doubts wait for the unit to thoroughly cool and them complete a more detailed inspection.
If no damage has occurred to the elements, re-connect power cord to the power supply and switch the
heater back on.
The infrared element is fragile and therefore it is important that it is not subjected to any unnecessary shocks
or vibration and is not moved when it is on or until cooled down.
The heater can be operated with either one lamp or both lamps illuminated as desired, but ensure both lamps
are fitted at all times.
IMPORTANT: DURING RELOCATION, THE HEATER SHOULD REMAIN SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED
