NOTE: The major electrical components of this heater are protected
by a circuit breaker mounted to the power switch. If your heater fails
to start, check this first and replace as necessary. You should also
check your power source to insure that proper voltage and
frequency are being supplied to the heater.
TO STOP HEATER
Never unplug heater while running.
■
Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion
chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is
complete.
1. Turn "THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB" to lowest temperature
setting. This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will
continue to run during the cooling cycle. This allows the fan to
cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle (approx.
1 min.) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not turn switch to
"OFF" or unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished.
2. Turn switch to "OFF" and unplug power cord.
3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature
lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air
temperature around heater matches thermostat setting.

TO RESTART HEATER

The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber.
■ DO NOT restart heater until cooling cycle is finished?
1. Wait until cooling cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under TO START HEATER.
