8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your convector element, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | No power supply. Power/Heat setting knob is OFF. Thermostat set too low. | Check if the plug is securely in the outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional. Turn the Power/Heat setting knob to a heat setting (I, II, or III). Turn the Thermostat knob to a higher setting. |
| Heater produces insufficient heat. | Low heat setting selected. Thermostat set too low. Room size exceeds heater capacity. | Select a higher heat setting (II or III). Turn the Thermostat knob to a higher setting. This heater is designed for rooms up to 24m². Consider additional heating for larger spaces. |
| Heater cycles on and off frequently. | Thermostat is maintaining the set temperature. | This is normal operation. If the room is too warm, lower the thermostat setting. |
| Unusual odor or smoke. | New heater burning off manufacturing residues (initial use). Dust accumulation. Internal malfunction. | A slight odor during first use is normal and should dissipate. Ensure good ventilation. Unplug and clean the heater (refer to Maintenance section). If odor/smoke persists, immediately unplug and contact customer support. Do not use. |
