button, all temperature lights will illuminate to indicate
the maximum temperature (85°F) is selected. When the
preset temperature is reached, the heater will cool down
by blowing cool air for 60 seconds, the power light will
flash during the cool down period, and then the heater
will shut off. When the room temperature drops below the
preset temperature, the heater will automatically turn on
again to maintain the preset temperature level.
NOTE: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as
it maintains the preset temperature. To prevent the unit
from cycling, you need to change the thermostat setting.
The digital thermostat has memory; it will remember the
last temperature setting before the heater is turned off.
However, if the heater is unplugged, the digital thermostat
will no longer remember the previous temperature setting.
You will need to reset the digital thermostat if the heater
is unplugged.
