can the heat be turned off by pusing the button during a running cycle. I read you have to unplug it to turn the heater off

Why would you. When you push for heat, then you want heat. If you don't want heat in the first place don't turn it on.

I haven't tried to turn it off since the booklet said you have to turn the machine off first. I assume it is to protect the machine.

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.

You don't have to unplug it. I keep mine plugged in with no problems. Nothing remains running. I'm not even sure why it says that.

When you hook up the power wire, you will use an ignition source and the heater will turn off with the ignition. But, you have to manually turn off the switch if you do not want it to come back on when turn the ignition back on. It only takes a minute to figure out that the heater is on! This one heats up very fast.

I research online and yes it can be turn off. Also, Jay M is mistaken in the answer, yes it does produce ozone but it produces in lower quantity, less than 0.5, but having it on all the time can be a hazard for your health due to the quantity of ozone on the area after long period of running

No... I just try not to kick it over... :) It is an awesome heater in every other regard. I turn it off when I leave the room; it is on now.

No you have to unplug it to shut it off. However, it is designed to provide low heat. This is the second one I have owned.I wore the other one out. Usually we do not get temperatures below low to mid 20's and not many of them.

The heat coils and fan will turn off when the room reaches the desired temp. There is also a fan-only setting that will run if you just need a fan.

You can't turn it off unless you unplug it. It's the same temperature while plugged in.

I never turn mine off. The heated fluid works great on "bug juice". Removing the inline fuse on the main electrical line will turn it off, if you need/want to.

It only has two switches. One is a hi lo switch. The other is a gradient switch to set the temperature. To turn the unit off, it must be unplugged. Don't let that be your deciding factor however. The two we have on our second floor are amazing and have completely replaced the heat pump.

Yes, you unplug to turn it off. But be sure to unplug first, then remove from the water or it will stop working. To boil, put in water first, then plug in.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

You need to make sure you shut it off at the switch. It seems to cycle the heater briefly on an off until the switch is off.

I haven't experienced any heat problems myself. I think it is a nice little unit.The Power button turns everything off at once. I really don't see any need for that feature. I guess it may be nice if you are getting a lot of power hits during a storm just to be safe. ??

Yes you can, there is one button below the row of three buttons that turns it off.

I run it for weeks, it has a temp control so when my room gets to that temp it will turn off so it is not on all the time. Great Heater
