OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER LIGHT: Red light indicates that the unit is on.
HEAT: The fan and the disc heating elements are in use.
FAN: The fan circulates room air only; the heating elements are not in use.
OFF: The DiscFurnace is turned off.
AUTO: The unit operates automatically at the selected temperature.
MAN: The unit must be operated manually by the user.

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT: If you want to circulate room air only, you

HOW THE AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE WORKS:

must set the unit to FAN. If you want to heat your room, you must set the unit
to HEAT

FAN: To circulate room air, set the AUTO/MAN switch to MAN and use the
temperature dial to adjust the amount of airflow. The AUTO mode is not used
in the FAN setting.

HEAT: To heat your room, you can operate the unit either automatically in the
AUTO mode or manually in the MAN mode.

In AUTO: Set the Temperature dial to desired setting between 50 °F and 80 °F.
The unit will automatically adjust the heat output as the room gets warm or
cold.

In MAN: Set the dial to a desired setting between 50 °F and 80 °F. The unit will
continue to run at that setting until you turn the dial to a higher or lower setting.
In this setting you may change the heat output but the unit does not sense the
room temperature.

When in the AUTO mode, the DiscFurnace’s automatic
temperature control monitors the changes in the room’s
temperature and adjusts the heat output without cycling on and
off. As your room gets warmer, the heat will gradually cut down
to a lower wattage level. As your room gets colder, the heat weill
gradually increase to a higher wattage level. This is a more
effective and a more efficient means of heating than conventional
thermostats that create noisy on/off cycling and hot/cold spells

PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IN THE ROOM: For best results and the most
effective heating, place the unit on the floor approximately 3 feet away from any
wall. The unit can be placed on carpeting.

moistened clean, soft cloth to gently remove dirt from its surface. Do not use
cleaning liquids or other chemicals on the heater. Make sure not to get the
ceramic heating elements wet. Allow the unit to dry completely.

CLEANING THE DUST FILTER: (refer to BACK VIEW illustration): The dust
filter collects dirt and dust from air circulating through the unit. To clean the
filter, unplug the heater, then remove the dust filter cover by pulling the tabs
which are located on each side. Rinse the filter with warm water and allow it to
dry completely before placing it back behind the unit and reinstalling the filter
cover.

DO NOT use the unit in Chlorine gas, Sulphur Dioxide, inert or other
GAS REDUCING ATMOSPHERES. Use in such environments will
result in obvious darkening/discoloration of the heating elements
which will eventually deteriorate and arching may result.
