TESTING
There are 2 methods to test the functionality of the automatic Thermostat:
1. Freeze Spray: Plug heater into wall outlet, ensure green LED is on. Direct and spray
(for up to 10 seconds) a general purpose freeze spray coolant for electrical components
at the Test Target Area (A) marked on the inner rim of the air intake. Depending on
the ambient temperature as well as the temperature of the heater this may take a few
attempts. There may be residue left by the freeze which can be wiped off with a clean
cloth. NOTE: The spray used must be certified electrical safe and non-flammable.

2. Freezer Test: Ensure the Pali is unplugged and cooled down. Place the heater in a
plastic bag and into a freezer. This will lower the temperature of the thermostat. After 2
hours, remove the Pali from the freezer, remove plastic bag and plug in. The heater will
automatically activate indicated by the LED turning red.
