to control the room temperature and prevent discomfort from
overheating.
FEATURES OF AVENGER, BLAZE AND DYNAMO HEATER MODELS
REMOTE CONTROL For the convenience of operating the hea ter between STANDBY or
ON, as well as adjusting the temperature up or down while at a short
distance from the heater.
PRE-HEAT This function will automatically operate the appliance before the
programmed start time of the Timer, in order to heat a room to the
pre-set temperature by the programmed start time.
MEMORY The micro-computer records selected preset temperatures, the times
programmed into Timers as well as operating the Economy/Auto-Off
and Pre-heat modes, to maintain comfort levels.
DUAL TIMERS The Dual Timers allows you to program the appliance to come on for
two separate periods each day, one period in the morning and one
period in the evening. The built in Pre-heat Mode brings the room
temperature to the temperature you have selected, by the time
programmed into the Timer.
The Dual Timer feature means that you can "Set and Forget" your
heater. It will turn itself ON or to STANDBY at the times you have
programmed until you cancel the Timer program.
FEATURES OF THE ENDURO HEATER MODEL
MEMORY The micro-computer records selected pre set temp eratures, t he time
programmed into the On Timer as well as operating the Economy
modes, to maintain comfort levels.
DELAY ON TIMER The On Timer allows you to program the heater to come on after a

for automatic heating in the morning.
The appliance begins heating a room once it has reached the end of
the delay period selected.
The heater will automatically come on and then remain on until you
manually turn it off.
OFF TIMER This feature allows you to program the heater to op erate for a period
of one hour before it automatically turns off.

• The current room temperature will be displayed , /
• The On/Combustion indicator will illuminate Green (steady). Ignition will take 5 ~ 10 seconds.
12
15
17 31 33
The ON/Combustion indicator will change to Red (steady) after proper ignition has been
achieved to signify the correct burner operation.
When using the appliance for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ig nition may
not occur the first time it is operated as there may be air within the pipes. If ignition

contraction of the heater components and is normal.
The heater will not immediately ignite if the ON/OFF button is pressed straight after
extinction. After approximately 20 seconds has passed, the heater will automatically
go into ignition mode.
41
TO ADJUST SET TEMPERATURE
The set temperature may be raised or lowered by use o f the Up a nd Down buttons located on the
control panel. For models that are equipped with a remote control the Up and Do wn buttons may
13
41
also be used.
The following "SET" temperatures can be selected.
• 'L' for continuous combustion on lowest burner setting, without thermostatic control.
• Thermostatic control between 16º C to 26º C in 1º C steps
• 'H' for continuous combustion on highest burner setting, without thermostatic control.
The room temperature will display temperatures between 1º C to 30º C.
Once the temperature is set it will be stored in the microcomputers memory, if the temperature is not
adjusted further it will be available as the initial setting when the appliance is next used.
Rooms may not arrive at the "SET" temperature due to the size and construction of
the room, location of the appliance or external temperatures.
NOTE
If the appliance does not ignite then the pre-set temperature may already be higher
than the actual room temperature.

TIMER OPERATION - AVENGER, BLAZE & DYNAMO

PREHEAT
This function operates automatically in
conjunction with the Timers. When a Timer is
selected, the heater may operate anywhere
within an hour prior to the programmed
starting time of a Timer.
This function is called Pre-heat since it
ensures the room reaches the desired
temperature by the On Time programmed
into the Timer(s). The room temperature is
sensed one hour before the pro gra mme d On
Time.
The temperature differential at the time of sensing th e room temperature combined with the data from
previous operation governs exactly how long before the programmed On time the micro-computer will
operate the heater and ignite the burner.
USING THE OVERRIDE FUNCTION
This function is used to manually override the current operation of the heater. For example: if the
heater is between the finishing and starting times of a timer program and the Override button is
selected, then the heater will begin to operate and heat the room.

indicator will go out and the and Combustion indicator will be illuminated green to confirm that
26 12
timer operation has been r estored and that the heater is awaiting a timer operation to begin. If the
Override button is not pressed the heater will remain on until the next programmed Off time setting

is reached.
If the ON/OFF button or the OFF button on the remote control are pressed the
40
heater will be turned off and the timer programs will not operate.
