TO STOP HEATER

CAUTION: Never unplug heater while heater is running. Heater must go through purge cycle. The purge cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combus- tion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until purge cycle is complete.

1.Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature setting. This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the purge cycle. This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the purge cycle is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until purge cycle is finished.

2.Unplug extension cord from outlet.

3.To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around heater matches thermostat setting.

TO RESTART HEATER

	CAUTION: Do not restart
heater until purge cycle is fin-
ished. The purge cycle cools the
combustion chamber.
1.	Wait until purge cycle is finished after stopping
	heater.
2.	Repeat steps under To Start Heater, page 4.
