Question: Can our heaters be used in bathrooms?
Answer: No, this heater is not designed for use in a bathroom or other humid areas, such as a laundry room or
an open porch. Not only is there a risk of electrocution in moist environments, but damp locations, especially
bathrooms, create a situation where moisture can collect on the heating element. Over time this moisture can
cause serious damage to the element and the heater. Using this heater in the bathroom will void the warranty.
Only our Honeywell VersaHeat Heater (HHF260) is designed for bathroom use.
Question: How can you clean heaters?
Answer: Our heaters are not meant to be dissembled for cleaning. Be sure your heater is in the OFF position.
Unplug the heater before cleaning, and wait for it to cool. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean only the external
surfaces.
Question: How much do heaters cost to operate?
Answer: The cost of running your heater depends on the price your electric company currently charges you per
kilowatt hour. The average cost per kilowatt hour in the U.S. is approximately 13 Cents. The formula for
determining the cost of operation is as follows: (Wattage x .001) x Cost per Kilowatt Hour = Cost to operate
Question: How come the thermostat on my heater is reading different than the thermostat on my wall?
Answer: The wall unit is gauged to read the whole room, while the heater is gauged to read the air that passes
through the unit. As you run the unit for a longer time, and it heats up the room, you will notice that this
differential will become very minimal.
