Can it be set to 40 or 42 degrees ,to keep above freezing, and left that way?

Carl, The lowest it can be set is 45 degrees and held at that setting. I hope this helps.

Hi: In answer to your question, 45 degrees is the lowest mine will set at. Hope that helps, Phillip

I got mine down to 39 degrees, but I have no experience with performance at that temperature.

Yes, it ranges from keep warm all the way to 400 degrees with marked temperature settings in between.

Since they do not use degrees as a measurement on the dial you can only set for low which in most of these heaters is around 50 degrees. They will vary between them and the manufacturers will not guarantee any setting. They just expect you to find an adequate setting for your needs. The difference in operation time from 40 to 50 degrees is negligible in my estimation so just using the lowest setting no matter the temp should be adequate for most situations. Hope this helps.

Since most people connect this to a AC/heater in AC mode the refrigerant run near 40 degree so cooling around that temperature is impossible. In heating mode 45 is easy.

No it's not, but you could program the stat to turn the temperature down for all but one hour of the day. I think 41 degrees is as low as the stat will go.

We use it in a lage storage building that lately has been around 40 degrees, no freezing yet.

We have built up a good fire in the 40s and been comfortable. We have not tried it in freezing temperatures, but I would say it all depends how high you build it up.

When used indoors the ambient temperature in the basement should be above 40 degrees. If your sealing from the outside in, outdoor temps must be above the freezing mark.

I use my thermostat to control the cooling range on an iceless cooler. Fiddling with the thermostat I have noted that it can go as low as minus 58 to well over 200 degrees F. The temperature settings are manually set.

Mine has run at 60 degrees F with no problems. At temperatures below 64 it will go into periodic defrost mode which will prevent freeze-up. The operator's manual states that the unit will operate in temps down to 41 F. The manual says if the room temp remains below 41 F, the machine should be switched off.

Rather than give you a "non-answer" like everybody else, I will give you the answer: No you cannot. The keep warm setting is too high (165°F).

I checked on my unit and the control goes down to 60 degrees.I have never had it lower than 72.I live in Houston and the room stays cold when the A/C is running.

It can not be used outside where temps go below freezing. However, it can be used inside as in a basement.

No, the instructions says it'll keep things about 40ºF below the surrounding temperature. I doubt your area would be below about 38ºC.

The answer 46 to 54 - starts at 50 is confusing. Can you clarify? Can the unit chill in the 40s, let alone 46?

There is no true On/Off setting. If you want interior temps to fall below 40F, you would need to turn the unit off at the circuit breaker.
