electricity is flowing to the heater, even if the heater
does not appear to be working. If you are uncomfort-
able working with electrical appliances, unable to fol
-
low these guidelines, or do not have the necessary
equipment, consult a qualified electrician.

rectly, proceed to the next step.

How to operate your heater
The room temperature is controlled by a line voltage thermostat located either on the wall, or on
the heater. Once installation is complete and power has been restored, follow the steps below for
your thermostat.
If you have a mechanical thermostat:
1. Turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise
until the heater turns off. The heater will automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counterclockwise. To increase the room
temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
If you have an electronic thermostat, follow the instructions in the programming and operating
guide included with your thermostat.
