1. GENERAL INFORMATION Steffes ETS room heating units utilize off-peak electricity available during those times of the day or night when the power company can supply you with electricity more economically. By using this off-peak electricity for heating, the power company may offer you a special incentive such as a reduced electric rate, an off-peak heating rate, a time-of-use (TOU) rate, or monthly credits on your heating bill. -

If no charge is required, the charge control knob should be set to OFF position. If automatic charge control is desired, order Steffes automatic charge controller, item #1301000 if utility switch closes to charge. Order item #1301001 if utility switch opens to charge. Consult with your electric utility as to which method they use. -

The EXT series can be configured in many ways. Due to the wide variety of setup methods and options, it may be necessary to consult with your sales representative for the operation instructions of your heating system. Several control devices can be used for core charging. Different combinations of these devices will provide for optimal unit function based upon utility needs, home characteristics, and installation requirements. -
