7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | No power supply. Overheat protection activated. Tip-over switch activated. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the outlet is functional. Unplug, let cool for 30 minutes, then restart. Ensure the heater is on a flat, stable surface. |
| Heater produces no heat. | Mode knob set to 'Fan Only'. Thermostat set too low. | Turn the mode knob to 'Low Heat' or 'High Heat'. Increase the thermostat setting. |
| Oscillation is not working. | Mode knob not set to an oscillation-enabled heat setting. | Ensure the mode knob is set to a heat setting that includes the oscillation function. |
| Heater emits a burning smell. | Dust accumulation. New unit smell. | Unplug and clean the air inlets/outlets. This is normal for new heaters and should dissipate after initial use. Ensure good ventilation. |
