OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fostoria FES and YES series heaters are designed
to circulate room air across its heating elements
to gradually increase room temperature. The best
performance results will be obtained when using
these heaters in smaller, conned spaces with low
ceilings.
Operation of these heaters is accomplished via
the use of a multi-function thermostat (refer to
diagram below).

You have the option to use the fan only*, or the fan and
heating elements together. Position the knob pointer
in the “fan-only” area to circulate room air with no
heating. Move the pointer into the “heat” area to
energize the heating elements and set the thermostat.
Maximum heating is obtained with knob turned fully
clockwise**. Both fan and elements are off when the
knob is turned fully counterclockwise.
Allow the fan to operate for a minimum of 3 minutes
when you are done using the heater to purge heat
from unit.
*The thermostat has a preset range of 40˚F to 100˚F.
If the ambient room temperature is below 40˚F, there
will be no “fan only” function as the thermostat is
always calling for heat.
**Setting the thermostat to high heat versus low
heat does not make the unit operate at a higher
temperature. It simply raises the temperature
necessary to satisfy the thermostat. The unit will run
longer to try to satisfy a higher thermostat setting.
Note: ALL FES/YES models are equipped with
an internal over temperature limit designed to
protect your heater if a restricted airow condition
occurs. This limit device will completely shut down
the heating elements if the temperature limit is
reached. The limit will automatically reset when
the unit cools.
