• In the AUTO mode, the thermostat in the hand-held re-
mote unit controls the room temperature. To increase the
room temperature, press the top arrow of the TEMP but-
ton. To lower the room temperature, press the bottom
arrow of the TEMP button. At higher settings the heater
will run longer.
IMPORTANT:
This remote control has been specially en-
gineered to take an air temperature sample every 5.5 min-
utes in the auto mode. It will not respond immediately to
the temperature setting being turned up or down.
IMPORTANT:
The hand-held remote control unit must
be near the heater. Do not keep the hand-held remote
control unit too close to the heater. The thermostat on
the hand-held remote control unit will heat up too quickly
and turn the heater off.
