Will the heater default to off or resume heating if the municipal power goes out then comes on?

The heater does not come back on after power off unless it's still hot the fan will come back on until it's cool but the heater does not come back on you have to reset it

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

This is the best portable electric heater I have ever had. It's quiet but has a fan for circulation and an optional oscillator to assure heating is not always focused on a single point. The thermostat is programmable and will shut the heater off when the ambient temp. gets to the setting. When that occurs the fan shuts off and when the temp. falls again, the unit restarts automatically. This process does not occur without changes in decibels.

The unit's control panel has no battery back-up system to "remember" what state of operation it was in prior to a loss of power. The heater defaults to the OFF when power is lost, then restored.

No it will not turn back on . You will turn the heater back on after loss of power . This is a safety feature that will prevent a fire .

If your humidistat actually breaks the power circuit, then yes leaving the unit on should re-start it when the power is resumed. It is a basic unit. You turn a mechanical knob to set fan speed to low, medium, or high. It stays on until it is turned off, or water gets low. I bought it for my mother in law to use in the winter, so I can not actually test my conclusion. All I know is she has to re-fill water tank every other day, which is a pain, however the unit is still working well.

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.

If you have a fresh battery in the unit and lose your electricity the correct time will be there when the electricity comes back on. Very nice Weather Alert. In the middle of the country we used ours several times this past summer to keep us safe. Thumbs up on this unit.

Better turn it off as soon as the power outage happens. Don't take risks with space heaters, no matter how safe they are.

So far the heater does not turn off by itself. There is a red light the glows to show power is on.

No, when your electricity goes out, you need to reset your timer. Easy finger adjustment.

The timer will help turning the heater off and on depending how you set it up.

Yes the heater can be turned off or on during the run cycle without unplugging it. Heater is activated by pushing the center button. A light around the button indicates when it is on or off.

Not sure about the shutdown, but it will come back on when power is restored (assuming loss of power).

No. When you turn the power off (timer) than you need to press the power switch on the unit for it to start again.

No, this is a strictly mechanical switch, you need to manually reset timer after power failure. I have been using this combination of timer and electric water heater for close to 30 years and believe it is even superior to the current fad of "on-demand" heaters.

Yes it does. When it reaches the set temperature it will go to just the pilot light and turn the heater back on when the temperature falls below the set level. The pilot light does remain lite so I would not leave it unattended for an extended period.
