If you experience issues with your heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Heater not turning on:
  • Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the unit.
  • Verify that the thermostat setting is higher than the ambient room temperature.
  • Ensure the overheat protection sensor has not been triggered. Allow the unit to cool down if it was recently running at high temperatures.
• Fan not working, but heat is produced: This indicates a potential issue with the fan motor. Discontinue use and contact customer support or a qualified technician.
• Heater does not automatically restart after power outage: This model requires manual restart after a power interruption.
• Remote control not responding: Check and replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the heater's sensor.
