Picked up an older 220V Intertherm "The Hot One" heater on C/L and while it works very well in warming my garage, I think there might be a issue with the rheostat switch. It has a large white dot which I assumed is the off position and numbers #1-5 for heat selections as you turn the knob to the right. The problem is the unit will come on with heat in what I feel is the off position........ There is also a knob to the right marked "Auto" & On. I have kept it in the auto position. Is there any one w/ this same heater who knows the correct function of the heater? I believe this heater is presently sold as a "Cadet" unit although with somewhat different knob operation. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
