6.2 ECO Function

The heater features an ECO function that automatically adjusts its operating mode to maintain the set temperature and conserve energy. It uses a built-in precise temperature sensor:

• If the current temperature is within 5° below the set temperature, the heater will switch to low power (7500W).
• If the current temperature is 1° above the set temperature, the heater will turn off. The fan will continue to run for 60 seconds to dissipate residual heat before shutting down.
• The heater will fire at high power (10000W) only when the ambient temperature is significantly below the set temperature.
