Safety features
Overheat protection and prevention
An internal overheat protection system will shut down power to the appliance
if the internal parts get too hot (above 70˚C). All indicators will extinguish and
all functions will stop. The internal temperature must have dropped to a safe
level before the heater will restart.
While this features provides additional safety in case of overheating, first and
foremost you should make sure to eliminate all potential reasons that can lead
to overheating and create a fire risk.
If the overheat protection has been triggered, switch off the appliance, unplug
it from the electrical socket and let it cool for at least 10 minutes until all
surfaces are safe to touch. Eliminate the cause of the overheating (for
example, excessive dust in the appliance, or the air outlet is covered). Start
the appliance up again. If after eliminating the cause you still cannot switch
the appliance back on, or if the overheating protection circuit switches on
without an apparent reason, please contact our after sales support centre.
IMPORTANT!
• A common cause of overheating is deposits of dust and fluff entering
the heater. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging
the heater, allowing it to cool and cleaning it, as described in the
“Cleaning and maintenance” section.
• Also make sure that the appliance can sufficiently dissipate the heat
generated. This is particularly important in case the overheat protection
has been triggered. Ensure there is sufficient room all around the heater,
and nothing is covering or obstructing the air outlet or intake.
Tilt protection (tip-over safety switch)
This appliance is equipped with a tip-over safety switch, which switches the
appliance off in the event that it is knocked over or tilted to a position where
safe operation is in jeopardy. If this occurs, we recommend you switch off the
appliance manually before standing it upright again. Make sure to place the
appliance on a flat, level surface before turning it on again.
