The following are general guidelines for using a Heat Storm heater at home.
Prepare The Device’s Location
The first step in using a space heater is to decide where it will be placed and to prepare the space.
If you intend to place the space heater on the floor, make certain that it will not stand on any surface considered a fire hazard. Install the space heater far enough away from carpeted floors. This applies to both matted floors and floor rugs.
Where Should A Heat Storm Heater Be Installed?
You should place the heater in a secure location where no fires or injuries will occur.
Space heaters are intended to be safe for use in the home, but they can still cause fires or heat-related injuries.
You must ensure that nothing in the vicinity of the device can catch fire. It should be kept away from thin wood, loose fabrics, and plastic blinds.
Heat Storm heaters employ technology to prevent heat from remaining inside the device. This keeps the hard plastic housing from getting too hot to touch.
Despite this, the housing can reach average operating temperatures of 77 to 82°F. The bottom area can also reach temperatures 6° above the previous room temperature.
To avoid accidents or injuries, keep the device out of high-traffic areas and out of reach of children and toddlers.
You can place the device near an outlet for aesthetic reasons. This will allow you to plug it in without having to deal with tangled cords on the wall or the floor.
Configure Product Parts
To use a Heat Storm heater, you must first properly assemble its components. The process for installing the parts will differ depending on whether you purchased an indoor or outdoor heater. To get the correct results, consult your unit’s manual.
Include all necessary extensions and accessories when installing your space heater. Some models come with pre-installed filters that should be changed on a regular basis. Other space heaters, particularly outdoor heaters, will have washable and reusable air filters.
Set Up The Heater
Installing the space heater correctly will ensure the device’s and the user’s safety. You can install mounting brackets on the wall if you choose to mount your Heat Storm heater.
The heater also comes with screws and a notch in the back to hang it on the wall. Keep in mind that not all Heat Storm heaters can be wall-mounted. The Heat Storm heaters that can be wall mounted are listed below.

If you want to install it on the floor, make sure there is nothing flammable on it. Also, keep the heater away from curtains.
If you prefer to place the space heater on the ground, it comes with tiny stands to keep it from tipping over.
Connect To An Electrical Power Source
You can connect the heater to a power source after preparing the space, assembling the unit, and installing it on the wall or the floor.
A Heat Storm heater has a special space behind the unit for storing excess cord. You can use a #14 or #12 AWG extension cord if you installed the unit far from a socket.
Any space heater should be used properly by removing the cord from the socket whenever it is not in use.
Preheat To Desired Temperature
Once connected to a power source, the heater should turn on and remain in standby mode. To adjust the temperature of the heater, use the power and up/down buttons. You can do this using the control panel or the remote control.
Wait for the device to transition from standby to temperature setting mode before adjusting the heat level. When the numbers on the display screen begin to blink, the device is in temperature setting mode.
You can adjust the heater to your desired temperature once it blinks.
