Troubleshooting
Heater not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the thermostat is set to a desired temperature above the current ambient temperature.
Heater switches off unexpectedly
The overheat protection may have engaged. Ensure vents are clear of obstructions and the unit is not placed too close to walls or other objects. Allow the unit to cool down before resetting.
Fan not working (in fan-only mode)
Verify the unit is switched to the 25W fan setting and the thermostat is set appropriately. Check power connection.
Low heat output
Ensure the heater is set to the 2kW setting. Check if the thermostat setting is higher than the room temperature. The heater's effectiveness can be reduced in very large or poorly insulated spaces.
