THIS HEATER IS NOT TO BE USED WITH A REGULAR WALL THERMOSTAT. CAUTION: This heater must be properly installed before it is used. The PCH is a Precision Comfort Heater, which maintains a constant room temperature through the continuous addition of heat by the blowing of air into the room based on the setting of the thermostat. The PCH operates such that once the room reaches the set point, the fan and heater will continuously run at a low level, to maintain the desired room temperature. If the temperature in the room rises, i.e. sun coming through a window, the fan will slow further and the temperature of the heater will reduce so that the temperature of the room will continue to be the same. ! NOTE: The element retains heat after shutdown, there is a built in cool down period of 2 ½ minutes before the fan shuts off completely. WARNING: Should the Over Temp light come on, disconnect power to the heater and call a licensed electrician. DO NOT USE HEATER UNTIL THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS DETERMINED AND FIXED.
