 How to operate your heater
1. Once installation is complete and power has been restored, 
turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise. (The thermostat is on 
the right.)
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermo-
stat knob counterclockwise until the heater turns off. The heater 
will auto mat ically cycle around this preset temperature.*
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counterclock-
wise. To increase the room temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
4. For additional heat beyond thermostat setting, when room 
is occupied, turn timer to desired minutes. (The timer is on the 
left and represented by the symbol . The numbers indicate 
minutes.) Heater will remain on until time expires, then control of 
the heater will return to the thermostat and the previous set-point 
setting.
*Note: If thermostat knob is turned fully counterclockwise, it will 
be in the disabled (no heat) position.
 About the Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
The heater is protected by a temperature-limiting control. The 
manual reset temperature limit control is designed to open the 
heater circuit when excessive operating temperatures are detect-
ed. The problem must be assessed and the limit must be reset to 
resume operation.
For more effective and safer operation and to prolong the life of 
the heater, read the Owner’s Guide and follow the maintenance 
instructions. Failure to properly maintain the heater will void any 
warranty and may cause the heater to function improperly. War-
ranties are non transferable and apply to original consumer only.

Resetting the Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
If the manual reset limit control has opened the heater circuit due to excessive operating 
temperatures, the heater will not work until the manual reset limit button is pressed. 
After allowing the unit to cool for at least 10 minutes and resolving the problem causing 
the limit to trip (typically the heater is blocked or needs cleaning-see Maintenance 
Instructions); use a narrow object such as a ball-point pen to access the manual reset 
button through the upper-left center section of the heater grill. Press FIRMLY and be 
sure to listen and feel for a click, indicating it has been reset.
