This item is not stocked. During the winter season, allow 5 to 7 days for delivery; off-season, contact us for the lead time.

Manufacturer code (Matrix): EB184. This space heater with infrared quartz elements gives off instant, sun-like radiant heat: instead of warming the air first, it directly warms the people and objects placed in front of it. Its two settings, 750 W and 1500 W, and its adjustable thermostat then maintain the chosen temperature economically. The flame-resistant plastic housing stays cool to the touch, and the 23 in tall upright unit takes up little floor space.

Matrix EB184 heater technical specifications

Safe use of the infrared heater

Set the heater on a flat, stable surface, then plug it into a North American grounded wall outlet, with no other appliance running on the same circuit; the unit draws 12.5 A and must never be plugged into an extension cord or power strip. Keep furniture, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front and top, and keep the rear grille clear. The manual restricts it to indoor household use, as a supplementary heat source: no bathrooms, laundry areas, outdoor use or locations where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are stored. Do not leave it running unattended for long periods and unplug it when not in use.

Heater care and storage

Unplug the unit and let it cool completely. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth, with a mild detergent if needed, then dry it with a soft cloth; do not let any liquid enter the unit and do not use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive powder or a rough brush. Wait until it is completely dry before using it again. Off-season, store it in its original packaging, in a cool, dry place. A slight odour is normal during first use.
