•Switch appliance back on and ES control will re-set
•Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. Is the ES Control operates again, the appliance should be

thermostat ‘clicks’ off, leave the control at this setting. Thereafter, the fan heater will control
the heat output automatically.

Thereafter the heater will trip in if the temperature drops sufficiently. The heater needs to be in the “ON” mode
with the neon indicator light illuminated for this function to operate.
