Thermostat Control
Your heater is equipped with a digital thermostat that allows you to set your heater to a precise comfort level (65°F-85°F) by pressing either Up () or Down () button to activate the digital thermostat mode. Press the Up/Down buttons on the control panel or remote control to select your desired temperature level. The higher temperature is selected, the more temperature indicator lights will illuminate. When you continuously press the Up button, all temperature lights will illuminate to indicate the maximum temperature (85°F) is selected. When the preset temperature is reached, the heater will cool down by blowing cool air for 60 seconds, the power light will flash during the cool down period, and then the heater will shut off. When the room temperature drops below the preset temperature, the heater will automatically turn on again to maintain the preset temperature level.
NOTE: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to change the thermostat setting. The digital thermostat has memory; it will remember the last temperature setting before the heater is turned off. However, if the heater is unplugged, the digital thermostat will no longer remember the previous temperature setting. You will need to reset the digital thermostat if the heater is unplugged.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the heater before cleaning and allow the heater to cool down.

  1. Clean the unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
  2. NEVER use abrasive or flammable solvents to clean the unit.
  3. After cleaning, be sure to completely dry the unit with a cloth or towel.
    TIP: Over time, dust may accumulate on the front grills. This can be removed by wiping the unit with a damp cloth.

AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF

This heater is equipped with a patented, technologicallyadvanced safety system that requires the user to reset the heater if there is a potential overheat situation.
