The Thermostat (see Fig. 4) controls the heat output according to the room temperature. This ensuros that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when tho room is warm. To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the  required setting is reached.
Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room has reached the desirod temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will now automatically operate at this  temperature. With the thermostat set to
‘Be’ and the heat selection switch set to the required heat output the appliance switches on automatically when the temperature falls below 45C to 48C,
Note – Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat ls at a low setting, this may be duo to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
Heat Selector Switches (soe Fig. 5)
Selector switches located on the control panol provide a choice of heat output to suit varying conditions and for economy of oporation.
