Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Retain packaging for off-season storage.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Turn the Power/Mode Control Knob clockwise to select the desired operating mode:
   • FAN ONLY: Activates the fan without heat.
   • LOW HEAT: Provides low heat output.
   • HIGH HEAT: Provides maximum heat output.
2. Set Thermostat: Turn the Thermostat Control Knob to the desired temperature setting.
   • For continuous heat, turn the knob to its maximum setting.
   • To use the thermostat, turn the knob to the maximum setting until the room reaches a comfortable temperature. Then, slowly turn the knob counter-clockwise until the heater turns off. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain this temperature.
