Troubleshooting
(IF IN DOUBT isolate the appliance and seek professional advice)
The unit does not switch on:
• Making sure it is safe to do so, check the mains supply.
• Making sure it is safe to do so, check the fuse in the mains supply.
• Check main power on/off switch is on and red light behind screen illuminates.
• Change the battery in the remote control handset.
• If none of the above work, then please refer to your retailer.
The heater smells of burning:
• On first uses there may be a smell as the heating elements burn off residual deposits from
manufacture.
• After periods of no use, dust can settle on the elements and will burn off. Excessive dust and fluff
is a fire risk and should be eliminated by following the service and maintenance steps above.
When the heater is switched on it cuts itself off.
• This could be the normal operation of the thermostat having been set to a target temperature,
and is fine.
• This could be the safety thermal cut-out device operating. If this operates, then firstly isolate the
appliance from the mains and then check for obstructions to the air flow and remove them. This
could be fluff under the fire, for example. Once the obstruction(s) have been removed, let the
appliance cool down for 15 minutes and then reconnect the appliance to the mains and try the
appliance again. If the issue persists, then seek the advice of a competent person or your retailer.
