Is it working properly? Example, I turn it on and the temp on the display says 67. Within 20 minutes, the temp on the display says 72, but the room is nowhere near 72 yet. But the unit shuts down because the set temp has been reached. I guess the air closest to the unit has warmed up a bit. So, how do you heat the room without setting it to 90?Also, when the unit is on, the heat warning marker on the grill turns red, but only on the upper half. The lower half stays dark. Is the heater getting hot enough? I though the whole marker would get red. Thanks for your help! Is it working properly? Example, I turn it on and the temp on the display says 67.

I've got five of these that I use to heat my house. You may have placed the unit in a location where the air doesn't flow well, so it gets hot locally, but not throughout the room. Or you are not giving it enough time for the size of the room and its coldness. Against a blank warm wall with nothing in front seems optimal. The unit actually cycles a lot while heating up a room, otherwise the marker would glow red all the time. When the room temperature stabilizes I find the marker should be off or only dimly red.

Hmm. Aren't you supposed to put a fanless convection heater in front of the coldest area. A sliding door should be ideal. That's how the heat spreads around because of the differential in temps. That's the point of getting a fanless convection, I thought.

Mine has stopped putting out heat. The light is on and I can't find the manual and don't remember what buttons I am to push. Does anyone have the directions for use that can send them to me? Thanks S

Turn heater on and let it run for a minute to produce heat. Then touch the set Button> It will display the temp. > the heater is set at and flash. Use the up and down buttons to set desired temp. Then touch the set button to lock it in. This heater does not constantly display temp, the panel will go off, but the heater is still on the auto setting. I do not like this heater as much as my higher end Comfort ZONE Heater, but for the price it does OK. There should be no codes, sometimes if you set the timer the 1hr looks like a code, if you want to use the timer, follow the instructions, they didn,t to to bad regarding that feature...

Hi Erin, the unit measures the temperature of the surfaces it 'sees'. If you cannot actually see the heater, I suggest you take comparative readings of a surface that will warm when the heater is on and cool when it is off. This will give you a base for future readings to determine whether the heater is working or not. I hope this is of assistance. Cheers, Ken

I believe this is a defective Thermometer. We could not get it to work properly and the instructions are inconsistent with their directions. Sorry you are having a problem. We ended up purchasing a clock that sets by satellite with a temperature gauge reading as well that we used for the room temperature and then we purchased a whelping heater that had a built in temperature setting.

I found the temp to be off on mine. I used a remote thermometer to set the correct temp to 135 for an hour. This worked fine. I did let it warm up for 15 to 20 min

Well I've never checked the temperature with anything. I usually have it set on 350 and just assume that's the temperature it's at. It cooks everything I've put in it very well at that setting that's all I can tell you.

Yes..first time using..temp is difficult to get over250, and drops to 150 immediately on opening grill top. Does anyone else notice that the back of the grill is open above the black backing? Heat is escaping, though doesn't feel like much. The food, hamburgers and sausage, seems to be cooking though, and nicely. What's the deal here?

I keep mine set at about 30 degrees. I have a thermometer on the wall and when I am not in my shop I turn the thermostat down to 30. If I turn it down more the heater will not run at all.

Not to sound condescending but if you don't have the "HEAT" function turned on the unit will not heat up. If it is still set to FAN or AC it will allow you to set it for 90 but it won't heat (and mine only goes to 80??) Additionally, if it is VERY cold (like 20s or below) the unit will not heat, it acts like a heat pump and the amount of heat goes down as the temps drop below 32 degrees. I only use mine to heat from about 30-55 degrees which covers about 90% of the time here in Alabama. During REALLY cold spells we cover the unit and use this DeLonghi TRD0715T Safeheat 1500W Portable Oil-Filled Radiator with Vertical Thermal Tunnels which we purchased here at Amazon and have used it for many years.

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.

In order to start the heating process, a time and temperature is set. The unit turns off at the end of that time. I have used the probe and the display cycles through with time left, current temperature and probe temperature, but to my knowledge, you cannot set unit to shut off on probe temperature.

It usually heats up under a minute. If you increase the heat and the display doesn't go up, you most likely have a defective unit.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

I have mine set to 1 as well for that same purpose. Mine does turn on and off and has never went on once the tempature has reached its setting. I am in NY so its a basement unit and stays around the 40-50 degree range. there may be a probem with the unit. I would reach out to customer service.

Spike, I've found there are two situations when I feel like I have to hold the button in forever before it lights: the first is when the ambient temperature is very cold - in the twenty to thirty-five degree range; the second is after I release the button too soon and the pilot-light goes out before the thermocouple reaches the temperature where it will allow the gas to flow. For some reason it seems every time that happens, subsequent attempts find it very difficult to light. I've been able to resolve these problems with help from a grill-lighter (one of those lighters with a long nozzle, available everywhere for around three-dollars) If the heater doesn't light after holding in the ignition button for about ten-fifteen seconds, try again after holding the flame from the lighter underneath the thermocouple for ten-fifteen seconds (the thermocouple is located just to the left of the pilot light, it's easy to see) Hope this helps.

Sounds like you have a bad control board. The temp can be set on both the front face of the unit and with the remote control. Take it back and get a new one!!

My problem is If turn OFF the light is turn OFF, but heater is still ON, If you turn ON the heater the light is ON but heater is not ON not heating, sometimes when its ON and Its heating the thermostat numbers moves backward, from 90,85,80,75,and my room temp.showing 90degree Its funny ... I called Mickey Mouse Honeywell Heater, Ha,Ha,Ha, My Heater is just 2 months old, My Heater too make metal bending noise, I have to plug and unplug my heater every time from the wall socket to turn On and turn OFF ...to me Its a dangerous heater !!
