Q. The temperature on my heater does not match the temperature display on my wall, or
external thermostat. Why?
A. This is completely normal. The temperature display on your heater may vary from the temperature
display on another thermostat (like the one mounted to your wall or a purchased external thermostat).
This is because the temperature sensor on the heater reads the temperature directly around the
heater. With the heater near the cold floor (and heat rising), any readings on elevated or external
thermostats will differ in readings on the heater. The best way to operate your heater is to set the unit
on High and dial up to a temperature that feels comfortable to you. Then, leave it at that temperature,
regardless of the mismatch. The heater will cycle off when the set temperature is met or exceeded
slightly.
Q. Can I use more than one heater at a time? Can I use the heater and another appliance at the
same time?
A. Yes, but make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit. Each heater requires its own
minimum 15-amp circuit with no other items plugged into that circuit or outlet. This is because heaters
are considered appliances and draw out high amperage. If you are unsure whether your circuit meets
these requirements, verify with a certified electrician.
WARNING: Risk of fire, damage to property, or injury may result if requirements are not met.
Q. My heater’s display shows my ambient temperature to be in the 20s when I know it is
warmer than that. Why?
A. The heater’s display is defaulted to read the temperature as Fahrenheit. If your heater is definitely
heating but shows it is in the 20s you probably have the setting to read your temperature in Celsius
rather than Fahrenheit.
