AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Your SUNHEAT Infrared Heater is equipped with an easy to clean,
washable electro-static filter. Regular cleaning and maintenance of
your filter will ensure a lifetime of trouble-free use.
1. Turn off heater, then remove filter from bracket, located on the
back of the heater.
2. Rinse filter by running under warm tap water through the back
side of the filter (opposite of air intake direction) until clear of
dust and debris.
3. If the filter is extremely dirty or clogged with grease, you can
soak the filter in a mild solution of dish soap and water, then
brush with a soft brush and repeat rinsing process.
4. Shake filter to remove excess water and lay on clean cloth or
paper towels to dry. Do not use forced heat to dry the filter.
5. Replace the filter onto heater ONLY after it is completely dry.
The filter should be cleaned every 30 days. However it may be
necessary to clean more often depending upon the environment in
which the heater is operated (pets, rural living, etc.)
NOTE: Never operate heater without filter in place. Without the filter
in place, dust can accumulate in the heater chamber causing
damage to key elements.

WELCOME
Congratulations on the purchase of The Original SUNHEAT model SH-1500
LCD, a safe, portable and supplemental zone heater. The SUNHEAT heater
produces gentle, clean and economical heat by utilizing quartz infrared heat-
ing tubes inside a steel and copper heat exchanger. The infrared heating
process is similar to the way the sun warms the earth. The infrared tubes
transfer heat to cured copper canisters and a whisper quiet fan distributes the
accumulated warmth. This process is unique among heaters in that it mini-
mizes wasteful heat collection at the ceiling height of rooms. The safe infrared
heat is transferred into the living space in an even, energy saving method,
that can be absorbed by you and the objects in the room.
HEATER PLACEMENT
To achieve maximum efficiency of the Original SUNHEAT Portable
Infrared Heater, please consider the following recommendations:
1. Place the heater near the center of the home next to a warmer inside
wall with the heat being blown toward the colder outside walls of the
home. This will allow the thermostat to accurately moderate the tem-
perature, therefore producing a more even warmth.
2. For best results, do not locate the heater in an area with a high rate of
air flow.
3. For maximum efficiency, a 40% (minimum) relative humidity should be
maintained in the heated environment.
4. The SH-1500LCD is designed to operate at maximum efficiency up to
the 70-72˚F range. Due to this unique heat concept, a temperature at
68˚F feels as though it were 72˚F. Similar to a summer heat index,
the moisture in the air holds the heat and transfers it evenly through-
out the entire area.
5. For efficiency, SUNHEAT Infrared Heaters are not recommended for
use in areas with exposed, non-insulated, concrete, or metal walls.
You can use the SH-1500LCD in any room, whether insulated or not.
However, a non-insulated room will allow for greater heat loss that will
impact the effectiveness of the heater.
6. Keep the area around the heater clear of clutter and obstacles to
insure free airflow into and out from the heater.
