TROUBLE SHOOTING
If this heater shuts off unexpectedly:
1. Make sure heater is plugged in, then set the
Power Selector Knob to Low or High ; and the
Temperature Control Knob to “High” (see Fig A)
(see “Starting Heater” under Operating
Instructions).
If heater stills fails to
operate, proceed to steps 2 through 7.
2. Unplug heater and allow to cool.
3. Make sure the front of the heater is not
blocked, covered, or close to any other objects.
Also, do not sit, or allow a large pet to sit, too
close to the heater - this could also cause the
heater to overheat.
4. Check to see if the heater guard or reflector
is dirty. This could cause the heater to distribute
heat poorly - ultimately causing it to overheat.
(See cleaning instructions on page 4)
5. Locate the Reset Plunger which is on
the top of the heater in the center near
the front edge.
(See FIG. A to the left)
6. Reset Your Heater’s shut off switch. Press the
reset plunger down until you feel or hear the
switch “click.”
