power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will reset
automatically, it will continue to cycle on and off automatically until
the reason for overheating is removed.
Fuselink
A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the
fuse link operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal
overheating within the appliance and servicing of the appliance by
a competent service engineer will be required in order to ensure
the future safe operation of the heater. Customer services should
be contacted in the event of fault or failure.
