Operating - Fostoria SUN-MITE FES Serie Manual Del Usario

Fostoria FES and YES series heaters are designed
to circulate room air across its heating elements to
gradually increase room temperature. The best
performance results will be obtained when using
these heaters in smaller, confined spaces with low
ceilings.
Operation of these heaters is accomplished via the
use of a multi-function thermostat (refer to
diagram below).

HEAT
You have the option to use the fan only*, or the
fan and heating elements together. Position the
knob pointer in the "fan-only" area to circulate
room air with no heating. Move the pointer into
the "heat" area to energize the heating elements
and set the thermostat. Maximum heating is
obtained with knob turned fully clockwise**.
Both fan and elements are off when the knob is
turned fully counterclockwise.
Allow the fan to operate for a minimum of 3
minutes when you are done using the heater to
purge heat from unit.
*The thermostat has a preset range of 40˚F to
100˚F. If the ambient room temperature is
below 40˚F, there will be no "fan only"
function as the thermostat is always calling for
heat.
**Setting the thermostat to high heat versus
low heat does not make the unit operate at a
higher temperature.
