Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is
activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the
operating temperature).
Once the safety thermostat has switched itself on, the device
will be turned off.
When the device has cooled down sufficiently, the heating will
be switched back on.
Investigate the cause of overheating.
If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of
overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that
case the device switches off completely. If so, please contact
the customer service to have the overheating protection
replaced.
Tilt protection
The device comes equipped with a tilt protection. The tilt
protection is a safety device intended to minimize the risk of fire
in case the device is tipped over inadvertently. The device will
be switched off when knocked over (or if its upright position is
changed in any other manner).
The tilt protection switches the device off when it is inclined by
a few degrees out of its vertical position. The device can again
be used as usual only a few seconds after placing it back in
vertical position and on solid ground.
When the device is installed again, an acoustic signal is emitted
and the device can be switched on again as described in the
chapter "Operation".
