A. 3-Position Switch
The switch has two ON positions marked with “-“ and “=”.
The “-“ position is for manual operation. In this position the
built-in remote control is bypassed. The “=” position is for
operating the unit with the provided remote control. When
in “=” position the unit is operated with the ON and OFF
buttons of the remote control.
When the switch is in the center position the unit is off.
B. Heater On/Off Switch
The Heater On/Off Switch supplies power to the heater fan
and the heater element.
C. Heater Thermostat Control
To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements,
turn the thermostat control clockwise all the way to turn on
the heater. When the room reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until you
hear a click. Leave in this position to maintain the room
temperature at this setting. For additional heat, turn clockwise until you hear the click again and the heater will turn
on. To turn the heater off, switch the Heater On/Off switch
to the OFF position.
!
NOTE: When the heater is switched ON, the heater fan
will operate. The heater element may or may not be on,
depending on the thermostat control setting (See “Heater
Thermostat Control”)
Resetting the Temperature Cutoff Switch
Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn
the heater off and it will not come back on without being
reset. It can be reset by switching the 3-Position Switch to
OFF and waiting 5 minutes before switching the unit back
on.
Remote Control
The stove is supplied with a radio frequency remote control.
This remote control has a range of approximately 50 feet
(15.25 m), it does not have to be pointed at the stove and
can pass through most obstacles (including walls). It is
supplied with one of hundreds of independent frequencies
to prevent interference with other units.
!
NOTE: Before attempting any operation with the
remote, pull the plastic insulator strip out from between
the remote casing and battery cover (Figure 2).
Remote Operation
