7. OPERATION The blower is designed for automatic operation using a thermal switch. It will take approximately 1015 minutes for the appliance to warm up and allow the switch to activate the blower. To operate the blower, rotate the Speed Control knob clockwise from OFF to HIGH. Further rotation will control the blower speed, once the automatic thermal switch has been activated. Should electrical power fail, the heater operation will remain unaffected.
