THERMOSTAT

CONTROL

OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on these mod- els differs from standard thermostats. Stan- dard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature. The thermo- stat adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame height. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set tem- perature. The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and LO. Selecting the HI setting will cause the burner to remain fully on without modulating down in most cases.

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea- sures the temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depending on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.

VP1000BT specifications

Desa VP1000BT is an innovative heating appliance that merges advanced technology with user-friendly features. Designed for efficient and effective heating, this model stands out in the competitive market of space heaters.

One of the key features of the Desa VP1000BT is its Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to control the heater through a smartphone app. This capability provides unparalleled convenience, enabling users to adjust settings, set timers, and monitor temperature levels without needing to be in the same room. The seamless integration with smart home systems enhances its usability, making it a popular choice for tech-savvy consumers.

The heater utilizes infrared heating technology, which is known for its ability to provide instantaneous warmth. Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air, infrared models heat objects and people directly, resulting in a more comfortable and consistent temperature without the dry air commonly associated with conventional heating methods. This not only improves comfort but also increases energy efficiency, as the heater operates more effectively in warming the intended space.

The Desa VP1000BT is designed with safety in mind. It is equipped with several safety features, including overheat protection and a tip-over switch. These mechanisms ensure that the heater automatically shuts off if it becomes too hot or if it is accidentally knocked over, providing peace of mind for users, especially in homes with children or pets.

Additionally, the sleek and modern design of the Desa VP1000BT allows it to blend seamlessly with various interior décor styles. Its compact size makes it easy to move from room to room, while its lightweight construction adds to its portability.

Another notable characteristic is its energy efficiency. The heater is designed to consume less power while still delivering excellent heating performance. This feature is especially appealing in times of rising energy costs, as it helps users save on their monthly energy bills.

In summary, the Desa VP1000BT is a forward-thinking heating solution that combines cutting-edge technology with user-oriented features. Its Bluetooth connectivity, infrared heating, safety mechanisms, and energy efficiency make it an outstanding choice for modern households seeking reliable and effective heating options. Whether for a cozy night in or a chilly morning, the Desa VP1000BT is designed to meet diverse heating needs while prioritizing comfort and safety.
