HOW TO OPERATE THE HEATER
TO TURN THE HEATER ON
Before you begin, ensure that the Gas and Power have been connected correctly to the appliance.
To turn the appliance on press the ON/OFF button located on the control panel. For models that
are equipped with a remote control the ON button may also be used.
When pressed the appliance will begin to operate in the following factory preset manner:
• The default set temperature will be 22° C .
• The current room temperature will be displayed , /
• The ON/Combustion indicator will illuminate Green (steady). Ignition will take 5 ~ 10 seconds.
The ON/Combustion indicator will change to Red (steady) after proper ignition has been
achieved to signify the correct burner operation.
TO ADJUST SET TEMPERATURE
The "SET" temperature may be raised or lowered by use of the Up and Down buttons located on
the control panel. For models that are equipped with a remote control the Up and Down buttons
may also be used.
The following "SET" temperatures can be selected.
• 'L' for continuous combustion on lowest burner setting.
• Adjustable temperature setting between 16º C to 26º C in 1º C steps. Gas consumption will adjust
automatically to help maintain the “SET” temperature.
• 'H' for continuous combustion on highest burner setting.
Once the temperature is set it will be stored in the microcomputers memory, if the temperature is not
adjusted further it will be available as the initial setting when the appliance is next used.
* Remote Control not available with this model.
When using the appliance for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ignition may
not occur the first time it is operated as there may be air within the pipes. If ignition
does not occur after approximately 30-seconds the unit will cease operation
automatically. If this occurs press the ON/OFF button twice to restart. For models
that are equipped with a remote control the press the STANDBY button and then
press the ON button to restart.
The unit may make noises after ignition/extinction. This is due to expansion and
contraction of the heater components and is normal.
The heater will not immediately ignite if the ON/OFF button is pressed straight after
extinction. After approximately 20 seconds has passed, the heater will automatically
go into ignition mode.
Rooms may not arrive at the "SET" temperature due to the size and construction of
the room, location of the appliance or external temperatures.
If the appliance burner does not ignite then the room temperature may be higher than
the “SET” temperature.

TIMER OPERATION - AVENGER & DYNAMO
PREHEAT
This function operates automatically in
conjunction with the Timers. When a Timer is
selected, the heater may operate anywhere
within an hour prior to the programmed
starting time of a Timer.
This function is called Pre-heat since it
ensures the room reaches the desired
temperature by the On Time programmed
into the Timer(s). The room temperature is
sensed one hour before the programmed On
Time.
The temperature differential at the time of sensing the room temperature combined with the data from
previous operation governs exactly how long before the programmed On time the micro-computer will
operate the heater and ignite the burner.

This function is used to manually override the current operation of the heater. For example: if the
heater is between the finishing and starting times of a timer program and the Override button is

To cancel override and to return to Timer operation press the Override button again. The Override
indicator will go out and the and Combustion indicator will be illuminated green to confirm that
timer operation has been restored and that the heater is awaiting a timer operation to begin. If the
Override button is not pressed the heater will remain on until the next programmed Off time setting
is reached.
If the ON/OFF button or the STANDBY button on the remote control are pressed
the heater will be turned off and the timer programs will not operate.
