Troubleshooting
If the heater does not operate:
a. Make sure that the heater is plugged in.
b. Ensure that the outlet used is powered and
that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
c. Eliminate the use of an extension cord,
if possible. Otherwise, use an extension
cord with less length or greater size
(a lower AWG # indicates increased size).
d. Check for any obstruction in the heater’s vents.
If an obstruction is found, unplug the
heater and wait for it to cool completely.
Then, carefully remove the obstruction.
If the above remedies do not solve the problem,
take the heater to a qualified service technician
for diagnosis and repair.
