Operation
Installation of the Heat strip has created
a new “HEAT” mode with your controller.
The following will describe how to
operate. Operation of “FAN”, “COOL”
mode and “OFF” does not change,
refer to your air conditioner manual for
operation.
When to use HEAT mode?
During conditions where the ambient
temperature has dropped between 50-
70 °F, the “HEAT” mode can be utilized to
bring the temperature up to a comfort-
able level.
The Electric Heater works best in smaller
spaces, like bedrooms or isolated rooms.
NOTE: HEAT mode should not be con-
sidered a replacement to your standard
furnace, or expected to heat the entire
coach. It may need to be used in con-
junction with the furnace under extreme
conditions.
How to use it?
To activate, rotate your mode function
selector to the HEAT position.

How does it work?
When you want to warm the coach, turn on the HEAT mode. Once the temperature
has reached a desired condition, Manually turn the mode function selector to another
mode or “OFF” position.
Manually cycle “ON/OFF” to maintain a temperature as desired.
NOTE: The temperature selector function is not usable with HEAT mode, therefore
the control needs to be cycled manually to maintain temperature. Avoid excessively
long usage periods to prevent overheating. Consider using the furnace to bring the
temperature up first, then maintain with the HEAT mode.
