PREPARATION

Place the heater on a firm, level surface and plug into a grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power outlet and turn on
the power switch on the rear of the unit . Only operate heater in upright position .
Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control before using (batteries not included) . *(Not all products
will include a remote control .)
Please note that infrared heaters do not heat like a traditional space heater . You should not expect infrared
heaters to blow hot air like a traditional space heater . Infrared heaters heat objects not air . Infrared
heaters are intended to supplement an already heated, insulated room . Square footage specifications
assume a single enclosed room not an entire home . Infrared heaters do not heat through walls, floors, and
are not intended to replace a main heat source . Infrared heat can take at least 24 hours to warm a room
but operate much more efficiently to maintain the desired temperature . Infrared heaters will not work
well in uninsulated unheated spaces like screened in porches, RV's, garages, unheated basements, etc .

The Life Smart HT1216 heater may turn off immediately when you try to turn it on due to overheating or insufficient power. If the heater displays an error code “E1,” it has overheated. To fix this, unplug the heater, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in. If the issue persists, check if there is sufficient power to the unit.
