Troubleshooting

Heater not turning on

Check that the unit is securely plugged into a working socket. Ensure the power source is adequate for the 2400W requirement. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

Insufficient heating

Ensure the correct heat setting (1200W or 2400W) is selected. Check that the thermostat is set higher than the current greenhouse temperature. Verify the greenhouse is well-insulated and not excessively large for the heater's capacity.

Fan not working

Select the 'Fan only' mode or a heat setting. Ensure the fan vents are not blocked. If the fan remains inoperable, contact customer support.

Heater switches off unexpectedly

This could be due to overheating. Ensure air vents are clear and the unit is not covered. Check for obstructions. Allow the unit to cool down before attempting to restart.
