General Operation

WARNING: This electric firebox must be properly installed before it is used.

This firebox operates with Comfort$averTM technology, which automatically adjusts the fan speed and heater wattage to safely and precisely match the requirements of the room based on the thermostat setting. The heater 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 significantly, i.e. sun coming through a window or a central furnace turns on, the heater will turn off and periodically turn back on to circulate the air around the unit, until the room temperature drops and requires the heater to be constantly on again.

NOTE: The unit is designed so that the fan will run continuously while the heater is on.
NOTE: The element retains heat after shutdown, there is a built-in cool-down period of 2 minutes before the fan shuts off completely when the heat function is turned Off.
