6. 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, unit unplugged, safety switch activated (tip-over or overheat). | Check power cord connection. Ensure the heater is upright. Allow to cool if overheated. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Insufficient heat output. | Low heat mode selected, thermostat set too low, room too large. | Select Mode II (high heat). Increase thermostat setting. Ensure heater is appropriate for room size (up to 15 m²). |
| Unusual noise or smell. | Dust accumulation, new unit smell. | Clean grilles as per maintenance section. New units may emit a slight odor initially, which should dissipate. If noise or smell persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Heater turns off unexpectedly. | Overheat protection activated, tip-over switch activated, thermostat reached set temperature. | Ensure heater is not covered and has adequate ventilation. Check if it was tipped over. This is normal operation if the room reached the set temperature. |
