features an adjustable thermostat which
detects the temperature in the vicinity of the
heater and switches the heating element off
when a preset temperature is reached.
Safety auto shutoff
If the appliance overheats, for example due to
the grilles being accidentally blocked, a switch
automatically activates to turn the heater off.
For added safety, you must remove the plug
from the wall and wait till the heater cools
down before the heater can be switched back
on.
Ceramic element

thatif the ceramic gets too hot, the flow of
electricity is automatically limited.

power to the heating element and fan if the
heater is accidentally tipped over. The heater
will not resume operation until it is replaced
