Ceramic Technology
Ceramic heaters generate heat by passing electricity through heating wires embedded in ceramic plates. This type of heating technology provides fast, even heating.
Assembly
This heater requires a simple, no-tool assembly. Unpack the Main Body and Mounting Base (Fig. 1). Place the Mounting Base on a firm surface. Place the ThermaWaveTM 6 Heater Main Body on the Mounting Base so the Mounting Tabs are aligned with the Base Slots. Press the Main Body onto the Base until the Tabs snap securely into the Slots (Fig. 2).
Set-Up
Place the heater on a firm, level, open surface free from obstructions and at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from any wall or combustible material. DO NOT use on an unstable surface such as bedding or deep carpeting. For the best result, place the heater on the floor to create a warming room convection and allow the heater to run for 5-10 minutes to reach maximum heat output.
Moving the Heater
Turn off the heater. Allow it to cool for ten (10) minutes. Unplug the heater and move. This heater is equipped with a Cool Touch Handle for your convenience.
Operation
DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.
Turn the heater on by pressing the ON (U) button. The heater will default to the low setting. Adjust the Louver to give directional heat control. The Low (S) heat setting uses 900 watts of power, and the High (S) heat setting uses 1500 Watts of power.
The Fan Only (2) setting uses very low power and does not provide heat. You can select the proper setting to accommodate your comfort level with the Settings Button (v). The Low (SS) heat setting does not require as much electricity to operate, it is more energy efficient, and may be a better option if you are concerned about amperage draw on a circuit when the heater is on the High setting.ng
The Adjustable Thermostat (8) button is equipped with 4 pre-set Heat Levels. To set the thermostat to one of these levels, press the Thermostat (8) button until the desired temperature is illuminated. The heater will operate at the High setting until the room reaches the desired temperature. The heater fan will run for 60 seconds and turn off until the room temperature goes below the desired temperature. It will then turn back on.
Features
The ThermaWave™ 6 Heater is equipped with several devices and features for added protection:
- A 360° tip-over switch that disables the heater if it is tipped in any direction.
- Two high-temperature safety sensors prevent overheating. If activated, unplug the device and wait at least 20 minutes or allow the unit to cool completely. Make sure the operating conditions are safe, and then plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.
- Thermally insulated wiring for heat resistance and reinforced wire connections to help protect against loose connections.
- Built using a high-temperature plastic, and has a cool-to-touch housing and handle.
- The 8-hour timer auto-off is the default setting upon powering the unit on. To select another option, press the timer.
Cleaning
We recommend that the ThermaWave™ 6 Heater be cleaned at least once a month and before off-season storage.
- Turn the heater OFF (U) and unplug it. Allow it to cool.
- Use a dry cloth only to clean the external surfaces of the heater.
Troubleshooting
If your ThermaWave™ 6 Heater shuts off unexpectedly or fails to operate, one of your heater safety features may have been activated to prevent overheating.
- Be sure it is plugged in and that the electrical outlet is working.
- Check for any obstructions. If you find an obstruction, turn the heater OFF and unplug it.
- Allow the heater to cool completely, then remove the obstruction.
- Wait at least 20 minutes, then plug the heater back in and follow the OPERATION instructions.
- Make sure the heater is on a flat level surface Honeywell HCE870 SERIES Ceramic Heater so that the tip-over switch is not engaged.

Operation Cost
To estimate the cost to operate this heater, multiply the watts used by 0.001 to convert into kilowatts, then
Multiply the kilowatts used by your local kilowatt-hour electric rate for however long you run the heater. For
Example, if your electric rate is $0.1326** per kilowatt hour and you ran this heater in constant high mode
(1500 watts) For 4 hours, it would cost you 0.80 to run the heater (1500 watts x 4 hours x 0.001) x $0.1326 kwp = 0.80 cent)
