to maintain a

steadier room temperature and less on/off cycling of your central heat. You will notice that the furnace does

not rely on high speed flow of air. This sensitive flow is by design. The purpose of the built in circulator is to

move a large volume of air without creating hot/cold spots in the area being heated, and thereby promoting a

more consistent room temperature.

Please follow these suggestions:

1) Close doors to areas you do not wish to heat.

2) Locate a three prong outlet along an interior wall if possible. Position the heater so that the warm air can blow

unobstructed across the room towards the exterior walls.

3) Check your windows and doors for the infiltration of cold air and insulate as needed to avoid heat loss. Rapid

heat loss will minimize the effectiveness of your Infrared heater as it would any conventional type heater.

4) Keep the area around the heater free of obstructions to insure maximum airflow. Keep electrical cords,

drapery, furniture, and other combustibles 3 feet (0.9 M) away from the front of the heater and away from the

sides.

5) Avoid locating your heater in high traffic areas or in direct sunlight.

6) Avoid locating your heater near your central heating thermostat.

FILTER MAINTENANCE

Your heater is equipped with a washable filter. For proper operation this filter must be kept clean. If the heater is used

without the filter, dirt and dust can accumulate inside and may cause the unit to smell while in operation and could lead

to operational problems. Use without a filter will void your warranty.

1) WARNING! Make sure the power is turned off before performing any maintenance. Turn off heater, by using

the main power switch on the rear of the unit and unplug the heater from the wall outlet.

2) Remove the filter from the rear of the heater.

3) Vacuuming will generally clean the filter in most cases.

4) If dirt remains, rinse filter with warm tap water through the rear side of the filter (opposite of air intake

direction) until clear of dust and debris.

5) If the filter is extremely dirty or clogged with grease, you can soak the filter in a mild solution of dish soap and

water, and repeat rinsing process.

6) Shake filter to remove excess water and lay on clean cloth or paper towels to dry. Do not use heat source to dry

filter.

7) Replace filter in heater ONLY after it is completely dry.
