FIG. 1 is a front view of a heater fan according to the invention;

FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the heater fan of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a side view of the heater fan of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view of the heater fan of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 5 is a rear view of the heater fan of FIG. 1.

The claim below is directed to the heater fan shown in FIGS. 1-5, but certain elements shown in broken lines in the figures form no part of the claimed design. Specifically, the power cord, the attached remote shown on the right in FIG. 1, the unit controls and display at the top front of the unit, the “Honeywell” name plate shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the perforation pattern of the front grille, and the spiral-like pattern of the rear grille form no part of the claimed design.
