EdenPURE & SunTwin Heaters FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

WHY DOES THE FAN TURN ON AND BLOW COLD AIR EVERY THREE MINUTES?

When the heater is set on the auto mode and the room temperature has reached the desired temperature or the room temperature is warmer than the preset temperature the unit will stop heating (both the fan motor and the bulbs will shut down).  The heater is designed with a feature that will detect the room temperature every three minutes.  This feature works by having the fan run for around 20 seconds every three minutes, the purpose is to draw the air from the room into the sensor to get a more accurate reading of the room temperature so that the heater is not relying on temperature right around the unit which typically remains warmer due to the heater still inside the unit.  The purpose of this feature to give the heater better control to maintain the temperature in the room more evenly.


HOW MANY KILOWATTS PER HOUR DOES THE HEATER USE?

The EdenPURE 1000 Gen 3 was tested by an independent lab in a home environment and determined to use 1.38 kilowatts per hour in Full Power Mode and 0.9 kilowatts per hour in Energy Savings Mode. 


THERMOSTAT NOTES

The power light will come on automatically when the unit is plugged in.  Once the power button is pressed the temperature level light bar will illuminate. 


WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR THE QUARTZ ELEMENTS?

Approximately 20,000 + hours. The Quartz Elements are replaceable by an authorized service dealer.


CAN THE HEATING ELEMENTS BE REPLACED?

Yes. If at any time during the three year warranty something would happen with the unit, we will replace/repair your unit. During or after the warranty period, please submit a service request (available through the troubleshooting guide for your related product). If your warranty is expired, we will submit your information to a qualified service center to assist you with your product.


INITIAL SETUP

  1. Unpackage heater. Cut open tape area, fold back flaps and gently turn entire box upside down. Lift box from styrofoam packing. Remove styrofoam, turn upright. We recommend keeping the packaging for off season storage and any transporting needs.

  2. Find a level and unobstructed location to place the unpackaged heater.

  3. Plug the power cord directly into an unused grounded110 volt 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle.   Insert 2 "AA" batteries into the battery compartment on the remote control.

  4. Push the "power" button located on the front of the heater or the remote control to turn the heater on.  Set the Mode Key to "Auto".  Adjust the "temp up" and "temp down" buttons until the desired temperature is reached.  Once the desired temperature is reached the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the room temperature.  When the GEN3 is set on the "Auto" mode and cycling off and on, it has been equiped with an Energy Savings feature.  The unit will run on full power until it gets to within 2 degrees of the desired temperature.  At this point it will augomatically go into an energy savings mode which shuts down 2 of the heater elements and lowers the fan speed.  Not only will this save energy, it also keeps the room temperature closer to the desired temperature.  If the room temperature should fall below 2 degrees of the desired temperature, the unit will reuturn to the full power mode until the desired temperature is reached.

  5. Switch the Mode Key to "High" in order to have the heater stay on high heater and not cycle on and off.

  6. To turn the heater off, press the "Power" button, the fan will continue to run until all of the heat has been expelled and will then turn off.
  7. The heater is equipped with a temperature limiting control contained inside the unit.  If the heater stops working, shut the power off and let the unit cool down.  Turn the power back on and resume use. 


WHAT IS ABS?

ABS is a heat resistant copolymer (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).


MY HEATER IS NOT HEATING THE ROOM PROPERLY.

Please review the troubleshooting guide for your related product.


MY HEATER WILL NOT TURN ON.

  • Make sure the power source is good. Plug in a lamp to see if it works correctly.

  • Make sure the front power switch/button is set to the “ON” position.

  • Unplug the power for 30 minutes. Plug the power back in and try operating the heater again. This will reset the internal sensors.

  • Unplug the power for 30 minutes. Plug the power back in and try operating the heater again. This will reset the internal sensors.

  • The heater is designed to be operated in temperatures less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The heater will not operate when the temperature is too high. Test the heater in a room that is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Bring the heater inside to warm up for at least one hour before operating if it has been stored in a freezing or near freezing environment.

  • Make sure the filter is clean.

  • Remember, it will take a few minutes for the heater to warm up.  The fan will start to blow after the heater has warmed up.

WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON THE HEATER?

The EdenPure and SunTwin Heaters have a manufacturer 30-day Money-Back Guarantee and a 3-year warranty.


WHY DOES THE FAN SPEED CHANGE WHEN OPERATING IN AUTO MODE?

When the unit is set on the "Auto" mode and cycling off and on, it has been equipped with and Energy Savings feature.  The unit will run on full power until it gets to within 2 degrees of the desired temperature.  At this point it will automatically go into an energy savings mode which shuts down 2 of the heating elements and lowers the fan speed.  Not only will this save energy, it also keeps the room temperature closer to the desired temperature.  If the room temperature should fall below 2 degrees of the desired temperature, the unit will return to the full power mode until the desired temperature is reached again.


CAN I USE THE HEATER TO HEAT MULTIPLE ROOMS AT ONE TIME?

