Continued

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit)

1. Turn control knob clockwise Clockwise to the PILOT position.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on these models differs from standard thermo- stats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature. The thermostat 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 temperature. 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 measures 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 tempera- tures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.

VP2800BTC, VP2000BTC specifications

Vanguard Heating has made notable strides in the heating solutions market with its cutting-edge models, the VP2000BTC and VP2800BTC. These units cater to both residential and commercial needs, providing users with efficient heating capabilities under various conditions.

The VP2000BTC is designed with a powerful 2000-watt output, making it suitable for smaller spaces or specific zones within larger environments. It boasts a sleek, modern design that allows for easy integration into any setting, whether it’s a living room, office, or workshop. One of its key features is the advanced thermostat control, which enables precise temperature regulation. This not only enhances user comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency by ensuring that the heating system operates only when necessary.

On the other hand, the VP2800BTC steps up the power to an impressive 2800 watts, making it ideal for larger spaces requiring a more robust heating solution.
