Possible Causes

The heater is unplugged.

The fuse is blown/circuit

breaker is tripped.

Power failure.

Power interruption or

power failure occurred.

Heater knocked or tipped over.

Airflow is restricted.

The temp control may not

be set correctly.

The room may have been cold.

The batteries are inserted

incorrectly.

The batteries may be dead.

This is normal. After turning

the heater off, the fan will

continue to run for up to one

minute to cool internal parts.

What To Do

• Make sure the heater plug is pushed completely

into the outlet.

• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace

the fuse or reset the breaker.

• If a power failure occurs, turn the heater off.

When power is restored, restart the heater.

• When the power is restored, restart the heater.

• See the Tip-Over Switch (on some models) section.

• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture

blocking the inlet or outlet of the heater. Make sure

there is at least 3 feet (0.9 m) of space on all sides of

the unit.

• In LO heat or HI heat mode, press the Increase pad.

• When the heater is first turned on, you need to allow

time for the room to warm up.

• Check the position of the batteries. They should be

inserted in the opposite (+) and (–) direction.

• Replace the batteries.

• Wait—when internal parts are cool, the fan will

automatically turn off.
