Operating the Timers

Before operating the Timer(s), the clock time must be correct and a starting time and finishing
time for the Timer(s) must be programmed. See page 5. The two Timers operate in the same
way. This heater does not commence operation at the programmed starting time. It will
attempt to heat a room by the programmed starting time. See Pre-heat, for further
explanation.
To select the Timer(s) to commence heating.
Check the time shown on the Digital Display is correct.
Check the ON and OFF times, for both Timers if necessary.
Press the ON/OFF button to operate the heater. The ON indicator will glow green and the
heater will being to operate.
Select the desired temperature setting.
Press the Timer 1 and/or Timer 2 button(s). The timer indicator(s) will glow and the heater will
remain on standby until one hour prior to the time programmed into the selected Timer(s) is
reached. When this time is reached, the Timer indicator will flash and the heater will operate.
The ON indicator glows red when the heater commences operation. Actual start time will
depend on temperature selected and current room temperature. (see pre-heat for further
details).
Set and Forget Operation
Your heater can be operated to alternate between Timers automatically during cold weather
by selecting Timer 1 and Timer 2 together. Both Timer indicators will glow. The appliance will
remain on standby at intervals between the programmed finishing and starting times of each
Timer. While the heater is operating during programmed intervals the Timer indicator will
flash.
If there is a power failure, the system memory will retain the Timer programs, and the
clock will stop at the time the power goes off. The clock will start again when the power
comes back on, but the time will be slow by the duration of the power failure. To set the
clock to the correct time after the power has come back on, simply follow the
instructions on page 4.
Preheat
This function operates automatically in conjunction with either of the timers. When a timer is
selected, the heater may operate anywhere within an hour prior to the programmed starting
time of the timer.
The preheat function will attempt to preheat the room by the programmed ON time
This function is called pre-heat due to the way it operates. The room temperature is sensed
one hour before reaching the programmed time of either timer.
The temperature differential at the time of sensing the room governs how long before the
program ON time the microcomputer will operate the heater and ignite the burner.
