• Liquid Level Check: Periodically check the liquid level in your radiator to ensure it remains adequate for proper heat transfer and to prevent dry heating.
• Professional Inspection: It is recommended to have the heating system, including the element, inspected by a qualified professional periodically.
• Avoid Obstruction: Ensure that the heating element and radiator are not obstructed by towels or other items that could impede heat dissipation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your heating element, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Turning On:
  • Check if the power cable is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the main power supply to the outlet is active.
  • Ensure the On/Off switch on the control unit is pressed.
• No Heat Output:
  • Confirm the device is powered on and the desired temperature is set above the ambient temperature.
  • Check the liquid level in the radiator. Insufficient liquid can prevent heating.
  • If the thermal fuse has tripped (due to overheating), the device will not heat. Allow it to cool down and check for obstructions or low liquid levels. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.
• Inaccurate Temperature Display:
  • Ensure the heating element is fully immersed in the radiator liquid.
  • If the display shows an error code or behaves erratically, try resetting the device by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
• Timer Function Not Working:
  • Ensure the Timer On/Off switch is pressed and a duration is selected.
  • Remember that in timer mode, the temperature is fixed at 65°C and cannot be manually adjusted.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support or a qualified electrician.
