posts), away from cold drafts, internal heat sources and from heater
discharge.
BUILT-IN THERMOSTAT:

The thermostat should not be considered an infallible device in cases where maintaining a temperature is considered critical.
Examples: Hazardous material storage, computer server room, etc. In these particular cases, it is imperative to add a monitoring system to avoid the consequences of a thermostat failure. -
Adjustment range without degree indication.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
- The motor and the heater element are protected against overheating by an hi-limit temperature control with automatic reset.
- Cycling of the hi-limit temperature control is an indication of abnormal operation and should be corrected immediately.
