USING YOUR HEATER
Safety Protective Devices
The appliance is fitted with an over heat protection
system and a tip over switch.
•Overheat protection - the power to the heating elements
will automatically cut off if the temperature of the
heating elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of
overheating, the heater will stop operating. Switch the
appliance off and allow it to completely cool.
•Tip over switch - The unit needs to be placed on a flat and
firm surface to ensure that the tip over switch is balanced. If
in the event that the unit tips over or is placed on an uneven
or soft surface the fan will not operate as the tip over switch
will be activated and the appliance will cut out.
•Note: the safety tip over switch is housed within the
product. When the product is moved you will hear the tip
over switch moving. It will make a rattling noise but
please note this is normal.
