E. HEATER THERMOSTAT CONTROL
To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements, turn the thermostat
control clockwise all the way to turn in the heater. When the room reaches the
desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until you hear a
click. Leave in this position to maintain the room temperature at its setting. For
additional heat, turn clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will turn
on. To turn the heater off, rotate the knob fully counter clockwise.
RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOFF
This unit is equipped with a thermostat which controls the temperature of the room.
It does this by turning the heater on and off. The heater is protected with a safety
device to prevent overheating. Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will
turn the heater off and it will not come back on without being reset. It can be reset
by switching the ON/OFF SWITCH to OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching
the unit back on.
CAUTION
If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call your local
dealer.
