The “Manual” position is for manual operation. In this
position the built-in remote control is by-passed.

To adjust the temperature to your individual
requirements, turn the thermostat control clockwise
all the way to turn on the heater. When the room
reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat
knob counter clockwise until you hear a click. Leave in
this position to maintain the room temperature at this
setting. For additional heat, turn clockwise until you
hear the click again and the heater will turn on.

turn the heater off and it will not come back on without
being reset. It can be reset by switching the Main On/
Off Switch to Off and waiting five (5) minutes before
switching the unit back on.
