Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | No power supply; Overheat protection activated; Remote control battery low. | Check circuit breaker. Allow unit to cool down. Replace remote control batteries. |
| Heater produces lukewarm air. | High volume fan dispersing heat rapidly; Incorrect wattage setting (if applicable). | This heater features a powerful fan designed to distribute warmth widely. The air may feel less hot directly at the output due to rapid mixing. Ensure the unit is set to its highest wattage for maximum heat output. Verify proper electrical connection for full power. |
| Heater randomly switches to low power. | Potential manufacturing defect in older models. | If this issue persists, contact customer support for assistance. |
| Fan runs but no heat. | Unit is sampling room temperature. | This is normal operation. The fan will run for approximately 60 seconds every 5-10 minutes to check the ambient temperature. |
