OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the heater into standard 120v household outlet.

the longer the unit will stay on as it attempts to reach a higher ambient room
temperature. As you rotate closer to “MIN”, there is a better chance of the
heater shutting o as the desired ambient room temperature is also being
lowered. The power on indicator illuminates when the thermostat turns on and
stops illuminating when the thermostat turns o.
