Overheat Protection and Prevention
This heater is equipped with an automatic thermal cut-off (overheat protection),
which switches the heater off automatically in the event of abnormal over-
heating. While this features provides additional safety in case of overheating,
first and foremost you should make sure to eliminate all potential reasons that
can lead to overheating and create a fire risk.
If the overheat protection has been triggered, switch off the heater, unplug
it from the electrical socket and let the appliance cool for about 30 minutes.
Eliminate the cause of the overheating (for example, excessive dust in the
appliance, or the air outlet is covered) and start it up again. If after eliminating
the cause you still cannot switch the heater back on, or if the overheating
protection circuit switches on without an apparent reason, contact our after
sales support centre for advice.
IMPORTANT!
• A common cause of overheating is deposits of dust and fluff entering
the heater. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging
the heater, allowing it to cool and cleaning it as described opposite.
• Also make sure that the appliance can sufficiently dissipate the heat
generated. This is particularly important in case the overheat protection
has been triggered. Ensure there is sufficient room all around the heater,
and nothing is covering or obstructing the air outlet or intake.
Tilt Protection (Tip-Over Safety Switch)
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety switch, which switches off the
heater in the event that it is knocked over or tilted to a position where safe
operation is in jeopardy. Once the heater is restored an upright position, the
heater will reset.
