TROUBLESHOOTING & WARRANTY
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
IF THE HEATER/FAN FAILS TO OPERATE:
A) Check to make sure that the heater/fan is plugged in securely. If it is not,
remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again
securely.
B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem
to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
C) Check if electricity to the main power switch in the back of the unit appears
to be working.
D) Make sure the heater is in the upright position.
NOTE: For the heater to function properly, the desired temperature on the
heater must be set a few degrees higher than the temperature in the
room. If the unit seems to not be heating properly, increase the desired
temperature on the heater to fully engage the heating elements.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM, CONTACT A QUALIFIED
