The low/high might be just the fan, but I would expect it to select a low or high heat range. The best way to use the heater is to set the temperature to the setting you want. Set the low/high switch to low. If the heater can't keep up with the job and your feet or such get cold, switch to the high range. Don't change the temperature setting. The low/high is separate from the temperature. The temperature setting just tells the heater to shut off because the desired temperature has been reached and to turn back on when it gets cold again. During cold days, you may need to use the high setting. During warmer days you should be able to use the low setting.

The low/high is just a fan blower setting. The heating element is what really sucks down the energy so if either way makes you comfortable, choose the setup that requires the heating element to run the least to save energy and money.
