7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ReadyWarm 11000 radiator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator does not turn on | Not plugged in; power switch off; no power from outlet. | Ensure plug is fully inserted; check power switches are on; test outlet with another appliance. |
| Radiator turns off unexpectedly | Overheating (OverProtect/AutoOff System activated); thermostat set too low. | Unplug and let cool for 30 minutes. Check for obstructions. Increase thermostat setting. |
| Insufficient heat output | Power level too low; thermostat set too low; room size too large for setting. | Increase power level (e.g., to 2000 W); raise thermostat setting; ensure room size is within 25 m² for optimal heating. |
