temperature.
5. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob
counter clockwise . To increase the room
temperature, turn the knob clockwise .
NOTE:
The Hot One discharges air with a temperature rise
of 40˚F. In extremely cold circumstances, air emitted
from the heater will not feel hot. This is within
normal operational limits. As the room temperature
rises, the air emitted from the heater will also
increase.
IMPORTANT!
The fan operation will be delayed approximately
20 seconds on startup. This allows the element
to heat before blowing air, thereby eliminating
.
cold startups. Fan operation will continue for
approximately 90 seconds after elements shut off
to disperse residual heat.
