Pressing the Mode/Off Button to select your desired comfort level:
1. HI - Manual HIGH
Press the Mode/Off Button once to set the heater at HI manual setting. The HI Indicator Light will illuminate. The heater will run continuously at HIGH setting.

Continue to press the Mode/Off Button to cycle through the Temperature Indicators (60 °F - 80 °F) until your desired temperature is set in either HI or LO setting. The selected Temperature Indicator Light will illuminate. When the ambient temperature rises above the set temperature, the heater will stop. When the ambient temperature drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on automatically.
NOTE: When the 1Touch® thermostat is set, either the HI or LO Indicator light, and the preset Temperature Indicator Light will remain lit during operation. (See Figure 1)
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 raise the thermostat setting. When the preset temperature is made, the fan will run for 30 seconds without heat. This cool down process ensures an accurate and consistent temperature reading.
NOTE: 1Touch® has memory. The 1Touch® thermostat will remember the previous temperature setting after the unit has been turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged, or the unit is turned off, the 1Touch® thermostat will be reset and will no longer remember the previous setting.
PIVOTING GRILL
For improved heat circulation, your heater comes with a manual pivoting grill. The top half of your grill pivots to the
left and right for better heat distribution. The bottom half of the heater is stationary and will not turn. (See Figure 2)
