1. The heater must be properly

How to operate your heater 
The room temperature is controlled by a thermostat located either on the wall, or on the heater. 
Once installation is complete and power is on, follow the steps below for your thermostat. 
If you have a wall or built-in thermostat:
 1. Turn the thermostat knob all the way to the right.
 2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the knob to the left, just until it clicks and    
 the heater turns off. The heater will automatically keep the room temperature around this setting.
 3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob to the left. To increase the room 
 temperature, turn the knob to the right. 
If you have an electronic wall thermostat, follow the instructions in the programming and operating 
guide included with your thermostat. 
PLEASE NOTE: On initial start-up, the heater may cause an odor due to the manufacturing 
process. It typically goes away within several hours.