Yes. Keep in mind that heating will vary based on how open your floor plan is and the sizes of the rooms involved. We have heard back from many customers stating that with the help of ceiling fans they have been able to heat multiple rooms simultaneously by placing the unit in a central room. Our suggestion is to just give it a try to see if it works for you.


IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISABLE THE REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE?

Yes.  Place a small piece of black electrical tape over the infrared sensor on the front panel of the heater. 


MY POWER CORD OR PLUG IS HOT.

This is usually when the cord is plugged into a loose fitting receptacle. It can also be caused by overloading the circuit with more appliances than recommended, using an unapproved extension cord, plug adapter or power strip.


MY HEATER WILL NOT TURN OFF.

  • Make sure the front power switch/button is set to the “OFF” position.

  • Remember, the fan will continue to run until the heat chambers have cooled down. After a few minutes the fan will shut off automatically.

  • Unplug the power for 30 minutes. Plug the power back in and try operating the heater again. This will reset the internal sensors.

CAN I USE A SURGE PROTECTOR OR POWER STRIP WITH MY HEATER?

NO. It is designed to plug directly into a grounded 110 volt 15 amp or higher circuit receptacle.


THE HEATER’S AIRFLOW SEEMS TO HAVE DIMINISHED.

Make sure the rear intake is not blocked and that the filter is clean. Follow the filter maintenance procedure as listed in your owners manual.


MY HOME IS NOT INSULATED VERY WELL, WILL THIS HEATER HELP ME?

Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the heat as efficiently.


DOES THE HEATER GENERATE IONS?

Yes, a small amount of negative ions.


ONCE I INITIALLY PLUG THE UNIT IN AND TURN IT ON, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HEAT MY ROOM?

Generally, it takes less than an hour. Please remember that with any type of heating process there are many variables: size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many door/windows, how much bare concrete (which acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, etc…


CAN I MOVE THE HEATER AROUND WHILE IT IS OPERATING?

It is not recommended to move any portable heater while it is operating. We recommend moving the heater once the fan has completely turned off.


WILL I BE ABLE TO USE THE HEATER IN A BASEMENT OR GARAGE?

Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the heat as efficiently. Bare concrete floors, which act as a heat sink with any type of heating will absorb some of the heat. Placing the heater a few feet above the floor will allow for more efficient heating.


CAN I USE THE HEATER IF I HAVE VAULTED CEILINGS OR CATHEDRAL CEILINGS?

Yes, but it will take a little longer to heat the room initially. Once the room has reached the desired temperature the heater will cycle on and off accordingly.


DO THE HEATERS HAVE FILTERS? HOW DO I CLEAN THE FILTER?

The EdenPure and SunTwin heaters come equipped with a washable lifetime filter which is easy to clean. The manufacturer recommends the filter be cleaned regularlly as needed. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Press the tab on the top of the filter to release the filter and pull it straight out.
  2. Run warm tap water over the filter, the opposite direction of air flow, until water runs clear. The filter might excrete some filtered residue, so be cautious not to drip on any stainable surfaces such as carpeting. You can also soak the filter in water mixed with a small amount of mild dish soap (don’t forget to rinse with water after soaking filter).
  3. Shake the filter over a sink until excess water is removed and allow it to drip dry completely before reinstalling. DO NOT force the filter to dry using any alternative methods.

  4. Reinstall the filter to the rear of the unit by positioning the filter back in place.

WHAT IS ZONE HEATING?

Zone heating is about focusing heat where people spend the most time. After all, there is no point to heating multiple rooms to 68+ degrees when they are not in use.


I DON’T HAVE A GROUNDED OUTLET; CAN I USE A CORD ADAPTER OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG?

NO. If you don’t have a grounded outlet, contact a licensed electrician in your area for advice. Removing or altering any part of the heater will void the warranty.


CAN I USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH MY HEATER?

Avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire, however if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be no. 14awg minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts. The extension cord shall be a 3 wire cord with a grounding type cord and plug connector.


CAN THE HEATER BE USED IN A BATHROOM?

It is not recommended due to the moisture that is in a bathroom.


CAN I USE THE HEATER ON A JOB/CONSTRUCTION SITE?

The heater was not designed to be used in a high dust construction environment. Using the heater for this purpose will void your warranty.


CAN I USE MORE THAN ONE HEATER AT A TIME?

Yes, but you should make sure they are not on the same circuit. Each heater and appliance should be on its own circuit.


CAN I USE THE HEATER AND ANOTHER APPLIANCE AT THE SAME TIME?

Yes, as long as they are not on the same circuit. Zone heaters are considered to be an appliance. You should not run more than one larger appliance on a single circuit breaker. Your freezer, refrigerator, microwave oven, washing machine, dryer, and other such appliances should not share a circuit breaker.


HEATER STORAGE

When the heater is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please do the following:

  1. Unplug heater.

  2. Wind up electrical cord so as to keep it off of the ground.

  3. Cover the heater to prevent dust from accumulating on filter or internally.

  4. Store the heater in a dry, low dust environment.


THE FAN OPERATES AFTER TURNING THE POWER OFF.

The blower fan will continue to run until the proprietary heat chambers have cooled down.  After a few mintues the fan will shut off automatically.
