How to operate your heater

2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the knob to the left, just until it clicks and the
heater turns o. 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.
