what does "automatic thermostat control" mean? Does it mean the heater shuts off when the desired temp is reached, & on again when the temp falls?

In a sense, yes. You can't program it (it's not digital, just a dial that rotates) but if you have it on low heat it will shut off quick, if you have it on medium heat it will sense that it's warm and shut off (in my office, it takes a while if ever to shut off and I have it set in the middle of the dial) and I haven't tried it, but I'm sure if you have it on full heat (warmest setting) it probably won't shut off for a LONG time.But after the room has cooled off it will turn back on and start heating again.Hope this helps.

I think it means that if it were to get too hot then it would automatically shut off for safety reasons. I have this heater in my office and it would go all day long if it let it, so it doesn't shut off at any desired temp.

It's in the remote, you can set the remote to a certain temp, when that low temp is reached in the room at the remote the fan will turn off automatically, when the temp goes back above the set temp the fan will go on again by itself, of course you can override this feature and have the fan just stay on no matter what the temp is.

No, the fan will run while the heater is heating, but both the heat and fan will shut on and off according to the temperature you have it set to. (There is no actual number or degree of heat you can set, you just turn the dial on the far right, and when the desired warmth has been reached, slowly turn it down til the heat/fan turns itself off. When the room temp falls, it will automatically turn itself on again.

The thermostat know has 10 indicated settings plus the on and off settings. The instruction manual says the following: Set the thermostat knob by turning clockwise to where you want it and allow the heater to warm up the room. When the desired comfort level is reached, lower the thermostat slowly until you hear the unit click off. Heater will now automatically maintain the desired comfort level. I paraphrased a little bit. In other words, once the desired temp. has been reached the heater cycles on and off. Works fine. There are no specific numbers on the heater knob. You just have to find what's comfortable for you.

To add to Rachel's comment, the fan will stay on for a short while when the unit is shut off (or it is automatically shut off via the thermostat). This may be a safety feature to cool the inside down and/or extract the remaining heat.

You can set the thermostat so that the fan will automatically turn on (or off) when the room temperature rises above (or below) the set temperature. [It normally displays the current room temperature - except when you are Setting it to a start temperature].

Yes you select the desired temperature and once reached the machine does shut itself off. Once the temp rises to about 3 or 4degrees above desired temp it kicks back on to lower it again.

Variable heat control will be low, medium, high. Controlled by a knob. Thermostat will be just like a thermostat for your oven or heater. set it for 70 and it shuts off when then thermostat reaches 70 and comes back on automatically

Jennifer, Yes it has a thermostat built in and it will turn off once the desired room temp is reached. The thermostat is in the knob tho, there's no temperature number setting like on your home central heat or AC. It's one of those deals where you have to guesstimate by using the knob. It's not hard to figure out once you use it a few times. One other thing to note is that there's a "burn off" smell that takes a few days of use to go away. The smell set off our smoke detectors and I was pretty worried. I called the company about it and they said that the new coating on it would eventually burn off and it did, but be prepared to endure smoke detector alerts if they're positioned near the heater. Our heater was hooked up by our gas company. If you're going to use natural gas, and your existing gas line, I highly recommend you contact your gas company vs. a private contractor.....for safety reasons and ability to hold someone responsible if there's a gas leak problem down the road. Good luck; I really like this heater.

The thermostat has an Auto Recovery feature. The manual describes it as follows: "Auto recovery - allows heating and cooling systems to gradually recover from an energy-saving setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature. Auto recovery calculates the time needed to adjust the temperature to the next program setting. When the thermostat is in Auto Recover mode, the display will flash alternating messages of RECO and the time. Auto Recovery can be disabled by sliding the recovery switch on the back of the circuit board to the disable position."

"Temperature sensing mechanical thermostat" This holds the temp within a few degrees of where you set it. If the heater is "on" the pilot lite is always running. When the heater is turned off all gas flow is shut off. Restart of the heater requires override of the safety shutoff to get the pilot light lit and up to temp. (Just like a gas water heater)

It depends on how you wire it. I have mine attached to a wall mounted on off switch. If it is hard wired without a intervening switch it will restart automatically and will suto shut off based on the thermostat. Because it needs to be mountef 6 plus feet from the floor I mounted mine off the ceiling. I did not want to use ladder to adjust thermostat so I put in on off switch.

I have never used the timer but if you set the temp. it will automatically heat up the room until it reaches that temp. then it will automatically turn off. I have it run in my kids room at night, I set the temp to low 70 and it will continue to heat all night and turn off automatically. The temp gage it a little off. I have a Thermometer in my kids room that says the room is 67 when the heater is set to 70. I like it because it is safe with the tip over switch and it has a energy save mode.

You turn it on and it's good to go...you control it with the remote control. There's a high and a low setting. Once it reaches the max. temp within both of those settings, it will shut off and come back on, just like your furnace. The temperature is a digital panel on the front, so you know what temp the room is at. Very handy unit.

I did not see that in the discription. it says auto shut off feature. I think it means that if it over heats it will shut off. I love mine. However, I don't have pets or kids that would would bump in to it to tip it over. I also don't sleep with it on. just a safety thing for me. hope this helps.

It has a thermostat so it will automatically come on when the temp goes below 34 and shut off above that. Mine is working well as it has been below 25 here since I got it.

It has a thermostat. Once it reaches temperature it stops heating and starts heating as it cools down again. So far it has worked well. Only used it a few times.
