6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Heater Does Not Turn On:

• Power Check: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning 120V AC wall outlet.
• Mode Selection: Verify that the power control switch (right knob) is set to "FAN ONLY", "I" (LOW Heat), or "II" (HIGH Heat), not "O" (OFF).
• Tip-Over Safety Switch: The heater is equipped with an automatic tip-over safety switch located on the bottom. Ensure the heater is placed on a firm, level surface so the switch is fully depressed. If the heater is lifted or tipped, it will automatically shut off.
• Overheat Protection: If the heater has overheated, the internal overheat protection system may have activated. Refer to section 6.2 for reset instructions.

6.2 Overheat Protection Reset:

If the heater shuts off unexpectedly and you suspect overheating, follow these steps:

1. Turn the power control switch to the "O" (OFF) position.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Allow the heater to cool down for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Ensure that both the air intake and exhaust vents are clear of any obstructions.
5. Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
6. Turn the power control switch to the "I" or "II" position, and then the temperature control switch to the highest setting.
7. If the heater still does not operate normally after these steps, consult an authorized repair technician.
