* * NOTE: CALIBRATION IS EXCLUDED FROM FWE WARRANTY. Thermostats on all units are calibrated at the factory
* *
prior to shipping. Due to conditions in transit, beyond our control, occasionally units will need to be re-calibrated prior
* *
to use. This is a simple procedure for which instructions are given above. (1B, 2E)
* Heating element will either function or not function. Only a slight warmth indicates a problem with the thermostat, not the element.
