Need help?Do you have a question about the Life Smart LS-IF1500-DOFP and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is the owner's installation and operating manual for the LifeSmart Infrared Fireplace Heater, model LS-IF1500-DOFP.
This infrared fireplace heater is designed to efficiently heat up to 1500 square feet, serving as a supplement to a home's main furnace rather than a replacement. It is not an instant heater and may take up to 24 hours for a room to reach the desired temperature. The heater has been tested and listed for installation in residential and mobile homes by UL.
Users must read and understand all instructions before using the heater. Basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury. The heater is hot when in use, so bare skin should not touch hot surfaces. Combustible materials like furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains must be kept at least 3 feet away from the front, sides, and rear of the heater. Extreme caution is necessary when the heater is used by or near children or invalids, or when left operating unattended. The heater should always be unplugged when not in use. Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or if it malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner; it should be returned to an authorized service facility for examination or repair. The heater is not for outdoor use or in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar indoor locations where it could fall into water. The cord should not be run under carpeting or covered with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings, and should be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping. To disconnect, turn controls to off, then remove the plug from the outlet. The heater must be connected only to properly grounded outlets. Foreign objects should not be inserted into any ventilation or exhaust opening to prevent electric shock, fire, or damage. Air intakes or exhaust should not be blocked to prevent fire, especially on soft surfaces like a bed. The heater contains hot and arcing or sparking parts and should not be used in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored. The heater should only be used as described in this manual; any other use may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Heaters should always be plugged directly into a wall outlet/receptacle and never used with an extension cord or re-locatable power tap (outlet/power strip). This heater has a self-protection function; if it does not operate normally, check the cord and heater placement, then unplug it from the outlet and plug it back in to reset.
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a three-blade plug for proper grounding. Do not attempt to modify the plug or use adaptors to defeat the grounding feature. Plug only into a receptacle that accepts a three-blade plug.
To achieve maximum efficiency, locate the heater close to an inside wall of the room, facing the exhaust vents toward cooler outside walls to distribute heat evenly. Ensure windows and doors are not allowing high airflow, which would minimize effectiveness. Maintain a minimum of 40% relative humidity in the heated environment for best results. The heater should be used in rooms insulated according to code, as non-insulated rooms will cause greater heat loss. Keep the area around the heater clear of clutter and obstacles for free airflow. Position the heater out of main traffic thoroughfares.
Plug the power cord into a 120V, 15amp or 20amp three-bladed receptacle.
WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or damage.
LifeSmart warrants this heater against defects in materials and workmanship on functional parts for a period of 3 years from the original date of purchase. The sales receipt is proof of purchase and should be kept in a safe place. This limited warranty applies to products manufactured or distributed by the LifeSmart brand name, delivered in the continental United States, and extends to the original purchaser or gift recipient. It becomes valid at the time of purchase and terminates either by the specified time frame or owner transfer (unless authorized by LifeSmart). Any extended warranties sold through a retailer or third party are not directly correlated with this limited warranty and may be redirected to said retailer or third party for coverage.
This warranty extends through the manufacturer and covers functional parts only. Cosmetics are not covered unless unequivocally determined to be a manufacturer/workmanship defect. Surface cracks are not considered defects as they are normal characteristics of all wood. Shipping damage should be addressed with the shipping company, retailer, or place of purchase prior to claiming with LifeSmart, unless LifeSmart was the direct shipper.
LifeSmart's sole obligation under this warranty is limited to furnishing replacement parts for units deemed repairable by the LifeSmart warranty department. The purchaser may also ship the product to LifeSmart for repair, being responsible for prepaying shipping charges (both ways), export taxes, custom duties, and other transportation charges, and for insuring any parts shipped or returned. For products deemed un-repairable or discontinued, LifeSmart reserves the right to issue a refurbished product or a similar product in size and functionality as a replacement, if available. All exchanged parts and products replaced under this warranty become the property of LifeSmart. LifeSmart reserves the right to change manufacturers of replacement parts or products to cover any existing warranty. Defective parts may be requested to be returned to LifeSmart or its representatives to validate a claim. Non-warranty replacement parts are warranted for 30 days from receipt by the purchaser. The purchaser must present proof of purchase documents (including date of purchase) if requested. Any evidence of alteration, erasing, or forgery of proof of purchase documents will void this limited warranty. Products with defaced or removed serial numbers are not eligible for warranty coverage.
This warranty does not apply if the unit has been subject to negligence, fabrication, misuse, abuse, or repairs (unless authorized verbally or in writing by an Authorized LifeSmart Representative) alteration by non-LifeSmart authorized personnel, inappropriate installations, or any case beyond LifeSmart's control. Examples of warranty invalidation include, but are not limited to:
LifeSmart shall not be liable for any loss due to use (or misuse) of the heater or other LifeSmart products or other incidental or consequential costs, expense, or damages without irrefutable foundations. Under no circumstances shall LifeSmart or any of its representatives be held liable for injury to any person or damage to any property, however arising. Any implied warranty shall have a duration equal to the applicable warranty stated above. Specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation.
This limited warranty gives the original purchaser specific legal rights. Other rights may vary from state to state.
