OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your heater is equipped with a technologically
advanced electronic thermostat. You can set the
heater to run continuously in manual mode or
set the thermostat to your desired temperature
setting. The thermostat will automatically turn
the heater or depending on the preset

setting. When the ambient temperature rises
above the set temperature, the heater will stop.

(See Figure 2)
NOTE: It is normal for the heater to cycle
and as it maintains the preset temperature.
To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to
raise the thermostat setting. When the preset
temperature is made, the fan will run for 30
seconds without heat. This cool down process
ensures an accurate and consistent temperature
reading.
NOTE: The thermostat has memory. The
thermostat will remember the previous
temperature setting after the unit has been
turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged, the
thermostat will be reset and will no longer
remember the previous setting.
PIVOTING HEATER
For improved heat circulation, your heater
comes with a manual pivot. The top half of your
heater pivots to the left and right for better heat
distribution. The bottom half of the heater is
stationary and will not turn. (See Figure 1)
Do not swivel the unit beyond the point of
resistance.

advanced safety system that requires the user to
reset the heater if there is a potential overheat

is reached, (e.g. if the heater was accidentally
covered) the system will automatically switch the
heater off. Operation can only be resumed if the
user resets the heater as detailed below.
