5. Operating Instructions

The heater features an LCD control panel and a remote control for convenient operation.

5.1 Initial Start-up and Priming

Before the first use, or if the fuel tank has run dry, the fuel system may need priming to ensure proper fuel delivery to the burner. Refer to the specific instructions on your LCD panel for priming. Typically, this involves holding a specific button combination to activate the fuel pump until fuel reaches the burner.

5.2 Power On/Off

• To Power On: Press the power button on the LCD panel or the remote control. The heater will initiate a start-up sequence.
• To Power Off: Press the power button again. The heater will enter a cool-down cycle before completely shutting down. Do not disconnect power during the cool-down cycle.

5.3 Temperature Control

The temperature can be adjusted using the LCD panel or remote control, typically ranging from 46°F to 96.8°F (8°C to 36°C). Use the up/down arrows to set your desired temperature. The heater will automatically adjust its output to maintain the set temperature.
