TEST OPERATION OF UNIT:


To ''test'' the unit when ambient air temperature is above 45^oF you must simulate an ambient below 45F. To create the simulation: With the heater unit plugged into a 120V power source, locate the 1/2'' dia. hole marked ''Test'' on the end cover of the unit. Using the 6 oz. can of Freeze Mist spray supplied with your heater, insert the ''straw'' into the nozzle and spray a 2-3 second burst of mist into the ''Test'' hole. This will ''trick'' the thermostat into turning the heater ''ON''. After a period of time (30 sec. - 3 min.), the ambient temperature of your test environment will resume control of the thermostat and turn your heater ''OFF''.
