Congratulations!
The Cabin Furnace that you have purchased is one of the safest,
most powerful, and most energy efficient portable space heating
products available anywhere.
The Cabin Furnace utilizes an exclusive honeycomb ceramic disc
heating system which maximizes heating performance thanks to its
ceramic Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) element design.
The Cabin Furnace will provide you with a powerful instant
source of heat and will also lower your total heating expenses by
allowing lower temperature settings in other portions of the boat,
home or office.

least 3 feet (O.9m) from the front of the Cabin Furnace and keep
them away from the sides and rear.

11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust
in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where
openings may become blocked.
12. A Cabin Furnace has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do
not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are
used or stored.
13. Use this Cabin Furnace only as described in this manual. Any
other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause
fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
14. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord

use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum
size and rated not less than 1875W.
15. “SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.”
16. Store Cabin Furnace and cord in a cool and dry location when

Operating Instructions
POWER LIGHT: Red light indicates that the unit is on.
HEAT: The fan and the disc heating elements are in use.
FAN: The fan circulates room air only; the heating elements are not
in use.
OFF: The Cabin Furnace is turned off.
AUTO: The unit operates automatically at the selected temperature.
MAN: The unit must be operated manually by the user.

6 WestMarineCeramicDiscCabinFurnace
HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT
If you want to circulate room air only, you must set the unit to FAN.
If you want to heat your room, you must set the unit to HEAT.
FAN: To circulate room air, set the AUTO/MAN switch to MAN
and use the Temperature dial to adjust the amount of airflow.
The AUTO mode is not used in the FAN setting.
HEAT: To heat your room, you can operate the unit either
automatically in the AUTO mode or manually in the MAN mode.
• In AUTO: Set the Temperature dial to a desired setting between
50°F and 80°F . The unit will automatically adjust the heat output
as the room gets warm or cold.
• In MAN: Set the Temperature dial to a desired setting between
50°F and 80°F . The unit will continue to run at that setting until
you turn the dial to a higher or lower setting. In this setting you
may change the heat output but the unit does not sense the
room temperature.
How the Automatic Temperature Control Works:
When in the AUTO mode, the Cabin Furnace’s automatic
temperature control monitors the changes in the room’s
temperature and adjusts the heat output without cycling on
and off. As your room gets warmer, the heat will gradually
cut down to a lower wattage level. As your room gets
colder, the heat will gradually increase to a higher wattage
level. This is a more effective and a more efficient means of
heating than conventional thermostats that create noisy
on/off cycling and hot/cold spells.

PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IN CABIN
For best results and the most effective heating, place the unit on
a flat surface approximately 3 feet (9m) away from any wall or
bulkhead. The unit can be placed on carpeting.
STORAGE: Coil cord and secure with plastic fastener on cord and
store Cabin Furnace in its original packaging, in a safe place where
connector and cord will not be damaged.
CLEANING The Cabin Furnace: To clean the unit, use a moistened,
clean, soft cloth to gently remove dirt from its surface. Do not use
cleaning liquids or other chemicals on the Cabin Furnace. Make sure
not to get the ceramic heating elements wet. Allow the unit to dry
completely before operating.
CLEANING THE DUST FILTER (refer to BACK VIEW illustration):
The Dust Filter collects dirt and dust from air circulating through the
unit. To clean the filter, first remove the Dust Filter Cover by pulling
the tabs which are located on each side. Rinse the filter with warm
water and allow it to dry completely before placing it back behind
the unit and reinstalling the filter cover.
WARNING
Do not use the unit in Chlorine Gas. Sulphur Dioxide, inert
or other GAS REDUCING ATMOSPHERES. Use in such
environments will result in obvious darkening/discoloration
of the heating elements which will eventually deteriorate and
arcing may result.
