General Operation
WARNING: This electric
firebox must be properly
installed before it is used.
This rebox operates with
Comfort$averTM technology,
which automatically adjusts the
fan speed and heater wattage to
safely and precisely match the
requirements of the room based on
the thermostat setting. The heater
operates such that once the room
reaches the set point, the fan and
heater will continuously run at a low
level, to maintain the desired room
temperature. If the temperature in
the room rises signicantly, (e.g.,
sun coming through a window or a
central furnace turns on) the heater
will turn off and periodically turn
back on to circulate the air around
the unit, until the room temperature
drops and requires the heater to be
constantly on again.
!NOTE: The unit is designed so
that the fan will run continuously
while the heater is on.
!NOTE: The unit retains heat
after shutdown. When the
heat is turned OFF, there is a
2-minute, built in cool down
period before the fan shuts off.
