Suggestions for Best Performance
To assure maximum performance of your Oreck Heatwise™
Infrared Heater, please review the following recommendations:
• Do not locate the heater in an area with a high air exchange
rate in and out of the room. Heat produced should be
contained in the room.
• Try placing the heater near a warmer inside wall and direct
the output toward a cooler outside wall. The cooler outside
wall will tend to draw the generated heat towards it, which
will allow for more efficient heating.
• Placing the heater next to a cord air return will draw the heat
away from the area to be heated. Try closing or covering the

cold air return. This will alow for more efficient heating.
Experiment with the placement of the heater to see what
works best for you.
Operation
• To ensure maximum efficiency, a 30% minimum relative
humidity should be maintained in the heated environment.
• The heater is designed to operate for maximum efficiency
in the 68-74 degree range. Due to the soft heat concept,
temperatures at 68 degrees F feel as though it were
72 degrees F. This is due to the heat mixing with humidity
evenly for head-to-toe comfort.
• When the heater is placed in an isolated area, i.e. basement
or recreation area, any existing HVAC heating system vents
should be closed in that area, if possible. This allows the
heater to maintain the isolated area more efficiently.
• If placing the heater a few feet above the floor, such in
rooms with large areas of bare concrete, make sure the
heater is secure and won’t fall. This will allow for more
efficient heating since concrete acts as a heat sink and will
tend to draw the heat in its direction. Optimally, concrete
floors should be covered to provide some insulation factor
from the concrete.
• For zone heating: set your central heating system to a lower
temperature. Place the heater in the area you spend the most
of your time. Now set the heater to your comfort level.
• When heating larger areas, place the heater in a central
location.
• If the heater is used in an extremely dirty area, the filter
must be cleaned more frequently to maintain heater
performance.

Maintenance
The only maintenance that is required for the heater is the
periodic cleaning of the heater’s electrostatic filter (located at
the back of the unit). This cleaning should be performed at least
once a month, or earlier as dust becomes visible on the filter, to
ensure efficient operation of the heater.
Cleaning the Electrostatic Filter
Clean the filter often to provide for maximum performance.
When necessary, wipe the cabinet clean with a soft damp cloth
and/or furniture polish.
Removing Filter
Replacing Filter
1. Power the heater off by pressing the Power Button, located
on the left side of the Control Panel. (Note: The sound of the
heater’s fans will continue until the heat has been completely
vented, thus protecting the unit and preventing waste by
cycling the remaining heat into the room. DO NOT unplug
the heater until the sound of the fan has stopped. Doing so
may cause damage to the unit.)
2. When the heater’s fans have stopped (the heater will become
completely silent) unplug the heater.
3. Release the Electrostatic Filter by pushing the filter up from
below.
4. Remove the Electrostatic Filter by pulling the filter down
and out.
5. Clean the filter by vacuuming the filter until clear.
6. Replace the filter by sliding the top upwards into the spring-
loaded slot on the back of the heater, then gently press the
bottom of the filter into place.

Maintenance
Storage
When the heater is not being used for an extended period of
time, observe the following steps to preserve the life and per-
formance of the unit:
• Unplug heater (Do not unplug heater while heater is running).
• Gently wrap the power cord into the cord storage compartment
in the back of your heater. This will help prevent undue wear
and tear on the cord.
• Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on or
in heater.
• Store heater in a dry, low dust environment.
NOTE: Before resuming use of heater, ensure the filter and
front grille are clean and free of all dust and dirt. Also check
the entire length of the power cord to ensure no damage has
compromised the integrity of the cord.
