7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your heater, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

- Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Ensure the main power switch on the unit is in the "ON" position.
- Verify that there is power to the outlet by testing it with another appliance.

- The heater may have activated its overheating protection. Unplug the unit, allow it to cool down for 30 minutes, and check for any obstructions around the air inlets or outlets. Remove any blockages before plugging it back in.
- Ensure the room temperature has not reached the set temperature, causing the thermostat to turn off the heating element.

- Remote control is not working:

- Ensure there are no obstacles between the remote control and the heater's receiver.
- Make sure you are within the 5m operating range of the remote control.
- Heater is not producing enough heat:
- Ensure the heater is set to the "High Heat" (2000W) mode.
- Check that the set temperature is higher than the current room temperature.
- Verify that the coverage area (20-25 m²) is appropriate for the size of your room.
