  Operating Information 
Turning the heater ON 
When you press the ON/OFF button, the LED display 
will illuminate, the combustion fan will begin to run,
and the spark will ignite the main burner.  
This heater has an automatic ignition system.  When 
the main burner has lit, the combustion lamp will glow 
red, and the spark will stop. 
If ignition does not occur after 15 seconds, the 
appliance will automatically turn off and a fault code 
will be displayed on the control panel.  This may 
occur when using the appliance for the first time or if it 
has not been used for a while.  Try operating the 
appliance again. 
There may be a smell of burning dust or oil the first 
time the heater is lit or when the heater has been out 
of operation for a long time. 
The appliance may make noises after ignition or when 
it is turned off.  This is normal and is due to the 
thermal expansion or contraction of its components. 
 
Adjusting the Temperature 
The temperature setting and the room temperature 
are indicated by the L.E.D. display on the control 
panel.  When the appliance is turned on the 
temperature setting will be displayed for 10 seconds.  
The display will then show the room temperature.  
The default temperature setting is 72
°F. 
To change the temperature setting press one of the 
temperature control buttons once.  The “Set Temp”  
should light up and the display will show the current 
temperature setting.  Continue to press the control 
buttons until the desired temperature setting is 
reached.  After 10 seconds the display will return to 
showing the room temperature. 
The thermostat automatically modulates the burner 
and the fan to maintain the temperature setting. 
The temperature settings available are: 
     LO - burner is on minimum combustion 
     60
°F - 80°F in two degree increments 
     HI - burner is on maximum combustion 
Turning the heater OFF 
Press the ON/OFF button.  Do not 
turn off by unplugging at the power 
outlet.    
The fan will continue to run for a short time to prevent 
the internal components from overheating. 
Economy Mode 
Pressing the Economy button will cause the 
appliance to go into Economy Mode and the 
green lamp will glow.  This results in the 
temperature setting being reduced by 2
°F, 
30 minutes after the room temperature has 
reached the temperature setting.  After 
another 30 minutes the temperature setting 
is reduced another 2
°F.  This could result in 
the temperature setting being reduced by a 
maximum of 4
°F.  The intent of this mode is to save 
energy.
