7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your radiator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator does not turn on. | No power supply, power button not pressed, anti-tip switch activated. | Check if the plug is securely in the outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional. Press the power button. Check if the radiator is upright; if it was tipped, place it correctly. |
| Radiator is on but not heating. | Temperature setting too low, heat setting too low, room temperature already reached. | Increase the desired temperature setting. Select a higher heat intensity. The thermostat may have turned off the heating elements because the room has reached the set temperature. |
| Unusual odor during operation. | First use, dust accumulation. | A slight odor is normal during initial use and will dissipate. Ensure good ventilation. If the odor persists or is strong, unplug and contact support. Clean the radiator regularly to prevent dust buildup. |
| Remote control not working. | Dead batteries, obstruction, out of range. | Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the radiator. Operate the remote within its effective range. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact Black+Decker customer support.
