FROST-GUARD SETTING
This special setting will automatically turn on the heater if
the room’s temperature reaches freezing. To set, turn the
Thermostat Control all the way to LO ( ), and turn the
Selector Control to either HI ( II ) or LO ( I ).
COLOR CHANGING DISPLAY
Your heater features the revolutionary technology and
safety of Color Changing Display. As your heater warms
up, parts of the front grill will change color, a visual
reminder that the grill is warm and the heater is on. The
exact timing of the color change may vary. When the
heater is turned off, the grill will return to its original color,
thus indicating the grill is cool to the touch. This may take
up to an hour depending on the environment surrounding
the heater and the cooling down time of the element.
NOTE:
If left in extreme cold temperatures (-22°F/-30°C)
the Color Changing Display may not perform. The heater
itself will function normally. Store heater in a cool and dry
location.
NOTE:
The color changing effect may wear off after
continuous, heavy use of the heater or in time. The heater
will continue to operate normally.
AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF
