This heater includes a manual reset SLP thermal protector with a 
self-hold feature. If the heater shuts off in the on position and the room 
temperature is below the highest thermostat setting, immediately discon-
nect the power to the heater at the circuit breaker. Inspect for any objects 
on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. After 

inspecting the heater, keep the power to the heater off for 10 minutes to reset the SLP 
thermal protector. If the SLP thermal protector shuts the heater off again, immediately turn 
the heater off at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor failure or 
dirt and lint on the heating element. Repeat the starting procedure.
